Silly prices for Nordost cables

I thought I'd point out that ordinarily we audiophiles tend to believe magnetism per se is bad (rpt bad) for the sound. That's why we eschew steel screws in speaker drivers and steel bolts for holding down large transformers and magnetic chassis cases, to name several examples. Not to mention the magnetic fields that are produced by the current traveling through transformers, power cords and even wires. So what's up with using magnets on interconnects, cables and power cords? And using magnets on chassis cases? I'm not saying it doesn't work, by the way, I'm just pointing out the rather obvious discrepancy.

Some points for snark Mr. Geoff. One reason people buy these cables is because the dealer advises them that they need them. I knew a dealer who would roll around in a pile of cables moaning. He said it made them sound better. The people I feel sorry for however, if I may lower the financial bar, are low and middle tier buyers who buy cables that make up 25% of the system price.

Fake news. Be happy, don’t feel sorry! Don’t follow leaders, watch the parking meters.

Rehashed OEM wire? You mean like refried beans or corned beef hash? Fancy jackets? White sport coat and pink carnation? All this cable talk is making me hungry! 🍔 🍟

How do Nordost prices compare to the Von Schweikert ULTRA Speaker internal wiring mod? How much was that? $35K or thereabouts, no? In fact, the Von Schweikert ULTRA 11 speakers are $300K. That's almost a Lamborghini Aventador. Hel-loo!  Nordost cables are starting to look like a bargain. Everything is relative. - Einstein

Geoffkait: Very few of the new Lamborghini Aventurado at $425K are sold, either. 😄 😄

Actually demand was too high and don’t want one every block so Lambo and Ferrari raised their prices to control/limit demand.

>>>>Yeah, right.

This discussion has become a little bit supercilious. 😀  Analysis Plus is good stuff. Amazing you can get a Power Pro Oval power cord 3’ long with Wattgate connectors and hollow oval conductor for less than 100 bucks. Cannot beat with stick.
