Buddy can you spare a dime for a $12,000 Ethernet cable?


I just read TAS’s coverage of the second Florida audio show.

While I absolutely love the results I’m getting from the $650 EtherRegen switch, and hear differences in Ethernet cables, I had to gulp at the prices one company is charging. Maybe I should start a Gofundme for contributions.

From TAS

“Ansuz Acoustics’ introduction of an entire line of Ethernet-related products. Of course, there were cables, and the A2 (approx. $1800 for one meter) and D-TC (approx. $12,600 for one meter) delivered a much wider soundstage and more palpable vocals than generic Ethernet cable. The D-TC model added noticeably crisper transients and even more spatial expansion. But the most eye-opening demo was of a line of Ethernet switches priced from $2200 to a whopping $14,000. Generic Ethernet switches are about $100 at Best Buy, but even the entry-level PowerSwitch proved to be a huge upgrade in terms of noise reduction, and the flagship PowerSwitch Supreme ($14k) made an incredible difference in clarity and dynamics. Dang! Yet another seemingly innocuous element (like power cords) that makes a difference.”

Their marketing department reminds them that they only have to sell about half a dozen of them to make an astronomical profit.
Just curious, how does one get a "huge upgrade in terms of noise reduction" when I don't hear any noise now? Is the reason I should apply for a medical marijuana card?
I was a doubting Thomas, until I listened to a set of AQ William Tell speaker cables.
The difference was quite clear to my ears. The only problem was whether it was worth the cost.
Luckily, I only needed 1 meter non-biwired cables, so, I bit the bullet.
