As I look at all these posts


I am amazed at how many cable companies there are. ..and that's not including the big boys...Audioquest, Cardas, Kimber, Purist, Nordost, etc. This must prove something....who knows?

It proves that it is very, very easy to manufacture a decent cable (using others' parts, or spec'ing out parts for others to manufacture), and that it's potentially very profitable. Even if only until the self-marketing momentum of the new company/product/gimmick wears off.
Easy to make cheaply, easy to sell for a big profit.
With no actual criteria other than puffery and word of mouth.. it is easy to become the cable of the month.. And make big money.
At least that is what all those folks getting into the cable business think.

Get all your friends to start posts about your cables.. Asking about them, sayingthey love them.. etc.
Easy. Just do not make it obvious. (Some folks just seemd to be too big on the cheerleading squad to be believable,)
As Elizabeth mentioned, it is all about profit. As many double blind tests have shown over the last fifty years, high price has nothing to do with great sound. Yet, the low entry cost of making cables attracts new players, with ability to 'spin, spin, spin'. The availability to low cost producers in China has vastly expanded the roster of cable makers. If you are buying speaker cables, always compare the high price one against 12 gauge wire from Home Depot. Hey, all you have to lose is a few bucks and in the process avoid a costly mistake.
Hey, just wait till ya get to all the speaker companies.
