Who said the wire was more than the components?
It was $18k in BAT VK-150se amps, $10k BAT VK-51se preamp, $80k speakers, $8k Electrocompaniet CD player....
The wire was a bargain in relation to what it brought to the table.
For some reason Audiogon has recently become more hostile, particularly to any mention of premium audio cable or other tweaks. I thought that went away a couple of years ago when everyone realized good cable helps. It appears it has not.
Perhaps they are not supporting their belief or moved to one of the other two websites that are more focused on high end performance and discussions of same.
