Peeps are getting mugged on here! 2000%+ for shielding... Come on!
Out of proportion and control.
A market only exists if you buy into it. I have the PW Audio No10 is entry level granted (it does sound quite good IMO) I needed a 2.5 balanced + this arrived this morning with no burn in, a 1/3 of the price of No10 and is superior across the board already.
Something ain’t right here.

When you get into high end daps and amplifiers, etc. The high-end differences become noticable with cables and tips etc.

I get all of that, cheers. I just think this is all getting totally out of control. If this NiceHCK cable is ‘theoretically’ 7N Up-Occ copper, surely Mr.Wong’s shielding cannot justify over 2000% mark up?
Just my viewpoint. I think people should & can do what they want with their hard earn cash but my point is ‘really?’
He really is taking the ‘P’ out of people to hike up what was already outrageous and beyond rationale. Maybe he has bought all of Cardas’s copper reserves out and put his 500% on.
Just my 2,000,000,000,000 cents!
Looking at the rough translation on that Facebook link posted above, it looks as though the price hike is due to supply shortages and that particular dealer will only receive 2 Orpheus units a month.
I’ve been told that they sell quite well in the Asian markets. Perhaps Peter had to do this to slow the demand

Something may be pushing the price up with all the shortages, but still, seems like a market bearing test to me. How many oil baron's are there on head fi anyway? Cardas wire was never really that expensive on its own. But maybe PW have a closet of 25 year+ aged copper that has that spectacular bass extension we crave?
Oh, I agree.
you crazy!

I didn't plan to buy or even listen to the orphy.
But nearly immediately after hearing it, I knew I was in trouble.

...and so the justification/convincing oneself starts.
This here lies the problem all over threads on H-fi like Crck Ccain whether it’s a new stratos inflated priced Dap/Iem or wire and where Mr.Wong/Ak etc etc rub their hands together!
Of course there are people one can see to talk about it, cos you wouldn’t dare tell the wife or your mates ‘REALLY’ what this $#%T costs...
Let’s face it.
Good luck boys!

Me and my German friend talk all the time about how we seriously have an addiction. Just last night I bought the LCD-2C just because I needed a fix...

Lol... F Yeah! Isn’t the th900 actually better though? Choice of colours too!Me and my German friend talk all the time about how we seriously have an addiction. Just last night I bought the LCD-2C just because I needed a fix...
It’s all relative I guess but fundamentally exactly the same. There could be worse addictions/roads to go down-just the insane prices in ‘Head’ Fi!
Look how reasonable(ish) 2 Channel audio is comparatively- Does not make sense in terms of quantity. I do not buy into the ‘Nano’ argument either.
Hey... I’ve got a spare kidney you can borrow. I can get a repro tofu one ‘exactly the same just 3D printed’ on AliExpress for five dolla!
