When Acura NSX first came out, the whole world went wild and I went crazy not to mention many sleepless days and many posters on the walls. Many years later, I test drove one, and I was like, man, how disappoint! I went many sleepless nights and this is all it got? what the fuss was it all about? Ah! maybe because it was Japanese. For exotic cars, I should aim for Italian; who else could out-do the Italian?? My house was then stacked up with car magazines every where. And until many years later, someone was friendly enough to "offer" me a test drive his $180K Ferrari. (I swear he offered it, lol) Wow! this is it. This is every men's dream, right? Well, I went home disapointed with mixed feelings not because I was upset of myself can't afford one. I just tried to put myself in his shoes to see what he can benefits from spending $180K to this "magnifician" car. One biggest brand name and the most talk-about. Time has gone by and my house now is all stacking up with Hi-end Audio magazines and I read/ dream alot about high-end cables and speakers too.....
All cables have diff unique character of each and I agree that, but I think any one of them costs above $500 to $1K is too much. They obviously spent too much on R&D, and/or markupting. Opps, mispelled; it's marketing.
