Honestly some cables are not worth their price, but if I have money that I don't need, and I have expensive system, I will buy why not?Mike Lavigne has a good explanation about this topic.Mike is Agon member.
Why pay so much?
If you want to think cables make a huge difference in sound fine...but why pay up to $70,000 for speaker wire?
You can buy 38 lbs of 99.99% bullion silver for $10,000 or 4000 lbs of 99.99% bullion copper.
Buying a pair of 12 foot $5,000 wire is obserd it costs like $30 to make and WBT connectors are also highly inexpensive to make too.
Why do you guys shell out money on a clear fact that you guys are insecure about using low priced stuff and these people know that and take advantage of that.
How do you guys let yourself taken advantage of?

Why not? If you have already built the perfect listening room with the perfect speakers and an amp to drive them, and upgraded all your programming material to the best mastering.... then why not... I guess because there are much better holes to throw money into - vintage Italian sport cars for example. |
You know what I don't get? Is everyone called me a troll, when in reality, no one really said or could refute that $1,000+ cables are using like $10 worth of copper, $10 worth of silver, and really fancy $3 worth of cable jackets, and expensive fancy connectors that cost like $1 to make. Why not respond to that. Don't call me a troll, if you can't refute the cost to build, and the cost of sale. |
Belden Brilliance. An almost $3 billion dollar company who sells their products to NASA. If I'm not mistaken, 99.99% pure copper. If I'm not mistaken, inductance is very "important" in a wire along with capacitence. $1 a foot in some places. Get some tech flex cable jackets, wbt connectors, and for like $100, you have arguably the best speaker wire on the planet. They could open up a company, and sell it for $1,000 a foot, and no one would know. Price = quality is a joke. https://catalog.belden.com/index.cfm?event=pd&p=PF_1313A https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://info.belden.com/hubfs/resou... |
The same can be said of MANY products. Even more abstract is how services are valued. Ever used the services of a lawyer or doctor? |
