The worst of all are boutique digital cables. At least with the analog stuff there is a plausible argument (even if it is actually bollocks).

But expensive digital cables actually give you 1's and 0's.
The cheap ones give you 0.99999999999's and 0.00000000001's.

I'm as guilty of it as anyone else,
My current system took a couple of years to piece together, I had the power amp stashed under my bed for a year until I could afford the pre-amp to go with it,
I'd read for years about it's legendary status and I'd wanted one from seeing them at hifi shows as a kid, but above all else I wanted one because of how it looks, to my eyes it is one of the most beautiful aesthetic objects I've ever seen,
When I finally got it up and running I was a bit underwhelmed, so asked around the brand forum for advice, the majority was to swap out the expensive speaker cable and use the companies own cheaper cable,Sure enough it was "as if a veil had been lifted in front of the music" everything came into focus and it really does sound magnificent,
But then again, I spent £250 on a glass optical cable for my streamer and can't tell the difference between the £20 I had before it.
Enjoy what you have, don't get too caught up listening to the system and trying to analyse it.

To each their own I guess, but yeah, totally crazy.. I think I said upthread, but the shop I got my B&W's from sells Wilson stuff that costs upwards of $100k. He tried to get me to buy wire that cost more than half the price of my speakers and did cost more than my humble Onkyo A-9150 (which at $350 is a total bargain). Insanity. Imagine spending the same on interconnects and power cables. And for what? Mad mad mad.
@rogan - which amp are you using with your LS50s?
