Putting an end to the audio cable debate! Part 1

"Marketing is everything!"

I disagree. 
You have to make a product that actually works, or you're going to go out of business pretty quickly.

Marketing certainly brings awareness to your name, though, so it no doubt increases sales.

I have read a lot about this and no matter what side tells the story I still cannot wrap my head around a $15,000 patch cord. A simple RCA connection between the preamp and amp will cost $30,000? I want to meet the person who can hear an audible difference between a $15K and $5K patch cord. I will buy that person dinner. But they have to prove it first. 

All cables work. The real work begins when  justifying the cost, either by the producer or the buyer. 
As a caveat I believe in spending money on cables that approximates the cost of your system. Lamp cord to a Magico works but I would not suggest such an approach.

I find that Pangea Digital and analog cables punch Way above their price point. Smooth...airy....and definition all for alot less than the ridicilous prices on some of the supposedly High End Cables.

The debate ended for me 35 years ago when I swapped a digital cable and my system sound changed so much it was as if someone had brought in two new and significantly better components. Since then I just don’t understand the discussion. It’s up there with: Is the Earth flat, freezing temperature of water, and gravity.
