If you can hear the diff, and like it enough to pay for it, the whatever gizmo is worth what you paid for it. No more or less. To you. Period.
The main issue I have now, is I can’t see well enough to make a clean get away from amajor heist, and I’m getting too old to risk selling a kidney. Or I’d have much more expensive gear.
And, I’d tell everybody!! Provided I had enough weapons, security, and insurance.
I heard a while back, “it is better to have the whole world think you a fool, than for you to prove it by opening your mouth and telling your friends how much you paid for your cables.”
This is of course if your cable inventory exceeds $25K. At less than $5 or $10K, I’d risk it.
Let’s face it, even discussing costs on hardware, and even speakers can easily make folks mouths open quickly and eyes roll. Many of which often reply, “what are you trying to do, get enough volume they can hear you in the next county?””
… which is as well, just as stunning IMO. No? try explaining you aren’t seeking volume but quality of sound. Their eyes still roll and the conversation dies with someone saying, My, look at the time! Or Is that Elvis?
My favorite response is when people see a tube amp and ask, “so, you are into antiques, huh?”
I’ve learned my lessons talking prices of anything to anyone… not as afflicted. Mostly.
Perhaps the worst response comes from other audio nervosa eletists which after hearing what your rig consitsts of reply “and that xyz cable is all you put on that yada yada thingy”?” or worse, intimate obvious disdain.
Sometimes ya can’t win for losing.
Were I super rich In fact, it would be Odin’s for all!!
Maybe.
