| The Cost of Cables Great posts Chris. I am certainly not saying it is easy to start a company, such as one to make and sell cables, but again, neither is it for any other part of the industry. Also, I wouldn't throw us all under the bus by saying we don't have the g... | |
| The Cost of Cables Sometimes both. :) | |
| The Cost of Cables LOL John,Tvad, doubtful, but nothing wrong with a friendly discussion is there? Obviously it'd be great if discussions like this grew into something that made a difference. I believe we already know the REAL reason. | |
| The Cost of Cables No, it does not surprise me John.The only "problem" I have with your scenario about R&D costs is that it is the same for the rest of the industry.Brian | |
| The Cost of Cables Well said Brian. Now you seem to grasp the situation.I wouldn't say that I have now gotten a grasp of this situation, I already felt this way; I was open to being shown I am wrong. Brian | |
| The Cost of Cables Quite frankly, I started this thread because it appears to me that the purchase price of cables are just plain rediculous, but wanted an open discussion if anyone could enlighten me/us differently.Obviously there is nothing wrong with companies ma... | |
| The Cost of Cables John, I certainly don't disagree with what you are saying; as I stated in the original post, I think cable costs are staggering. I only recall one person in this thread making a case for the possibility of cables costing a lot. | |
| The Cost of Cables That's how I thought it to be also RW, but as I say, I am no automotive expert.JayDee, great to see your name appear, I haven't seen a post from you in a LONG time. (Good chance I just haven't seen your posts.) | |
| The Cost of Cables The sad impression I have is that cables work and expensive ones in general work better.The question is not whether they make a difference or not but rather why do they cost as they do. What makes the more expensive ones, more expensive?There are ... | |
| The Cost of Cables I can understand that Calloway, I guess my question all along is, are cables marked up FAR more than the rest of audio or legit reasons for the costs. The concensus is that they are marked up far more. | |
| The Cost of Cables ...is there $70,000 more car in the porsche then in the kia?..probably not.Maybe, maybe not. But I can look at a Porsche and a Kia next to each other and easily see huge cost differences. On the other hand, while one can (sometimes) see cost diffe... | |
| The Cost of Cables I pay extra for high test gasoline, which some people say makes a lot less sense than expensive cables, but I have no intent to change.Using a "high test" gasoline, higher octane, can actually be bad for a car if it doesn't call for an octane that... | |
| Turn on amp w/o speakers Phil Jolet has it right, based on those I have asked. That said, it is best to contact the manufacturer and ask them; it is better to be safe than sorry. (I have done this with a few SS amps.) | |
| Monitors vs. Floorstanders - What an eye opener I can relate to your experience due to a past experience of my own. A friend brought over his B&W Signature 805's and after playing them on my system we returned to my floorstanders, which I admit that I could never get right, and I prefered t... | |
| Krell 400xi vs. BAT VK-300x vs. McIntosh MA6900 I have to agree with Nwavesailor. I have come to ignore JC's opinions after participating in and reading his posts where he tried a MC402. The hard part is that JC is so over the top with his statements, like above, it is hard to just "let go".Hav... |
