Why pay so much?


If you want to think cables make a huge difference in sound fine...but why pay up to $70,000 for speaker wire?

You can buy 38 lbs of 99.99% bullion silver for $10,000 or 4000 lbs of 99.99% bullion copper.

Buying a pair of 12 foot $5,000 wire is obserd it costs like $30 to make and WBT connectors are also highly inexpensive to make too.

Why do you guys shell out money on a clear fact that you guys are insecure about using low priced stuff and these people know that and take advantage of that.

How do you guys let yourself taken advantage of?

Why does it matter to anyone, that expensive stuff exists? Cheap stuff does also. YOu have no need to buy expensive stuff unless you want to. So why care???"

It is because there are people who lack the skills, education, and experience to earn, acquire, and develop the wealth aka "expendable income" to purchase these products and so they have a need to criticize, attack, and insult that from which they feel they have been denied or excluded and they think they're values, standards, and preferences should be accepted, adopted, and embraced by all it is a very self centered, self absorbed, self righteous perception they have on many things.
From a purely economic standpoint it is great to see someone spend $70K on cables. That $70K is not sitting in a bank but distributed into the economy were it can be spent many more times over and do a lot of good. I know the bank can invest that $70K but I see the economic benefits as being greater when people spend.


let me get this straight; I work and therefore earn my income and don't have the intelligence, wherewithal to purchase whatever it is I want, audio or otherwise?  Some would argue, a "zip cord" used for audio (speaker cables) would be a waste.
