Do you think reviewers should do such cables? What about $30k plus components?

I hope you are more Precise with your Listening. Anyway, just my overwhole Impression.
>>How much those cables actually cost to make?

About $300-500 max after start up phase, the rest goes to sales/marketing and some to R&D (10-15% for small companies, less than 10% for larger companies), the numbers are derived from discussions, observations and my experience in the high tech industry. So the one company that sells wires with some magnets is having a ball of their life; some overzealous commentators keep on promoting those magnets. No doubt, I know first hand how good they but we don't want fan boys only thread on the Gon, do we?

Having said that, I still buy expensive cables (yes, those too) as they take my system to a higher level but am constant lookout for cheaper alternatives and once in a while I perform an auto- sanity check.
You can listen with your own ears to these expensive cables. So you can Judge for yourself if they are worth it yes or no.

Comparing makes audio more clear and open. With this information you can make your own decision.

In my opinion over 95% of everything what is produced in audio is not worth the money. Those who sell these products which are not worth it make audio in general unreliable.

That is the main reason why we react so differently on this thread.
Bo1972...you have absolutely no idea what it takes to bring an audio product ..say an amplifier... to market. there are so many 'arm chair' quarterbacks in this hobby.
