Well, I personally do not have a rule on % spending on cables. The cables in my system right now constitute 20% of the total system cost. If I add the cost of the PLC, then it will be higher than 25% (well, the PLC is not 'processing' the music signal like other equipment but is in the power supply chain, right?) :-). <BR/><BR/>My cable cost is already higher than the individual prices of my pre-amp and CD player. So, the cables as a group can be considered as a 'system component' already (I understand this is still a contentious issue) :-). <BR/><BR/>And I foresee that my spending on cables will creep upward further. The recent addition of the Audioquest Sky and a Shunyata Taipan Helix pc had further moved my system's performance along, which I personally feel is very good value for money, and the pinch is not as painful as a major equipment upgrade :-). <BR/><BR/>The thing I learnt is that although any cable will allow you to listen to your music (heck, a RM2 pair of interconnect from any hardware store will pass music from your cd player to your amp), but for your equipment to perform at the max level it is capable of, you do need matching high performance cable (note I say high performance not high price) :-)hifikakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444327721660925774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15183108.post-55102062716282326262008-08-09T14:19:00.000+08:002008-08-09T14:19:00.000+08:00hooray to our debutant s.wufer! welcome to this co...hooray to our debutant s.wufer! welcome to this controversial-but-deliciously-honest blog!<BR/><BR/>looking forward to more contributions from you!maggielurva 愛美姬https://www.blogger.com/profile/14547223575199060065noreply@blogger.com
