    some folks have rocks in their heads, and some have rocks taped on their cables.
    If you really want to rock, try using a granite slab, like an ultraflat for your turntable, it will minimize vibrations and looks very chic...

    If the question was more like is there a difference between a $50 department store turntable and a REGA III, that would be more comparable.

    Cables, sure some like Beldin and others are better than the $20 ones, but $11,000 ????
    If you were on a desert island and all you wanted to hear was some music for the pure sake of enjoyment, I doubt you'd be too concerned about the audiophile quality of the cable unless the cable was broken.

    You either use equipment to listen to the music, or you use music to listen to the equipment.

    People who claim they can hear the difference between expensive speaker cables and very expensive speaker cables... no.

    There are some myths and stories that have persisted for years and decades, which can and will only be refuted through argument or physical measurement. Sure, the truth sometimes hurts some users and believers, but that's the truth.
