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?

The problem is that components with no scientific or engineering explanation are being sold for enormous sums of money to people who do not understand the need for proper listening tests.

Personally, I have wrapped all my ferro-fluid pressurized cables in the special maple tubular veneers sold by mapleshady and it makes an incredible difference as long as I look at the wood grain.  When I close my eyes the effect disappears.

Another troll.  If you cannot tell the difference just say it - no need to be defensive about it.  Not everybody is equipped with the same hearing ability.

Another troll trait, if I can be so bold, is the use of a moniker that appears absolutely legit, as if the troll really is an audio nut or audio insider. You know, a moniker like say audiopro, hififreak or....funaudiofun

Roughly true, but the issue is not whether you hear a difference, it is whether you think you hear a difference when you really are a victim of confirmation bias.

Assuming the OP is really a troll, he is making fun of such victims.
