Silly prices for Nordost cables


http://www.nordost.com/images/review-images/review-pdf/127555.pdf

$38000 for a 2m pair?
$17000 for a 1.5m power cord?
$20000 interconnect for 0.6 meters and only(!) $2000 for an additional 0.5 meter?

I know the debate is tired but this is beyond ridiculous.

If one is on the position to buy "price no object" equipment,
why not?

Personally, I’m restricted to "value for your buck" gear and use Heimdall II for everything from the wall. Great stuff which gives you a sample of what the ridiculous ODIN is all about.

Nordost fans are like quality Chinese gear fans. There are either haters or believers.

If I had a $200k rig, I won’t be plumbing it with Blue Jean cable which by the way, is fine cable. I would be whipping out my Amex Black without reservation.

This thread is an entertaining read. The title of the thread clearly, is going to get the predictable responses. I'm  listening right now,  to my system WITH this  maligned brand and it sounds gooood.

As long as you've tried it, and it doesn't fit with your sonic goals, how about just move to the next brand without the negative comments? There are several "giant killer"brands for cheap. Plenty of threads with users claiming their  $200  speaker cable sounds just as good or better than Nordost cable.
