Silly prices for Nordost cables

@ghosthouse One thing about the rich is they live in a realm where normal purchases like cars and houses do not approach the ratios of cost to earnings per annum which we endure. For example, one earns $75,000 net and a car costs $25,000 - 1:3. The rich buy a car for $125,000 on earnings of $1m - 1:8. Etc.

@ebm - Rest assurred, even if I could afford them, I would not purchase them. A fool and his money are easily parted.

never had a chance to compare $38,000 speaker cables to $1000 cables in a $700,000 system...

 I have had the power cords in my system, briefly, not owned by me! They are very good! A 5 to 10% improvement overall. But ridiculously priced! 

@noromance 

Absolutely get it.  The context in which they make buying decisions is just SO different than for (us) working stiffs.  Honestly, though, I don't begrudge them any of it.  Have at it, ladies and gents.  In economics there's a concept called "the velocity of money".  If I were one of these interventionist/socialist types who think it is the role of government to eliminate economic disparity, I wouldn't pass laws about earning too much or possessing too much wealth; rather I'd want to see penalties imposed for not spending some given % of total net worth fast enough!
Just a half-baked idea that'll never come to pass...like reforming the tax code.
