$10k Speaker Cables??????????????

The "T" word/ It is curious I have seen folks call out the "T" word over and over. I have yet to see a real live genuine TROLL thread. Sure some can seem a bit like it ’might have been’ someone jokingly acting a bit trollish. But not a real troll. So Why is calling troll so popular? Maybe because folks can’t use the "N" word anymore? Nor the "R" word? So they grab for a word they can sling out there and seem to be saying something insulting? IMO the "T" word should be banned.IT does NOTHING to progress any discussion, and is only used to insult someone else the person DOES NOT LIKE. Seems to have zero to do with any actual language, or words, or style. Just a way to hurl a general insult. Sort of like flinging offal or dead animal entrails.

If you look at the product, there is at least some innovative engineering involved.  They didn't just paint the wires a different color and jack the price with every iteration, or every color change (if the shoe (fuse) fits...).

What they charge for it, and what people pay, is of no concern to me....we call it "free enterprise."  This is no more "madness" than what you see in many industries selling luxury items.  If you don't want to pay $10K, or don't have that much money for speaker cables, then there are plenty of other options.  For example;

Neotech has a speaker cable with similar (but not quite the same), single-wire winding geometry, but in a less complicated design;

I have used the troll descriptor in regards to an OP who deliberately creates a thread that he knows is going to be extremely contentious and then does a complete disappearing act.

In my mind it fits perfectly and that is my opinion and mine alone. Not forcing that on anybody.

Next snide snarky dig Elizabeth?

My apologies to Mr. Moderator and others for my profanity....one too many beers. haha

Alcohol is an excuse, not a justification. 🐈💩
