The $500 CAT5 cable - Page 2 - SV650.org

extra 0.5m par £1,250??

Bargain, I'll have half a dozen

How about speaker cable at $7250 for 12 feet.

So $14,500 for a single set up!

James Randi has offered $1 million to the company if they can hear the difference in a blind test.

Surprisingly they haven't taken it up

Yes although the Phono Cable is ridiculous the funniest is the £2.5 kettle lead which is meant to deliver better sound quality and all that jargon because it delivers the power through High-End cable!!
Mmmmmm so what about the hundreds of miles it has travelled using the national grid cables!!!
There are actually people out there that believe that the slots on the screws inside the plug that hold the live and the neutral should be perpendicular to the earth screw and that will improve 'Sonic Performance and Enhance Sound Scape'

Decent sound systems and speakers do make a difference. But there's definitely a ceiling to it.

I'm happy with my Arcam set up

Of course decent sound systems and speakers make a difference. Thats the whole point, they are the difference. Gold Plated mains plug pins however don't

for some reason the thought that sprang into my head then was

'I'd rather have a singing bog seat from Honest Freddy for a tenner'

Think I've eaten too much carrot cake
