Those prices are no longer "insanely expensive."
There is a tier above them now.
You got it..
On top of the products I looove to hate
The ... WAVAC !!! It was $350,000 in 2004!! I shudder to know what it would cost today, 14 years later, perhaps > $500K .. Prices do not go down in High End Audio, they only increase. This thing is the epitome of Low Fidelity to the signal but is highly musical ... whatever that means to you plebeian objectivists ... (Actually if you were to ask us, subjectivists what
that means you would get a very different answer from every respondent.
The Link to John Atkinson measurements (Click here)
Since we are dealing with the absurd, here is another link ... I like the Nordost Fiber Optics cable a lot ...
Click HERE The link is a little behind the times for speaker cables but I believe the fiber optic cables form Nordost is still the king of fiber optic cables ... I think they should use that particular brand of fiber for Transcontinental Internet connection. Those slow undersea cables in use today are no match for it... Only problem would have been the cost $33,000 for 2 meters! NY _london is
5,585,000 meters but hey!! Jeff Bezos could pay for it to allow Amazon customers to have a better Internet Experience
I am also looking for a $100K speaker cable .. The
MIT ACC 268 at $80,000 (No TYPO, Click here), comes close but I need $100K models to bring my speakers/system to the next level: Blacker background, stadium-sized soundstage, more extension in the highs ... Magic elimination of room nodes and other objectivist fixations such as rooms peaks or even the arcane Allison effect. True the MIT with its many poles of Articulation is only $80K (By the way the value of the poles can be calculated since those are poles of something mathematical, equation perhaps.. and it is from MIT
) perhaps a few additional meters woud bring it to the magical threshold of $100K but I am partial to short speaker cable and long interconnects ....
