Why pay so much?


If you want to think cables make a huge difference in sound fine...but why pay up to $70,000 for speaker wire?

You can buy 38 lbs of 99.99% bullion silver for $10,000 or 4000 lbs of 99.99% bullion copper.

Buying a pair of 12 foot $5,000 wire is obserd it costs like $30 to make and WBT connectors are also highly inexpensive to make too.

Why do you guys shell out money on a clear fact that you guys are insecure about using low priced stuff and these people know that and take advantage of that.

How do you guys let yourself taken advantage of?

Have you ever listened to a $100. interconnect in a high performance system, then listened to a $2000. interconnect in the same system.

You will hear the difference.  When  building a system, everything matters as has often been stated here over and over.

I do';t know what stated this stratospheric pricing of cables many years ago BUT the higher end ones do make a noticeable difference. especially if the rest of your equipment is at a similar level.

I just replaced a 20 yr. old $2000.  interconnect with a $4000.interconnect and there is a big difference. There are things I never heard before the upgrade now available and all the audiophile buzz words can be used in describing the new "sound".  Worth $2000. ??  Depends on the buyers perspective and desires.

ps.  Don't justify raw costs with the selling price. If you knew the material cost of everything you bought, you would never buy anything.
Since you trust billion dollars companies blindly, have you flown on any 737 MAX jets lately? I think they are grounded for some design flaws.
