This all depends on your components and what you're looking to get out of your system. If you have an AIWA receiver and some KLH speakers, chances are zip cord and $8,000 cables won't make a bit of difference.
My audio setup includes a tube amp, a $500 cd player, $1,600 speakers and $250 speaker cables.
When cables get up in this price range it makes great sense to buy them used. Not only are they a better deal, but if they were used properly they'll be burned in and sound better than new ones.
I've alson thought about purchasing some more expensive cable for my audio setup and moving my current cable in and hooking it up to my Outlaw.
But as I said in the very beginning, I'm not looking to start any flames or arguments, just wondering what brands and models people use (if any) and what your thoughts are about that cable and any comparison vs other cables using the same setup.
Ain't I just a huge pain in the ass....
