Yes a nightmare. At least in other areas of audio there is often (not always) some kind of vague relationship between price and performance or technology and performance. Not so with cables where suck it and see is ulthimately all that you can do. OK I have never heard cheap cables that perform as well as (reasonably) expensive ones but that is comparing extremes.All made even worse by the inumerable manufacturers and product lines. I often imagine that there is a 1:1 ratio between the number of customers and the number of cable manufacturers;-)
What a shame that the wrong choice of cable can stultify an otherwise good audio system. Yet still nobody really seems to know why despite the amount of hokum offered in many quarters.
