Here is a question. Near all of us have some type of budget our stuff, you have to with this hobby. Do you have, that is already own, a single run/pair of cables (headphone, interconnects, speaker cables, and/or power cable) that was more expensive than either of the two components the cables are connecting?
For example, you have this following:
$700 CD Player => $500 pair of interconnects => $1000 amplifier
You would answer no.
If you have
$700 CD Player => $750 interconnects => $1000 amplifier
You would answer yes.
If you answer yes tell us what and why.
Well I own a pair of $200 speakers (Acoustic Energy Aegis One), and I have $350 speaker cables (Transparent MusicWave 10ft') so my answer is yes. I did this because I figured it would ward off upgradeitis, which it did. I'm struggling with this though because of that Zu Mobis 2. $300 headphone cable on a $300 headphones (www.jandr.com). It was not a really good idea on my speakers and I'm not sure it will be a good idea on my headphones.
Ready... go!
