Are cables really worth their high price because of their geometry?

They’re some pricey cables that have claim to fame because of the high tech geometry used in their cables.
Many of these cables have patents on specific geometry patterns used in their cables and use this as a reason their cables sound so good. For that reason, many say the reason their cables cost so much is they’re so complex . The man hours to make a pr results in their high price. That maybe true for some cables, but I’ve seen very pricey cables using the same geometry reason that look like a thin piece of wire rapped in outer jacket no thicker than a pencil. So,Is all this geometry just another way to justify their cost or is it true science that we are paying in the end?

Hello b4icu,

I’m not a salesman. Actually, I’m looking to buy cables. I may even try your idea but your attitude is turning me off.

Audiophiles are not stupid. They’re not going to pay $$$$ for nothing. No one does. 
You can only con once. Cable manufacturers have been around for years and are still here. Doesn’t this say something?

Mr. madcow

The fact it's going on for years, doesn't make it right.
The fact is, it was a deception from the beginning. As long as it worked:
New tels, new arguments, new customers, the business kept going.
Now it's called Geometry. Till the next BS idea.
Look at prostitution. It's the oldest profession and still exist.
Is that a good idea to use or become one?

Silly example on prostitution. Really. Prostitution has an immense value. For both providers (they get paid for it, it is a job), and the clients (they get something very satisfying in return for their money).

b4icu,

There is really nothing to argue about. You believe what you believe and let others believe what they believe.

Do not ridicule others just because they don’t agree with you.

It appears to me that anyone not agreeing with you is a cable salesman. Seems like we have a world of salesmen.
