I don,t Understand ????

Have you seen the Designer's Reference? It's a firehose! No wonder they want a lot to reterminate. This is not your your average Radio Shack zip wire, it's about the thickness of all 4 of your fingers on one hand together or bigger. I've listened to this cable and it blew my socks off! But with a new baby on the way the $3600 was out of my league for the moment. If you really want to talk about expensive, check out the new Transparent speaker wire at a mere $23,500, or anything Transparent for that matter. I own all SR and to me it sounds better than any other cable I tried, including thin zip cable :> If you saw the Designer's Reference you'd not want to do it yourself.

Sounds like there was a mixup, and Synergistic realized the price error. $1000 is reasonable for this surgery (see my earlier posting), and coming down from a higher price is not necessarily unethical; to me it sounds like he is admitting an error. If evo is like China, he'll demand an apology and move on! :)
