Nordost selling a cable for $60k is not a scam if you believe that it makes your system sound better.
It is also true that no one will be able to rank any group of high-end cables by price, and you could probably include a few quality made Chinese knockoffs in that group along with them.
The question you have to ask about the fakes is, are they made as described in the product description details? If they are-- they just might be decent cables.
Honestly, anyone that believes they’re getting a real value for spending $60k on a cable, and has the money to do it -- well I’m pretty sure you’re what Nordost calls "a perfect customer".
Using excellent cables is important in any highly resolving audio system-- and a lot of cable companies take advantage of that situation by pricing their products crazy high -- because confirmation bias can be, with the right marketing, a gold mine.
