I've been wondering if those expensive cables affect sound production in a way that the normal cables can't? I've seen some ads concerning those expensive cables, and I am considering blowing my budget to get those.

Do you think it is a wise idea to do so? What has been your experience with using expensive cables? Is there a big difference between them and the normal ones?

See, I've got to be honest with you and speaking from experience, using cheap, well-built cables sound just neat and dynamic.

So, using an expensive cables rarely make any big upgrade in sound quality. The big differences are noticed with upgrades on amps, speakers and in some cases, room treatments.

For that reason, I won't advise that you spend above your budget getting expensive cables when you can spend that on upgrading the speakers, for example.
