To hell with the others, make yourself not unhappy first.

My wife is blind in both eyes. I told her she picked out the expensive cable 5 of 5 times and since its a valid double blind test we had to purchase the expensive (looking / no pun) cable.

I don’t know if I feel sorry for her, or you. 

"...it was turning threads into a travesty."

I do agree.

On the other hand some would say that the thread discussing $10 000 speaker cables is travesty in the first place. Just ask anyone. Anyone outside this thread, that is.
