Audio cables are among the most important accessories that audiophiles pay close attention to in music. Most of them can spend thousands of bucks to get the best audio quality possible. Some audiophiles claim that audio cables can make or even break their hi-fis sound, but some of them don’t believe in this and go for the cheapest audio cables.
Debates on audio cables have existed for many decades, but the only way to know which piece is quality for sure is to try one of the most expensive cables of all time. Here are some of the most expensive audio cables currently on the market.
