As a Volkswagen dealer and a Nordost Valhalla owner I take exception to the analogy I would prefer to think of them more akin to the new Passat W8, reasonably priced given the technology , built with quality in mind not mass marketed,and all the speed and precision that you or your system can handle. Just as their are a few great automobiles out there, their are many fine cables and just as you "test drive" a car before you buy it do the same with cables then and only then can you make an educated decision . I have gone up the ladder with Nordost from the red dawn to the spm and now the valhalla and although I can never say I was displeased with a product each step up gave me an enhancement to what I had previously enjoyed. So just as their is not one car for all people cabling is also very personel and system dependent so grasp the hobby that we enjoy experiment to your hearts content and purchase the ones that suit you best . Ps. just one more car thing if you notice certain used cars hold their value so do good used cables if you use that as a barometer this will give you an idea of where to put your money.
