Silly prices for Nordost cables

@dgarretson

Because they have the highest profit margin in all of audio and lead the way in untethering price from value. This wouldn't be so unusual if audio could be classified as true luxury goods, but just try impressing your friends with your Vacheron, Murcielago, and, oh yeah, your $70K speaker cables.

Purchasing decisions are personal whether to impress, SQ ... not a factor to survival of an industry.   I counter high prices are a major indication industry is healthier than ever. 

AGAIN, companies prices are driven by consumers demand.  As long as there are demand to support a price, companies will oblige. Simple econ 101.

Neither. I don't use anything more than $30 interconnects. I prefer to buy equipment that works without band aids!

What $30 interconnect that doesn’t have a SONIC SIGNATURE? I like to try it.

You've found the HOLY GRAIL!

Wow another I can't afford it so it's no good sour grapes thread.

@joecasey The problem is that very little of that stuff is actually sold, and what is, at nowhere near the asking price.  It's not indicative of a functional marketplace.  Those cables serve other purposes for the manufacturer than to satisfy market demand. That's all from me for now.
