Silly prices for Nordost cables


http://www.nordost.com/images/review-images/review-pdf/127555.pdf

$38000 for a 2m pair?
$17000 for a 1.5m power cord?
$20000 interconnect for 0.6 meters and only(!) $2000 for an additional 0.5 meter?

I know the debate is tired but this is beyond ridiculous.

I recommend Canare Star Quad wire with XLR interconnects.

It is not widely understood but all the supposed wire problems/effects are actually because of poor equipment design, poor setup, incompatibility and malfunctioning gear. Properly designed and well built and correctly configured audio equipment does not need any special wires to sound perfect.

If you find audio cables are making improvements then it is time to change components to something that works without band aids or additional filters. Buying a good active EQ makes more sense than trying to change your sound with unusual wires that are intentionally designed to act as a filter to the signal.

@mr_mย , judging a common sense, why not? Nordost in general is just another type of fake.
Very few of the new Lamborghini Aventurado at $425K are sold, either. ๐Ÿ˜„ ๐Ÿ˜„
Actually demand was too high and donโ€™t want one every block so Lambo and Ferrari raised prices to control/limit demand.

@shadorne everything has a sonic signature and band aid. The trick is getting all the band aids working together.

>>>>Yeah, right.

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! ย Nordost cables are starting to look like a bargain. Everything is relative. - Einstein
