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.
What kind of person decides to get into the cable maker market? Talentless engineer who couldn’t make it doing tube amps? Marketing guru? Cult leader? Psychopaths? All of the above and worse?
