Wow, $10k+ cables

CERN cabling - maybe nothing special after all...except for shielding.

I'm not a cable denier.  I've heard quite amazing differences in imaging from interconnects.  Not so much from power cords, still I can't say they don't exist.

Every time a thread like this shows up I can't help but think what type of cabling is used at CERN.  They are dealing with the nearly infinitesimally
small.  One would think only the best cables (wiring) would do.

Oh my, look at all those cables:

When I get a "roundtuit" I'll check it out and report back.

ebm might be right. Best value Purist Audio cable is Neptune, $1900 retail for 1M pair RCA. You can never find used Neptune.
Anyway, that's wild capitalism, you charge as much as you can, maximize profit before other considerations. At least no one forces anyone to buy expensive cables, that's good.

Two questions: can you really hear a positive difference in your system from it and can you afford it? If your answer to both are firm yesses, then enjoy it. If you "think you might hear something different" and your credit cars are close to being maxed, you might wanna take a step back....

Jump on Purist and save big cash ASAP.

Anybody that pays that much or even more for any kind of cable whether it's speaker interconnect power cord is a real sucker and there's one born everyday so I guess if you got lots of money you can be stupid. But I think OCC single crystal wire is the best wire on the market and it doesn't cost anywhere near that much

I just made a ton on GameStop. Think I will test out some Uber high end purist ic’s and pc’s. Can’t wait. I’ll let you know how they sound. 

Millercarbon,  perfect!  lol

I went from Pangea to Custom to AQ Blizzard Extreme and a huge difference plus well under 1K in price, even AQ NRG are decent powercords at their price point. I have a friend with a $28K AQ Dragonfly powercord in a single cable. Now if I can get rid of the very low hum these beasts have created.......

miller, Listen fat, $10k cables are not a one horse pony. They will make the hair on your legs come back up. 

Easier to change the capacitors and resistors than a power cable.  Plus when you change a component the sound you dialed in works in your system rather than finding another power cable that works when you change components - plus a lot cheaper!

Happy Listening

I am afraid that would not be enough to get the very best. More like $15k.

I would think the 10K+ power cords will sound fantastic in a system  that is worth $300,000 or more. 

The OP is on to something here....

I would use $9,999.99 cables on my "Statement" grade boxes.
More bang for your buck than the $10K offerings.

Attacking others asking questions does nothing to support the case for any particular wire expensive or otherwise. Fact is it hurts it if anything.  If one thinks a particular product is worth it just state the case.  Avoid generalizations.   The merits of one product has nothing to do with another at any price. 

Or at least use an apostrophe in c’mon.
Anyway, what is the point of the thread? Every audio enthusiast has been well aware for a long time that there are cables in and above that price range. So what?

I’ve always thought the point of threads like this is three-fold. First, as always, to virtue-signal. It is a way of saying, "Hey look! I’m not one of these dumb schlubs sucking snake oil!"

Second, since all experienced audiophiles understand the value of quality these posts serve to distinguish the noobs and wanna-bees from the real deal.

Third and finally, we get to point out just how valuable the wire (amp, speaker, tweak, fill in the blank) is to real bona-fide honest to God audiophiles. Ones who can, you know, hear and appreciate the difference. 

Sometimes (not often) they learn the error of their ways, make amends, drop the attitude and learn something new. I know. Don’t happen often. Not holding my breath. But you never know....

Wires and accessories has always been the high profit items in hifi.  That $20 roll of 12 gauge speaker wire you used to buy at radio shack was mostly all profit.   Very little on electronics.  So figure it out. 

Or at least use an apostrophe in c'mon.
Anyway, what is the point of the thread? Every audio enthusiast has been well aware for a long time that there are cables in and above that price range. So what? Buy them or ignore them. It's certainly not today's news.
