As I look at all these posts

Elizabeth, should you start your own cable company, please let me know. I would like to purchase some of your cables.

Calloway, I don't think any one here is arguing that it is wrong to make a profit on cables. I think Mulveling says it best.

Glory,
I just thought I would put HiDiamond Cables in perspective for you since you have constantly dogged the company since day 1 but you have never owned or heard the line.
As the North American distributor we sold over 1600 HiDiamond Cables in a 1 year period and I personally have only seen 4 used cables come available. HiDiamond has 46 employees and has an actual technical process called 4VRC. The cables starts from the raw materials and combines purified cooper and Graphite. HiDiamond prefers to use XLPE rather then Teflon which helps to lower the amplitude of the sine wave which creates a more natural sound. The company is located in Anzio Rome and has been in business for 13 years.
We now sell on average 5-10 cables per day. As a distribution company I have never seen a line receive more buzz or sales then HiDiamond Cables. Not really sure where your comments come from but HiDiamond received 3 reviews this year and was at CES, Newport and TAVES?

New kid on the block LOL,lets see the ultimate one meter cable 4900.00,I can buy a used Arc ref 3 for that.
I wonder if my cat can rip these up to see whats really inside.
To me high fidelity an vd is the same nonsense.
trying to make a lot of money real fast at the expense of decent people.
Ripoff I say but some will pay,I know for a fact a few acoustic panels will outperform a interconnect or even a few ultimates,what a joke.

Big profit with wires. Relatively little needed to deliver a product. Who wouldn't want a piece of that?
