tm....it IS true. I've heard many components including cables sound less good than less expensive ones. When I bought all my Ayre stuff, I also got the Ayre cables (made by Cardas) thinking that they were the best. After about a year of trying to "break in" the cables, I auditioned Nodost, Purist, Kimber, Audioquest, etc....all top of the line (most expensive) cables, and found that Anti-Cables were the best of them all in MY sytem. There was nothing worse than any Cardas permutation (I tried all of them because everyone told me that Cardas was the perfect match). Cardas was grainy, one dimensional, kind of brown in color, etc....awful. Interesting also was that Audioquest Sky/Everest was the Anti-Cables equal, but Audioquest signature WFL cables were way less good in MY system. Everyone MUST listen to components in THEIR system to determine if they work well.
