For me it would be mandatory. For you, you'll have to find out for yourself.

I forgot, there is one $200 cable I very much like: the Music Metre Canto. They come close to ny Luminous Audio Synchestra Signature Reference.

Matthew, why don't you put your skeptism to rest by going to a gathering or meet? I'm sure there has to be someone close enough who has high-end cables for you to audition.

And most of all, i think there are distributors who can let you audition their cables before you decide to stay with them.

Really?
I seem so remember a certain young man at a recent Head-fi meet who was really enjoying the Cardas Neutral Reference interconnects on his system.

Have opinions changed since then? Not trying to give you a hard time, just curious.

Tod, i paid 200 dollars for the CNR's and they're nice cables, however, i realize that my money would be better spent ona new source. It's just that i didn't want to pass up the deal. I'm not going to argue that cables make a difference, it's just that these things, IMHO simply are not worth 400 dollars.

And i spent a whole 15 dollars on my extention cable

47 lab OTA kit, you get 50 meter of cables and supposed to beat much costlier cables.
• OTA cables

so, 1 meter of these cables come to mere 12 bucks.
Good cables don't have to be expensive.
