New $24,000 inter-connect

$24k cables is certainly an insult to working people but so are many other things. $3k bottle of wine is even worse, as an example.
As for the sound, it's another point. 
Anyway, $100k monoblocks and $50k turntables sound reasonable compared to that. 

inna"$24k cables is certainly an insult to working people"

There is no reason, logic, or sense in allowing yourself to be degraded, demeaned, or insulted by an inanimate product, object, or device.

FYI... he was the VP and Founder of Tara-labs which the FBI raided the company due to counterfeit cables.  Please see attached:

Well, that is it - He needs the bucks for his attorneys.   If he faked US made products, he is probably faking the sound quality of $24,000 interconnects.   Even if he is not, I wouldn't buy from him.

"...a local cable manufacturer’s office this week, seizing more than $600,000 — worth of cables...

"Officers seized more than 42,000 cables..."

Apparently, officers were a bit more realistic and did not value cables much more than those from Home Depot.

It still remains that the company was preparing for, guessing it, 20000 customers for their cables. That is a lots of people for one manufacturer of a product that is, at best, used for entirely non-essential indulgence at high price.
