RE: Why are Siltech cables sooooo expensive?

It cost a lot due to good marketing. We value what we perceive to be worth the money spent. You could make a beautifully built cable, with the best fittings and trim and charge $24,000 and if marketed correctly to those who could afford them they be worth the $$$$.

Sonically our they worth it that type of money no and I have spend some serious money on cables after a certain point your splitting hairs or really your idea of what you like to hear.

Your passing a signal no more or less, I know design can make a difference, but once done right then what? Change the name, change the fittings, use more expensive parts to justify cost, but will they sound better?

I had one power cord that I tripped on and the end pulled loose at the male plug, so I had to take the plug off and when I looked at the cable was just good copper, not much to look at to be honest, this power cord cost $600.00.

So I know what your friend means when he said cheap wire, the most expensive part of that power cords was the end connectors which were Wattgates.
