I compare a lot of the audiophile stuff to kitchen utensils.

An Oxo spatula can cost $10-$15. A WalMart brand spatula can cost upwards of $0.32 Both will flip your pancakes just fine, yet I buy Oxo. My pancakes don't taste better.

A while ago, I was auditioning a pair of homemade elctrostatics. This guy was the streotype audiophile who counts the copper molecules in each cable. But while listening, all I could hear was the traffic outside, the water running in the walls, etc.

Now call me crazy, but wouldn't a better audio upgrade be to stop the dishwasher, turn off the sprinkler system, close the windows, stop the wife from vacumming and soundproof? I can't hear the difference between cables but I sure as hell can hear the interstate traffic in the distance.

P.S. Every cable I own came from MonoPrice and Jeff didn't blink an eye when he saw them.
