$10k Speaker Cables??????????????

Goodie for you, n80. I was in procurement and budget too, including a $3B procurement. I was talking specifically about super high-price items like the $100,000 toilet and $1K hammer someone mentioned, that’s alwaysed used as some sort of example to prove cables are a ripoff. Everybody knows the government pays too much for everything. Duh! Getting back to the subject if someone doesn’t like the cost of some high end cables buy used or buy within your budget. It’s not rocket science. 🚀

how about Nbs III S speaker cables 12ft $30k

You got that right. But there is money to be made in convincing people that it is, right Geoff?

Will Siltech cable sound hundred times better than Anticable?

Probably not.

I had been happily using Audio Note speaker cables for 18 years which I had paid 2,500$ for 6 ft pair.

Some cable could be better than Audio Note in dynamics and details, but not in overall nuanced musicality.

Uh, no one is suggesting a thing that is say, 10 times more expensive than something else is 10 times better. A car, a watch, a TV, an amplifier, speakers, or cables. But I would suggest the curve of price vs performance does not flatten out nearly as quickly as some people say it does. You might have to pay 3 times more to get 2 x performance, that would not surprise me. It depends on many, many factors.
