Cable Thread!!!!!!!!!!

[thebes]

More like a commentary on the state of audio.  You have your cheapos, your mainstream, which is mostly great stuff, and then onto higher end, which used to be a bit more discerning.

 

However, small production by scumbag exploiters have really taken over the whole audiophile market.  They don't even pretend to be serving the customer, or striving for better sound anymore. It's how bad can you rape the customer, and pretending  your are bringing them to a new state of ecstasy.

 

Case in point, my local high end retailer. He's holding a sale on some cables. Remind me to puke when I get over laughing at the absurdity of it all:

I drank snake oil, or wine or fire water, maybe snake brandy in Vietnam... don’t need to buy it in acoustics cable form.
