Personally next time I'm down in Medford plan to take a crap on their doorstep just as fair return for all the crap they spew.
I might have spent $37K in total since I bought my first system in the Spring of 1971. Maybe more, but I wouldn't bet much on it. Love music and want it to sound good to me, but conservative in my spending.
I better cash in some stuff too. I really need those cables!I may have to cash in my IRA to get these for AVR, all my amps, and other AC powered gear.
Just like the Bible, Mikey Fremer and Stereophile told me so.
AudioQuest Dragon Source AC cord:$4500/1m, $3400/additional meter
High-current version: $5500/1m, $4400/additional meter
The top models of AudioQuest's power-cord lineup, the Dragons are available in two types: Dragon Source ($4500/1m), intended for source components, and Dragon High-Current ($5500/1m), intended for use with power amps, AC-power regenerators, and other products that draw higher-than-average current. All Dragon models are made with a combination of solid silver and solid copper conductors, and feature AudioQuest's battery-powered dielectric bias system (DBS). After fitting his system with Dragons of both sorts, MF reported "a major improvement in the overall sound" and decided to buy them: "In the context of my audio system, based on what I hear every day, it's well worth it." MF later wrote, when comparing the Dragon AC cables with another brand that what he heard "was another leapfrog forward producing more transparency (in the sense of the ability to see into the sonic space), more air, and more rhythmic authority. ... Nothing else I've tried ... matches the Dragon AC cord's transparency, quiet, and taut musical grip." (Vol.41 No.5, Vol.45 No.9 WWW)
LoL.
At one time these and other super expensive AQ gear could provide lots of entertainment by reading reviews on Amazon. They were hilarious. I have a feeling Amazon curates those now. You don't see very many reviews, they don't list their most expensive products and the funny satire reviews appear to have been removed.I may have to cash in my IRA to get these for AVR, all my amps, and other AC powered gear.

Yes, I stand corrected.
Don't you go giving them ideas
!!!" better speaker cable in the World ..
)
Dang. Youse guyses are triggerin' me. Again.Don't you go giving them ideas
MIT has something similar on their speaker cables .. and it is likely , the most expensive, thus the "most:
ACC 268 Revision 2 Articulation Control Console
$111,995.00 – $124,995.00
No typo, the above is straight cut'n'paste, from their website...
(mod, please delete if not appropriate and I will just re-print it
The AC268, has an articulation console so the "articulation" can be dialed in .. The next step is a control, just like the one above, for "textural suppleness", later another (knob) for "Rythmic Authority" .. much later another knob for "Timing authority" .. by the then the speaker cable would be around $500,000.oo and S'Phile or TAS writers will realize what they've been missing all these years.. Then, X-musk will step in and .. provide an app-controlled neural implant, then MIT Cables, will modify with these built-in...
.. a new field offleecing, err... "innovations" for High End Audio
Wow!
Peace.
So, basically this does what normally an amp does or is supposed to do if you want to correct for lacking fidelity, you know, like Balance; Treble; Bass; with turn-over points; Tilt and so on, what good amps of the seventies and early eighties provided on amps costing between 600-1000$, amazing!, how science progressedDon't you go giving them ideas

No, but the cost has.
Exponentially , so it seems.
It's an industry where most of the punters and the pundits directly correlate cost and sound quality. So no surprise that prices get more ridiculous every year.
Why are you bashing Playboy, they had great interviews and some good articles, audiorags have zero to offer.
