I finally decided that expensive cables aren't worthwhile...

He goes on about how expensive cables aren't worth it but has a $52,000 phono pre-amp and $55,000 speakers. 
My equipment is listed in my profile. After 40 years of experience and many different systems and many different cables, I've ended up with my current system which is the best I've ever had, and it includes some expensive cables, Tara Labs 0.8 XL
I've decided to sell my cables and put the funds towards my dream fund for a Boulder 2108 phono preamplifier. I'm going back to Blue Jeans cables. That's right... :blah: I tried some great cables in a great system in my own home for a few years. My conclusion is that they are silly.
Heck after the binding posts in my speakers, there's some basic wiring that goes to a 15 cent connector that snaps into another 15 cent connector that goes to more basic wiring then to the crossover, then back out via more basic wiring and even more 15 cent connectors then finally to the drivers. And this is in the $55,000 Tannoy Westminster GR. Anything more than Blue Jeans cables seems stupidly wasteful.
And there's nothing too special about the wiring inside my Boulder preamplifier and power amplifier. No more expensive interconnects or speaker cables! Super expensive phono preamplifier incoming (hopefully)... :angel:
