ajzepp Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Let's just say whenever someone hears the vast difference between interconnects, it is time to roll the eyes and throw the audio BS flag. Time and again, double blind studies have shown that to be BS. 659828[/snapback] My speaker wires right now are $80/pair (Cobalt Cables) and my interconnects are $30/pair (Outlaw Audio cables). For me to spend much more than that, I'd really have to hear something CLEARLY improve. I'm not ready to play around with it yet, but I do feel that I'm at the level of gear quality where I want to see if cables can make any difference, you know? Even if I do hear some improvement, I'm still probably not going to drop $1.5k on them.....but I might spend more than what I do now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajzepp Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Oh. You be one of those rich fellas. 660279[/snapback] Not even close. This is just what happens to your disposable income when your wife becomes your ex-wife I've dropped about $6k on my audio system this year, and that is a LOT of money to me. But I don't really care about nice cars...I'm a "point A to point B" kind of guy. I shop at the Kohls Mens department, don't eat out a lot, am currently w/out female adherance, and no kids to speak of. So, aside from my dog and the basic necessities of life, I don't have much goin' on right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a fuggn' tool, I guess. 660424[/snapback] Most people have hobbies they like to put a good portion of their money into. I'll never bust a guy's chops for wanting to hear his music as cleanly as he can. Some folks like to put their money into their boat, or their golf game, or their home theater, or their garden. Me? I put it into drinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not heard them, but they are supposed to be special. (And if anyone wants to see the amp I just picked up for my home rig, it's the 5150 model under the home audio secion.) I'm thinking about picking up an '06 Jetta later this year, and I may outfit the thing with some of the Butler car amps....I have a decent commute to work, so why not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
