Default You know you're poor when........

Yea, when you see this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Siltech-Ruby-Mou...QQcmdZViewItem
Siltech power cord.
You can buy it now for the low low price, of just 4,319.00$us.

This reminds me of something a Siltec rep once said, and it went something like:
"it's not much harder to sell someone a 5000$ cable than it is to sell someone a 100$ cable. I'de much rather sell the 5000$ cable."

Ha, at that price we should all buy a few!


Please tell me i'm not the only one who feels sick looking at that.

I dunno.
For me it's way easier to resist buying a $5000 cable.
I mean, I'm an idiot and therefore I've bought $$$ cables (ICs) in the past, but I'm no complete idiot.

Please tell me i'm not the only one who feels sick looking at that
I feel contrary about it.
If someone is rich and buys $4000 power cords he doesn't deserve to be rich and it's totally O.K. that someone else gets his money.

Nordost Valhalla power cord ($3000) is better because you can cut out the conductors from it and feed more components with the Valhalla flavor. You can also cut it shorter which means that you only need 1 Valhalla for the entire system.






I also cut the interconnect, a pair isn't needed then.

Patrick. Perhaps you should use a Valhalla power cable on your fridge?
I bet it would run smoother and keep your ketchup in "perfect" condition.

lol, I was thinking the exact same thing.

But seriously, a 4k power cable?
You could build a whole top end rig for that, for us mere mortals at least.

I honestly thought that picture was showing a fridge ran off a Valhalla cable! Look at the light, its so bright!

I hope you've got cable elevators.
