Hey, it's "works" for the audiophile industry! /s

Oh gods does it!

Just for the shock value that they exist and that someone is paying these prices.

Audioquest: 8 feet of speaker cable for $8,450

Pear Cable: 12 feet for $7,250

Here's 3 meters for $12,700

A voltage stabilizer for $11,500 (what is that?)

A turntable cartridge for $20,000

And here's the winner: 8 ft of speaker cable for $39,999

You can't make this stuff up

Monster continues to charge up towards $100

Actually they aren't the biggest thieves, how about $5900 for 1m of low-bandwidth data cable? It puzzles me somewhat that no one has sued the so called high-end audio cable industry for fraud and false advertising.

One thing that really puzzles me is how the shift toward digital signals hasn't changed anything at all.

One should think that the advent of the PC would have made people more tech savy, realizing that cheap hardware will do the job just fine, but apparently you can still find someone willing to pay $5900 for 1m low-bandwidth data cable.

Perhaps it's the same fool who'd already bought the $4600 power cable.

Those plastic pieces of junk? Are you kidding? A real audiophile would prefer these at mere $865 a pair. They're made out of a special, high-tech, low dielectric material called "wood"
