| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Samsung came out with a flat screen on Amazon for over $100k. As you might figure, jokes were abound in the comments section. | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? jl35, I'm ok with Gates having Wamm system, along as he had the sense to kick the guy, who was trying to sell him $100k cables, out the door. 😏 | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Geoffkait, you’re not taking your Ritaline. Stay on track. Focus man. We’re talking cables here. You can’t compare the technology and man power that go into 5th generation stealth fighter with technology of audio cables. | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Yea, it may be pocket change to them, but it's still $100k. You wonder why people like Paris Hilton get so much hate. But you do have people like Bill Gates and warren Buffet who actually haven't gone off the deep end given their immense wealth.... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? ji35, by the same logic, if you bought a $100k ultradef 80" flat screen TV, it would be logical to spend $10k-20k on a coaxial video cable? Thank god videophiles are not suckers. | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? jl35, I'm repeating this for the 3rd time. I've already said $2700 was too much for speaker cables and regret the purchase. Funny thing is no audiophile ever told me that was too expensive. Sorry, I don't agree $100k cabling might be good fit fo... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Just a thought. How do cable manufacturers justify the price of their megabuck cables? The material cost of nearly unobtanium radioisotope treatment of there cables? Their mega research facility cost? Labor cost? Cost of hiring a Haitian voodoo d... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? David12, I didn't start this thread to start a flame war. Recently I looked into speaker purchase, and someone on another forum started a thread on cabling for the speaker I was interested in. The cabling for the whole system costs over $100k. ... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Uncledemp, all of my acoustic treatments come from GIK Acoustics. Go to their website which has plenty of informative material on acoustic room treatments. | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Phusis, although you can try "natural" acoustic treatments as you describe it, they are nowhere nearly as effective as absorbers and diffusors that are made based on mathematic calculations from acoustic theory. For example, book selves filled wit... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Nice try, geoffkait, I bought my $2700 cables 5 years ago. Adjusting for inflation, the price hasn’t changed much at all given the slow growth of our economy. And any cable with asking price $2700 is still too expensive today, IMO. 20 years ago, I... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Calloway, appreciate the compliment. At some point, I’ll have to put up some photos of my system. | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Faster61woman, acoustic room treatment -- now that's a subject really worth deep discussion! It perplexes me to no end when audiophiles spend $10k on speaker cables, and you find their system is in a room with no acoustic treatment other than th... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Dear Callaway, my current system includes Raidho D2 (waiting fir my D2.1 to arrive), completely rebuilt QUAD ESL 57, Ridge Street Audio Sason (out of business now), Silverline Minuet, slightly modded Bob Carver Cherry 180 (kickass 200 watt tube mo... | |
| Raidho D1's and recommendations for amplifiers Kin, can you describe the difference in sound between the dartZeel and Soluution amps with your Raidho? |
