Carefully listening, I have been, now answer I shall.
Audiophile - 20+ years, worked in high end - YES Musician- YES, expert set up for studios - that would be me. Write physics books since age of 16 - YES me too. Sick , crazy audiophile who bought house for system - your looking at him. Cables, had them ALL , loved MIT for many years, sold gobs of Transparent crap, but then I got a call from LA, you gots to try these, so reluctantly I did, 4 hours later I realized that all the cable companies are out of business. And no sir, it's not system matching , that's bull, how many of you built a simple barrel and connected a DAC directly to a pre input to hear what your 5K or .05 cent wire does to the signal, then listen to light, then stop buying wire, start buying more LP's CD's 8 traks, whatever, and spend less time reading this crap. As far as cost, 1100 a meter, for what they do , A BARGAN . THEY BLEW AWAY 15,000.00 interconnects, and not by a small margin, if you guys have a good rig, its like listening to a new system, sounds simply analog, NO its not real, I still hear all the MICs and the mixing board where there is one, but I HEAR it!
