$10k Speaker Cables??????????????

"A fool and his money are soon parted"......Some people have more money than (cents) sense, BTW, I'm not rich, but if i were, i still wouldn't give up my (Cardas) unless i heard a really appreciative difference !!!

I imagine you would have to compare some other high end cable with Cardas in your system to determine if you might be overlooking some other cable. It’s kind of a catch 22. My old boss at NASA told me never get behind anyone 100%. 

You could look at 10k cables as all being relative.
I use $1200 cables on 4k speakers so roughly 30% of the cost of the speakers.
If you step that up it would only equate to a set of 34k speakers approx.
Now granted that is a little out of the average audiophile pocket but to some it is a price they would pay for their speakers so why not 10k for their cables?
It is then up to their ears if it was worth it or not.

I love to spend at least 10k for a great cable.

I seem to remember a set of used speakers for sale here at Audiogon for ~$450,000. I also seem to remember that each speaker had its own built in amplifier. That means you do not need amps/monoblocks or high dollar speaker cables, which really makes them a bargain.

I assume it also means that those of us who have $50k speakers with $10k cables just have no idea what really good equipment sounds like.

Of course the usual response seems to be "Well, I heard a million dollar system at a show and it didn’t sound any better than my $xxxxx.xx system." ;-)
