A little History lesson on, "High- End" cables:


Inquiring minds might want to know, how the High-End cable market all got started.  Expiring minds?   Well......   (http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/a-short-history-of-high-end-cables/)

"I dont think they assume people on average would be. The business plan only requires selling a couple pairs a year . "

Their business plan relies upon ripping off gullible people with (hopefully) too much money to spend. Some business!
I’m not sure I would reference NASA as the source or inspiration for the MasterBuilt cables, you know, what with the fire 🔥 in the capsule, crappy Shuttle solid rocket 🚀 seals and lousy Shuttle 🚅 thermal tiles.
fleschler, I'd never heard of Grover Huffman cables.  They do look interesting, and certainly nicely priced.  Once again I have to marvel at how apparently many of these almost invisible companies there are that may well be selling superior products at relatively bargain prices.  As for RFI and EMI affecting the signal, I was surprised that with the nearly naked Omega Mikro ribbons, the music is very clean.  I'm not trying to sell them--pls don't misunderstand, just commenting out of interest--but I'd have guessed those factors would have affected the signal in view of the very minimal dielectric.  Don't know how that works.  As for Masterbuilt, I recall seeing them in a room at a show where the cabling alone was $200k.

O yes, also Omega Mikro recommends single-ended cables, in contrast to my component companies that recommend balanced which I'd thought were superior.  Not trying to start another thread here, but again just curious.  Their RCA-ended cables did best my pretty high end balanced.
