Are audiophiles still out of their minds?
I read Dave Wilson set it up in his home...ask Dave :)

didn't mean to downplay the great charitable work of Gates...but good people have very expensive toys when they're super wealthy

I read long ago that Gates had a Wilson Wamm system...bet he used some pretty good cables...sure has a nice house...I was outraged the first time I compared interconnects and liked the $150 Museatex more than the $15 Signet...

I'm sure they get a good discount as part of a seven figure system and room rebuild

 I have never compared cables on a $100k+ amp or $100k+ speakers...I have never heard a system that expensive...I sort of assume that for those who spend $!00k on cables, that that is relative pocket change to them...

they don't have to justify and they probably sell very few $100k cabling systems

though I sure see many many more seven figure cars than music systems

$100k cabling for a 7 figure system and room might be a good fit if well matched. As to the societal ethics of seven figure systems...though many would say the same for $2700 cables and Raidho, Quad, Carver, Bedini in one home... 
Pioneer SA9100 & TX9100 repair near McLean VA? (Worth it?)
I still use and enjoy the TX-9100 tuner, which has only had a cleaning

last recapped, refurbed SA-9100 on ebay sold for $350...probably no way the repair and refurb will cost less than that...

some prefer the sound of vintage gear, and those models refurbished in good shape can have value

Recapping will improve the sound considerably. Not really worth if financially/sonically, but if you like the unit....I had my old Yamaha integrated recapped and still enjoy using it 40 years later...

yes, I meant this thread, and yes, pointless

Al did a superb job of summing up the issue in an earlier thread he previously mentioned.  Interesting that none of the commenters on 10K+ cables and expensive fuses has mentioned any experience listening to and comparing them... 
Great bookshelf or small towers suggestions
Dali makes some great bookshelf and small floorstanders, with matching centers, that include a ribbon tweeter
