Ask the local curmudgeon (me) anything related to tech or liquor. :)

Tech: Why don’t my $500 speaker cables sound 500 times better than lamp cord?

Liquor: Why the hell does $500 whisky taste 500 times better than lampcord-priced whisky?

"Why don’t my $500 speaker cables sound 500 times better than lamp cord?"

Who can say? For all we know you might have $500 lamp cords. And trust me, if you don't, you should. It makes all the difference in the world.

"Why the hell does $500 whisky taste 500 times better than lampcord-priced whisky?"

Again, it depends on the lamp cord price. $500 whiskey should not taste any better than $500 lamp-cord-priced whiskey.

You've got to give Erik more to work with here.

Sir, this is Audiogon. Clearly the only solution left for you is to go to read a dozen blender reviews, then go to the Williams Sonoma website, ask a hundred questions about blenders and drinks, and then order whatever you wanted to buy in the first place.

Cooks Country rated the Breville blender as the best. And much better than the more expensive Ninja and VitaMix blenders. Waring was always considered the best blenders for years and probably still are, at least in terms of build quality and consistency. But they always used to be super expensive and not to have many features. I used to see them in labs that only had one speed. Can't say what they're like now or how much they cost.

I can tell you that the average low cost blenders you get these days will hardly mix much less blend.
