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?

When he set his sights on audiophile gadgets James Randi first offered 1M to a customer of mine if he could pass the double blind test for the Intelligent Chip. That was way back in 2005. Negotiations eventually broke down, however, just as they did later with Fremer and the cable Challenge. Who knows why someone who made his name going after dowsers and spoon-benders wanted to go after audiophiles? My guess is he wanted some action. I was the subject of five - count em! - of his Newsletters. One of his droogies challenged me to a judo fight on board Randi’s yacht during a retreat in the Caribbean. Too much fun! By the way, Randi got a lot of his $$$ from Johnny Carson.

By the way, I don’t think you’re a troll. I know you are.
Uh, nobody is paying $70,000 for cables. I don’t even have capable, End of debate.

Besides, neutrons produce nuclear chain reactions. Those are very bad for sound. 😬
I suppose I’m on the other end of the spectrum since I don’t use speaker cables. Sorry to bring the average down 😬
Another troll trait, if I can be so bold, is the use of a moniker that appears absolutely legit, as if the troll really is an audio nut or audio insider. You know, a moniker like say audiopro, hififreak or....funaudiofun

Am I mistaken or have controlled blind tests raised their ugly heads? Quick, somebody turn the Fasten Seat Belts sign on.
