Two years ago we were showing at the California Audio show. I had just finished setting up the room and was curious as to how much our entire setup (SS8's, amp, preamp, dac, etc.) cost. So I tallied it up and it came to $23,000.
Walking around the show, I stopped by a cable manufacturer and asked about his "best" cables. "That would be these," he said. "They are $20,000 per pair."
I asked myself which I would rather have...all the equipment in our room or a pair of speaker cables. Tough decision...
