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.

Folks, plz stop communistic, socialistic and other mass fairness ideas... that is totally utopia and it’s already being proven by others bad experiences. All communists and socialists ending being saved and fed by capitalists. Maybe those ideas looks sweet and fair but reality is different. The idea to fight rich, to take everything and to share among everyone that exactly from what Soviet Union was started.... and where is Soviet Union now !?....at the end of their socialistic madness capitalistic countries was sending them huge donations shipments of food and second hand clothing, for people to survive. Such a shame. So, let’s better concentrate not one the prices, what is kind of personal aspect but on SQ pursuit.

surfmuzz,

You are aware that food banks and other caritative institutions exist in the current capitalist world, too? They receive huge donations shipments of food and second hand clothing, for people to survive. They have customers in their own front yard.

So, let's see if I get all this.  If we all buy expensive wires to hook up our expensive stereo systems, everyone will become a billionaire.

Or, if we do not buy them, America will become a commie (I love that word from the 1950's!) dictatorship with an authoritarian leader who lies to the people and uses our armed services to keep us all doing what he or she says.  Or ELSE!

Wow!  I guess some of us has a LOT of time on our hands these days.

Well, thanks for the entertainment...oh, wires make no difference in systems unless you are still using the 22-gauge Radio Shack spools from your college dorm Advents from 1960 that the cat has chewed on.

Cheers!
