Douglas, so entirely not even close to true, much less relevant. Another attempt at setting your own standards for criteria, and if those criteria were met, you’d change them. As after as the Ops question, no idea about geometry, and I don’t bother reading all the marketing hype. I do as so many others do, listen and let my ears tell me what they hear. Are speaker cables overpriced, yes. I doubt those companies could show us that their costs and profit levels are equal to or less than the audio industry standards. Is what it is I suppose, so it’s up to each to decide what it’s worth to them in the end.
Are cables really worth their high price because of their geometry?
They’re some pricey cables that have claim to fame because of the high tech geometry used in their cables.
Many of these cables have patents on specific geometry patterns used in their cables and use this as a reason their cables sound so good. For that reason, many say the reason their cables cost so much is they’re so complex . The man hours to make a pr results in their high price. That maybe true for some cables, but I’ve seen very pricey cables using the same geometry reason that look like a thin piece of wire rapped in outer jacket no thicker than a pencil. So,Is all this geometry just another way to justify their cost or is it true science that we are paying in the end?
