Reviews of $10k plus ics, speaker wires, and pcs


Do you think reviewers should do such cables? What about $30k plus components?

I don't understand your hypothetical question. You ask "should they?" What does it matter...they do. Stereophile, Absolute Sound as well as Dagogo and other online sites reach into the stratospheric range quite often.
Tbg,
No disrespect intended, but this topic has become really threadbare. Like any other type of artwork, film or journalism that we may not like or agree with, we have the freedom to ignore it. I find that the printed and online sources of audio reviews give enough space to middle priced gear, although I agree that the middle prices are certainly becoming what was once considered very high prices; and not too long ago at that.
Still, I find entertainment in reading about some of it. It is more interesting than reading about the latest from Rotel for my taste.
As to the question of should they review these expensive items, I say sure, why not?
Bo1972,
Good idea! Maybe then you can send shipments of $4,000 power cords to less fortunate audiophiles around the world so that they can finally hear what their $2,000 amps are really capable of.
Bol1972,
Don't forget to stop at my house! Actally, I don't doubt that what you are saying about power cords is true; why would you make it up? The problem is that most of us who have 2k or 3k amps can't afford 4k cords, and those of us who have amps in that price range can't justify the value quotient of a cord that expensive, as opposed to a complex piece of electronics of the same price.
One more thing, and I am not trying to poke fun at your English, because I wish that I was even slightly bilingual, but I wanted to point out in a friendly way that you often say "overwhole" when you mean to say overall.
I do enjoy your posts.

That's memorable. I thought Yogi Berra said some funny stuff, but that's right up there.
