Has anyone heard these $169,000 speaker cables?

[Daroid]

Naaa... i thought it looked more like a nicotine colored tortoise

Only $16,9k? Sorry, that is just too cheap to be any good, i'm off to buy a Monster cable now (j/k of course)...

Look what good marketing is:

FOR SALE:

Ipod: $300
Ipod earbuds, recabled with transparent Opus cable (headphones version), with middle glob in iPod white: $14999 (special discount)

For a small additional fee of $299 you can request the middle white glob of the cable to come in the shape of a diplodocus, a turtle, a backpack, whatever you like.

There is a miniature version of the special circuitry encased in the glob, that still preserves all the sound transparency qualities of this cable. But this special miniaturization comes at a price of an extra $999. If you so prefer, with this extra fee you can have the cables with the miniature version embedded in the cable jacket, basically no glob in the middle, for added portability.

If someone has these cables they have to be overcompensating for something.

Yeah, his wife won't let him buy a Ferrari Testarossa. Of course the car would probably be overcompensation for something else his wife won't let him do...
