Transparent cables Recalibration prices out of this world

If you are not the original owner, prepared your wallet because depending on the model do you have it they charge up to $1,200.00 plus shipping cost both ways just to be recalibrated. I understand they have to charge it but boy  $1.200.00 it's insane.

Transparent cables were always a ripoff this is just a bigger one.There are many cables that are much better at a better price such as Purist.I had 6.5 meter cable re terminated to balanced for $300.00 and it was done pretty quick.

What is a rip-off is that they claim to "calibrate" a cable but will do it without your amplifier, or your speaker.

I had my old Zu speaker cables cables reterminated at the astronomical price of $10/connection. And they paid for the shipping back to me. It took less than a week.

All the best,

And I thought Nordost Odin pricing is ridiculous! At least they look the part. I feel guilty enough using speaker cables that retail over 4 digits.

These things look like DIY projects.

Probably not the best match for a White Van MKIII floorstander? Oh wait...I forgot they can "calibrate" them .


There is something for every audiophool  out there. I would be embarrassed to tell someone how much I paid for those cables.
