It is not that I need proof that high end cables sound better, I need proof that .50/ft. cable sounds bad. I am not willing to spend hundreds of dollars on cables that at most will attenuate the signal, when I could do the same thing with some capacitors and inductors.
Well yes people will justify an expensive cable cd player amplifier or speaker for that matter. And while this does occur the reverse is also the case. People who are envious because they don't have the money for such things will argue that their cheap item is every bit as good or better. Occasionally the cheaper is equal or better.

I have seen $70.00 Toasters. People with money have to have something to spend their money on...otherwise why enter into high pressure souless careers? Surely they don't put themselves through hell just to own a B&W over a Honda Civic. Then again maybe they do.

I have highly rated Tara Labs Prizm 11 interconnect Cables(given to me for free). I have never really closely evaluated them against the ones that came in the box. But in passing...I have noticed no difference and this is sighted supposedly biased environment. I should be raving about how great the cable is because of the reviews, the looks, the price(which was close to $100.00)....all that bias didn't effect me...there is no major difference or even a small one that I can hear. Have had em for 4 years.
