Yup. But I've just never found myself sitting at a console and going "Man, that ____ sound sucks. If I had those $550 XLR cables and a few $300 IEC cables for the preamp and EQ I'm using it would sound way better". Maybe someone else has said that at some point but I really dobut it. Usually if it sucks I want to change something on the human end of it, like the player or myself.

All you need to make a record is a mic, some tape and maybe some bad reverb...
