I have no idea when it comes to cables and sort of delighted you think a £50 will do a good enough job. I think the ones I have listed are in between £150 and £190...... I just remembered the golden rule of budget 10% for cables ?
As a rule, it's not that golden. Certainly, 10% has been touted as a guide figure by some of the hifi mags over the years. However, opinions differ wildly on this one in the real world. As an example, I reckon F1eng's cable budget is currently pushing about 0.00006% of total spend.
As another example, at a cable demo once I quite liked the £50 cable, I didn't think I could hear much difference in cables further up the range to about £700, but the bonkers expensive top of the range offering did appear to be a tad better than the rest.
