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.

There is a watch maker who made 10 prototypes that went for over $400K apiece. He went to a harbor populated by the kind of yachts one would see at a Formula 1 race and went from boat to boat to gauge reaction to his newest line. When he left, he had sold all 10 and had orders for 20 more. 

There is wealth out there that most here simply can't wrap their minds around, myself included.

Agreed, it is ridiculous, but, there was an article over at 6moons that dealt with this topic and one speaker builder wasn't selling as much as he thought he would and he noticed all the money was chasing the higher priced gear. He then went with another model that was basically the same but with a premium finish and and a premium (several times the original) price tag and he couldn't make enough to meet demand. 

The rich will always have their way and couldn't care less what we mere mortals think. 😶
