TRANSPARENT CABLE VALUE

it seems that transparent cabling is very expensive from top to bottom.can any one tell me what is the most expensive part of the cable,the cable itself or the network.most cable companies talk about the materials and construction of their cables but transparent only tells you how they sound.how can they justify the cost?

Try Purist much better value

My friend sent me pics some time ago when he opened one of their expensive cables. He is in computer business and knows Belden cables very well. Guess, what he found?

I agree, the most expensive part of a cable is Marketing. I know Audiophiles who can't sleep well when they can't spend min. 8k for a meter.
