Directional interconnect cables

trust cable companies - they certainly know more and have more experience.

I am sure you can trust many of them, however, I would be cautious about their vested interest in selling higher margin products. And a $400 audio or video cable is likely a much higher margin product than say the latest competitively priced big ticket item such as a plasma HDTV or a speaker. Let's not be totally naive about the fact that these companies actually sell these things for a profit. There are probably very few who sell cables as a service to humanity because they "know more and have more experience".

I'll have double Grey Goose with three olives.

Shardone - Of course not to trust them completely but don't expect evil doing either. When I bought my car I trusted manufacturer - (profit oriented too).

Everybody is expecting conspiracy from cable manufacturers at different level. Is 9N copper or 7N silver necessary, what about zero crystal process? Is capacitance of 5pF or inductance of 40nH per foot necessary. Or complicated winding technics to lower skin effect in speaker cables. What about lowering dielectric constant by using oversized foamed teflon tubes? To many all of the above is snake oil and lamp cord from Home Depot is just fine. Whatever!

Crown on the rocks please...... No, wait, make that neat..... and a double.....
