I think some cables are just a little too expensive.


A while back a shop I did business with carried Transparent Audio Cables. They were so expensive it was obscene. They did sound good, but you had to move up from the bottom to the more idiotically pricey models to start to feel the magic. It had been several years ago and I wanted to check in on my old friends at Transparent Audio. This is their top of the line speaker cable. Now if you don't have a problem with this whole cable thing, this might push you over the edge. I can't imagine a speaker that would need such a cable. Wilson? Rockport? What amp? You can buy a nice luxury vehicle for the same price as a pair of speaker cables? Nelson Pass would be embarrassed to see these monstrosities on one of his amplifiers.

ChrisminiYour job should you accept it is...finding out what is in these cables to justify the price!
I heard a guy did that on youtube. Probably not the 65K model. I was told resistors and capacitors. I borrowed a $6000 balanced and it did sound awfully smooth. 1998. They made their networks out of aluminum back then. Most designers can't wait to tell you why their gear is worth so much. Not these guys. Very hush hush.
No speaker "needs" that cable. If you listen and compare and feel its worth it, its worth it. What more is there to it than that?
"What more is there to it than that? "

There is the part where people complain about sour grapes. It happens all the time with expensive items.
Another cable bashing thread...no wait, is it another thread about digital vs vinyl? Nah...may be the next post from OP clears the confusion.

The man with a headphone setup....what is your end game?
