New $24,000 inter-connect

I had trouble justifying the interconnects I have now. 
A pair of 0.5m Audience AU24SX (ended up costing US$850).

That was difficult enough convincing my wife how good of a bargain it was.

Those interconnects are built in gravity free space so that all the molecules are arranged perfectly.  It includes the cost of the space shuttle launch and all the labor costs of manufacturing in earth's orbit.  Very cheap in my opinion :-)

Proof (in case anyone needed it) that some audiophiles are complete fools. Even if you have the money hundreds or thousands or millions of times over, why would you even want to incentivize or reward makers of such a ludicrous product.

The VHS tape and VCR guy should be correcting his price shortly. :)

I've said this before but I'll say it again because it is telling. 

When I hear that someone paid $1000 for a pair of interconnect cables I think it is nuts. (Although the ones I have may have been close to that.) They, the buyer, thinks it is great and made a huge difference. And I can't say he's wrong.

So when $24,000 interconnects come up we both think its nuts. But why? Where does the reality stop and the insanity begin? We all tend to think the insanity starts just a few miles north of what we're willing to spend.

I suspect there are audiophiles out there who aren't members of this site and would never condescend to even have a discussion with someone who does not understand the real, tangible, music and life altering value of $24,000 cables. If we can't hear it, well, you know...........
