This is all disgusting. Like UFO people, conspiracy nuts, etc.

You could spend under $300 on sound equipment and $30 on cables and 99% of the population wouldn't be able to tell a difference between that and the idiot poo poo these people spend thousands on.

Haha are you serious? A $30,000 set-up that includes room acoustic treatment and CHEAP rear end cables will sound worlds better than a $300 set-up to pretty much anyone who isn't deaf.

Their may be a different sound (the sound is one reason I tell my wife I prefer watching movies at the theater), but not everyone is a crazy/anal audiophile when it comes how they hear things at home.

That's why the cheap built-in speakers that come in TVs is good enough for most people.

"Can I hear it clearly?" is the qualifying question many people have if they put any thought into the sound system.

Of course some people will spend hundreds, or even thousand on great theater-like sound, but the people linked to in this thread are just over the top, with the stupid cables and wrapping their equipment in paper and poo poo.

All I know about music:

After spending ~$120 on some desktop speakers, I swear 128kbps and 192/256kbps MP3s sound different.
