Duelund CAST silver a $50,000 Upgrade?

Duelund CAST silver Capicitor upgrade 50K??
I've ordered some speakers and asked about upgrading to Deulund's silver foil CAST capacitor and inductor a listed option on my speaker. dc10audio got back to me with 50K $50,000.00 dollars extra over the copper that's already included in my speaker!!

How the hell is that even possible?? And if I could and I can't afford the extra would it be worth it? Am I going to see Jesus with the silver or what?

"Sounds like they just pulled the number out of their rear to make it go away.”

Germanboxers, that is a very reasonable proposition that’s contradicted by this:

Phaelon - it does appear from that ad that I may be mistaken, but I can't help but think there is something else to this...sanity for one.

Why are you people so paranoid? Is it because audiogon is exclusively a vendor's forum?
I am not mountain high..besides, who cares anyway and I'm not bashing dc10 I'm a customer. The only bashing I've seen was from vapor1 perhaps he is mountain high?

Berkely did purchase the speaker. Questioning the substantial premium for the Duelund silver CAST upgrade is not bashing in my opinion.

Thanks Charles!

I'm fine with my choice and know the copper foil represents the state-of-the-art my only wish is that Duelund in Denmark take a look at their pricing and make the CAST silver foil a viable option for people.

Berk, I think J_fav was bashing DC10 audio about Chinese drivers or something but would't doubt it's the same camp. One hit, two hit wonders with zero feedback or no longer registered users are suspect of other mfgr's either cheerleading or bashing another brand. You are dead on with your bashing comment but I think that was towards Evolution Acoustics. Still a vendor bashing another vendor.
