Silly prices for Nordost cables

@barto. Indeed. The public are responsible for falling for marketing lies both in cables and in politics.

If popes are making money on those foolish 'believers' from the walls of their churches to the point of building mansions and purchasing super cars, i would also call them smart, but...

the actual cure to this and other typical nonsense and legalized rip-offs is education that somehow in catastrophic lack of truth.

There also plenty of automotive shops that will gladly replace your Honda Accord or similar class vehicle pair of breaks for $800 and foolish would believe it's necessary and right to replace at the same time rotors and calipers to get '5 year hassle free replacement plan'.

One way or the other, I know they're all trying to 'stick it' and they know where.

Anyways, to debunk I always use just basic math. Basic and elementary math is sufficient enough to realize size of effort and value of raw materials to build Gibson SG vs. Nordost Odin or whatever. No need to know physics or electronics. 

From 'believer's' stand point, I'd simply say that pro-audio hook-up wires had been used to record tunes you're listening and are perfectly great for home-audio applications as 'reference' wires so reviews, legends and marketing descriptions can be easily ignored and dropped into the trash bin.

Perhaps these NordOst wires are designed for folks that don't know or didn't learn how to compare throughout all time spent at useless schools. 

I see TAS used Odin 2 in review of new $695,000 Wilson speakers...

If you reduced the Hubble telescope to it’s raw costs in elements (trace percentage analysis), it’s probably not over $100k in value, most likely no more than $20k. Probably even less.

The given $1.2M Lamborghini is worse..probably not worth more than $3-5kus in elemental trace analysis.

Arranging the atoms makes all the difference.

Those Nordost meanies!

Lets get ’em!

No wait! ...Arrrggh!...

Class envy is such a waste of time.  Comparing cable manufacturers to religion is pretty rich, since the deniers tend to be on crusades as they try to stamp out any belief in cable performance in thread after thread.  

Can't we all just get along?  Can't we live and let live?  If some companies are catering to the wealthy, why does that surprise anyone?  I'm pretty sure that not one single person here has actually tried these $35,000 Nordost cables.
