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 think many audio manufacturers make cost-no-object products. I think for them, they like to see what they can make with no restrictions. BUT they would be the first to tell you the products they make that are more modest in price are what keeps them in business. If Wilson only made their WAMM loudspeaker(650k), I wonder how long they would stay in business? Just my opinion....

And here I was thinking this was an audio forum.

If the manufacturers convince us that someone is actually buying this stuff then they can convince the average consumer that $500 to $1000 for speaker cables is inexpensive. I have to say that their marketing is working. I have spent more on my system in the last couple years than i ever believed would happen.  I haven't bought in on most of the tweaks though.

Simple solution, trust YOUR ear! 

If from marketing, blame but yourself.   Company is not forcing you to buy anything.
