Silly prices for Nordost cables


http://www.nordost.com/images/review-images/review-pdf/127555.pdf

$38000 for a 2m pair?
$17000 for a 1.5m power cord?
$20000 interconnect for 0.6 meters and only(!) $2000 for an additional 0.5 meter?

I know the debate is tired but this is beyond ridiculous.

czarivey,
Judging from Audioquest's authentication policy, I think they would disagree with you....
A man came into an audio salon I used to know. He bought tens of thousands of dollars of gear and speakers from this place. While I was in that store looking at the much more modest stuff I could afford, that salon owner looked at me and said, "Now that guy knows what he wants in stereo equipment!!!" Needless to say I never went back to that store. Moral of story. Fat wallets don't necessarily make golden ears.
Infection. 
Actually, I'm a bitter, angry, middle-aged old fart;).....
Cheers,

I think many audio manufacturers make cost-no-object products. I think for them, they like to see what they can make with no restrictions. BUT they would be the first to tell you the products they make that are more modest in price are what keeps them in business. If Wilson only made their WAMM loudspeaker(650k), I wonder how long they would stay in business? Just my opinion....
Trickle down products. You'd like to think (and hope) every manufacturer would do that...
