kw6So you think people with Nordost Odin II speaker cables use Bose? Have you ever considered Nordost is ICING on a cake to a fine tuned system with similar quality speakers, amps, room ...?
I want people starting out to spend the money on the speakers and room treatment. With the price of the Nordost speaker cable you can a professional to tune your room!
Silly prices for Nordost cables

$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.

This pretty much sums up this whole thread in a 30 second commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nehhH9rfnaw |
Fine musical instruments are available at every level of cost once you get beyond the cheapest ones, and they all sound different…at least pianos and guitars. Some Steinways suck, most don't, Gibson generally makes horrible sounding acoustic guitars, but they look cool so they sell…over decades of mixing live shows where primarily acoustic guitar players are featured, a Gibson is rare, although there are some great ones out there. I've known plenty of wealthy people ("wealthy" is, of course, a relative term) and they generally are too busy to really enjoy anything beyond an expensive restaurant, let alone an audio system…you think a dude running a hedge fund has time to compare cables? My fave recent comment about "rich people" was from Jay Leno at the Pebble Beach Concourse…he said, "show me a Ferrari collector who is still with his first wife." I like great sounding relatively cost effective gear, but then I have time to listen to it. |
