You've clearly never encountered high-end audio/video cable prices: How about a 2 meter component video cable for $695? http://www.audioadvisor.com/product.cfm?productid=3634 How about a pair of 8 foot speaker cables for $2,000? http://www.audioadvisor.com/product.cfm?productid=2868 How about an 8 foot 3-prong power cord for $520? http://www.audioadvisor.com/product.cfm?productid=1292 Paying these prices for cables is pretty silly in my opinion but many people believe they can perceive a difference (but inevitably fail double-blind tests). If you're going to buy a pair of $24,000 speakers (I listened to a pair this past weekend), you'd probably have no qualms laying out at least a couple thounsand for your interconnects and speaker cable. -- Jason Kau Georgia Tech Research Institute jason.kau@gtri.gatech.edu
