Sure, a person could spend a fortune on cables, but on some systems, it’s just wasted money at some point. I mean, if the system isn’t resolving enough, is there much difference between a $100 and a $1000 cable?
My nice-sounding (but arguably mid-fi) Audiolab 8000A surely benefits from better-than-stock cables, but the law of diminishing returns hits that kind of kit much more quickly than say a PS Audio BHK setup, yes?
So do you all use some kind of formula (even if from your gut) when deciding how much to spend on interconnects, and speaker and power cables, based on the value/resolution of your overall system? Or maybe it’s not just price, but selection based on comparable performance? (However you might measure that!)
(Maybe similar to selecting a cartridge based on the value of one’s turntable/tonearm? Lots of disagreements on that, though, to be sure!)
