Why pay so much?


If you want to think cables make a huge difference in sound fine...but why pay up to $70,000 for speaker wire?

You can buy 38 lbs of 99.99% bullion silver for $10,000 or 4000 lbs of 99.99% bullion copper.

Buying a pair of 12 foot $5,000 wire is obserd it costs like $30 to make and WBT connectors are also highly inexpensive to make too.

Why do you guys shell out money on a clear fact that you guys are insecure about using low priced stuff and these people know that and take advantage of that.

How do you guys let yourself taken advantage of?

I was about to makea new topic dealing with this idea of spending$$$$$$$ on supposedly *new super high tech pure blahblahblah~~~ speaker/cable connects...I see funaudio has stated his idea very clean and has cleanly exposed the fraud. which brings me to My latest researchm,,as you guys know i try to be on
~~~The Cutting edge~~~ of all tweaks/mods..my mother was german, my great great great grandfather  was Horace Bushnell, america's greatest thinker,,and so i have  this knack at looking at all angles, figuring out what is best of the best. Here goes what i just discovered this morning,,so it is indeed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~BREAKING NEWS FLASH~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pure 100% copper RCA male and RCA female jack ends can be purchased off ebay. 
Thats step one in my $100 connects that will blow away any and every $50,000 interconnects in a  shootout,  ,.OK you have the RCA connects, now purcahse STERLING SILVER  (a  cheaper route vs pure silver) say 1.5mm thickness half round (1/2 round is cheaper vs round) connect the 1.5 MM 1/2 round sterling silver to each male rca connect,,,now replace your 2 cent RCA gold color stereo female jack plug with PURE COPPER RCA female jack,,,yeah look at your $50K amp, jadis, Mac, Krell etc ARC, etc etc ETC,,all have those 2 cent gold color trash jacks, including Jadis's 500 monos which are $50K + retail...ohh Jadis how could you..
Now  for speaker wire, use same sterling silver, 1.5 MM thickness or wrap 2 strands together for extra transition of electron flow. 
There you have it,,,all can be done for under $500 and can shoot out any and all super high end cables/speaker wires in a  NY minute.  Now i need to figure if the 1/2 round is like a  1/5MM cut in half,,maybe better spend tyhe extra few bucks and get the FULL ROUND, = more condunctance. 
The Tweak Guy
who won;t lead you astray. 

although silver possess onlya  small % greater conductivity vs copper, note the section under COMPLEX RESISTIVITY and CONDUCTIVITY,, scroll down you will see the section,,note the word SUSCEPTIVITY

Note the word SIEMENS, that is a key word here, although silver vs copper are very close,,my guess is what is the nature of the electron flow inside silver vs copper,,,My guess is the SIEMENS inside the silver flow are more happy = more zing,,,to the electrons vs the electrons inside the copper flow. 
Remember there is a socalled ~~~Imaginay~~~ nature to electrical conductivity,,called SIEMENS,,,very hard to measure,,,which is why i prefer silver sterling as my prefered choice vs copper cables/wires. 
You can make your own $50,000 cables/speaker wires for under $500 fora  complete system, 3 pairs interconnects, 6 ft biwire silver speaker wires, all under $500, vs the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ snakeoil brands.
You see unlike many posts here which are ~~just sayin~~~ I am trying to bring real science into the equation, 
I sure can not pass a  electrical enginner exam,,but i can read and figure out some of the gist,,,gist is, silver is just a  bit superior to pure copper in REAL terms,,but there is a  ~~~imaginary construct~~~ called SIEMENS,,which is hard, if not impossible to measure,,Now grant it,,I have no silver yet in my system,,its all on order from ebay. 
In 3 weeks I will have silver going on, and will report back , honestly/fairly/whats going on...The  testing A/B copper to silver may take some months,,but i will have at least a  prliminary report on the ~~~Zing factor~~~ with Silver. 
I have 1/2 round sterling silver 20 ft piece,,that will go for the top MT section of my Thor MTM,,the lower midbass will have copper, as that midbass lower FQ's will not benifit much from silver. 
I am asking the ebay seller about the square and full round,,perhaps I should have purchased the square or full round for interconnects/speaker wires,,the pure copper RCA females are on the way,,the male RCA ends i am @ $32 each,,i have in wish cart as my mod budget is blown sky high at the moment,,,don't have a money tree in my backyard....,,all these pure copper/sterling silver mods are in the making,,and will take 3 months to purcahse, build/complete testing. 
My test results will not be biased not fraudlent, = No snakeoil from this audio review guy, ~~ just straight shooting, honest draw on the gun. 
As I say i have so many mods going on, new M silver/gold supremes, silver gold, silver oil, etc Mundorfs,,+ new opamps for CD17 cayin,,,IOW I have to place the silver wires 1st inn system before new opamps and new caps. After I hear silver,,then i change caps,, after i listen critical,,then i change the caps,,, and so on, so forth,,this way i can determine which mod has made more SIEMES come aline in the system. 
Siemens to me is the smallest unit , which has both a  real anda  imaginary quality of transference. Its this imaginary of ~~ zing~~ element which i  think, by imploying Silver,  will make alive the higher fq's in our systems.

It will be dif to make my mod reviews solid, as refering to the idea ~~all things being equal~~~, hopefully i can determine which is snakeoil and which produced more ~~Siemens~~ or as i call it ~~Silver Zing  Factor~~ aka SZF
