It’s this or a bottle of 1947 Cheval-Blanc…tossup.
It would be best to listen to the cables and taste the wine before deciding…but that’s not going to happen.
Could these be your next cable loom??...and price be damned.
On the Stereophile web page, there is a report of the Estelon room at Axpona, along with the $330k cables from Crystal Cables, called the Art series. One poster states that Gabi ( one of the Crystal Cable owners) knows what she is doing when it comes to pricing strategy.
I thought this thread could piggy back my question on the Speaker forum and ask a similar question here, will sales accrue for her $330K cables, or is it possible that she over stepped...and no sales will actually occur? If Gabi knows her market ( and who are we to say she does not), i question how she has this knowledge...so that she does NOT price her new Crystal Cable Art cables at say $3 Million and instead hits the sweet spot at $330k??? Anyone?

Cables (or anything else for that matter) at this price point are not for everyone, in fact for very very few people. So if you have to question the price and make idiotic comments on this post, then you clearly cant afford them - but in truth secretly want to. Move on, get a grip, lets talk about gear that exists for us in the real world. |
@cominatchya I posted this on the similar thread that I started on the speaker forum: Part of my OP came from a recent discussion that I had with a very very well heeled friend who can easily afford anything in high end audio. To this gent, a multi million dollar system is no strain on the pocketbook. What interested me was his comment that he will not spend any money on a product that he sees as having a minimum value to cost ratio. We discussed several speakers ( not Rockport’s, and certainly not the Orion), but others that we all know and would respect, but few here can acquire. My friend commented that one of the reasons he is able to actually afford all of these products is also because he has the discriminatory ability to not get ’taken’, as he put it. Just to add another perspective to the narrative here. Don’t get me wrong, this gent has a system that most would envy, but it has been put together with some considerable thought, and he always bought used or at a considerable discount, as far as I know.
The same thing applies to cables. Nothing to do with affordability. Simply to do with price to desirability and buyer's acceptance of said pricing. |
