Wow, $10k+ cables


I’m a true cables believer. I do believe they can make (significant) improvement to system but $10,000+ for a single power cord or a pair of interconnect? Cmon now

The description of the Nordost Odin1 is very much like the first power cord bewgow sent me. Impressively solid imaging, incredibly detailed, extremely fast and extended, and with excellent dynamics- but thin, especially in the bass, so that the overall impression was tipped up or hyped rather than smooth and balanced.  

But then the second version Supernova eliminated all those faults while raising the bar even a tiny little bit higher, with rock solid imaging only this time with subterranean bass, full body, and liquid smooth top end.
Or at least use an apostrophe in c’mon.
Anyway, what is the point of the thread? Every audio enthusiast has been well aware for a long time that there are cables in and above that price range. So what?

I’ve always thought the point of threads like this is three-fold. First, as always, to virtue-signal. It is a way of saying, "Hey look! I’m not one of these dumb schlubs sucking snake oil!"

Second, since all experienced audiophiles understand the value of quality these posts serve to distinguish the noobs and wanna-bees from the real deal.

Third and finally, we get to point out just how valuable the wire (amp, speaker, tweak, fill in the blank) is to real bona-fide honest to God audiophiles. Ones who can, you know, hear and appreciate the difference. 

Sometimes (not often) they learn the error of their ways, make amends, drop the attitude and learn something new. I know. Don’t happen often. Not holding my breath. But you never know....
