I think some cables are just a little too expensive.


A while back a shop I did business with carried Transparent Audio Cables. They were so expensive it was obscene. They did sound good, but you had to move up from the bottom to the more idiotically pricey models to start to feel the magic. It had been several years ago and I wanted to check in on my old friends at Transparent Audio. This is their top of the line speaker cable. Now if you don't have a problem with this whole cable thing, this might push you over the edge. I can't imagine a speaker that would need such a cable. Wilson? Rockport? What amp? You can buy a nice luxury vehicle for the same price as a pair of speaker cables? Nelson Pass would be embarrassed to see these monstrosities on one of his amplifiers.

Transparent makes some very good low cost cables...and yes, if you have a 7 figure system in a custom room, no budget restraints, top of the line Transparents might be a perfect match...
Am I the only one that thinks it looks like a snake that swallowed a broiled chicken?
Almost.  Looks more like a snake that swallowed a stealth sports car.  Maybe that accounts for 60K of production cost!
