Your point about a chain being no stronger than its weakest link is a good one, as usual. But I believe a bit more emphasis should be put on the cost-effectiveness issue -- it all depends on how strong (or expensive) a chain you want. Unfortunately I wince just a bit at the thought of paying $45 for a one-meter cable, but then I only have $950 or so tied up in my system. (Let me add that I don't own many components, since I decided to wait awhile 'til the bugs are worked out of the CD system. Luckily, since I'm still a starving student, it isn't difficult to wait!) I mean, I spent nearly $20 for my speaker cables, and I thought that was just a teensy bit extravagant.... But they are more than adequate for my current needs (no pun intended, but accidents do happen). To paraphrase another contributor, Yours for higher fidelity -- at a reasonable price.
