All this talk of equilibrium is making me dizzy.

For example, say I bought $80,000 speakers and a $40,000 amp. At that point, if I am a cable believer, $20,000 cables may seem reasonable. But given the cost to manufacture, they are most likely not. |

If they both sound exactly the same and the $700 cable just has a great marketing scheme, then it is a rip off and people around here would eventually sound the alarm. If everybody who listens to it says WOW I cant believe the difference, then it might be worth looking into. It all comes down to musicality is in the ear of the beholder and how tick his wallet may be. |
