Are interconnect cables worth $15,000?

How can you leave Purist Audio Design and Virtual Dynamics of the list. Purist Audio Aesthetix Umbilical power cord at 12,000 retail or the Anniversary speaker at 17,000 retail.
Virtual dynamics Genesis Speaker at 17,340 retail or Genesis 1.1 RCA Interconnects 11,560. :0
I do believe you can get free shipping though so that's a plus :) and there are many more out there.LOL

Oh, did you say free ship??!! Outta my way pilgrim; Kan't wait to spend 17k a meter !!! In my vernacuar most systems would benifit more; if that kind of dough were to be spent on a better source/pre/ amp/or speakers-- unless you already have a 150k system and are using monster cables??????--However it seems business is brisk in the multi-thou. cable business. I was hoping I could use my first-borne as a trade. (I'll check w/ Rick)

Are they worth it? Sure they are if you were Steve Jobs and you wanted peace in mind knowing that no one can criticize you for not spending enough in interconnects.

$150K system !?!?!?!

For me to 'justify' spending $15K for speaker cables, my system would have to be at least $500K.

My current system is around $50K, give or take, and I'm using $300 speaker cables. Good enough for me.

I believe that 99% of all systems will benefit more from a $15,000 component upgrade than a $15,000 interconnect.
