Phild - like all components in electronics, if you want to get the last 5% of performance out of cables, you have to resort to exotic materials and constructions. This is expensive no matter how you spin it. Low volume, high-cost = expensive. The challenge is finding the product that achieves the point of diminishing returns for a reasonable price. An most of all, ignore the price and listen to the performance.
Regarding a review in the Aug '02 Stereophile...
This has become of interest since the review in the August 2002 issue of Stereophile (ref. ppg. 85-87).
I guess the main focus is on how the speaker cables are compared in the article, seeing as though the Valhalla is about 8 times the retail price of the Au24.
I am interested to hear comments on the review, and even more importantly, listening impressions on one or both of these models.
