Re: If you honestly wanted to know,you could have read the Audioholics cable articles

"So unless the manufactuer can come up with a readily understandable reason why his cable should considerably "sound" better than another piece of wire, and somehow justify why it's worth $500 or more for an 8 foot, you end up with an 8 foot section of wires that now costs you $500 or MORE! "

See:
The Cost of High End Audio Cables:

It is somewhat surprising for a lot of folks to see what it costs to stay in bussiness.

It also helps to realize that those $19.99 Rat Shack or Target cables actually only have a dollars worth of materials in them, or less.

BTW, Belden 89259 now costs around $1.70 a foot in small quantities, and around $1.50 a foot in larger quantities. Back when I wrote the post, it was around $1 a foot for larger quantities.

So multiply all the figures in the post by 1.5X to arrive at a more modern pricing structure.
