If you’re a true audiophile, this kind of price may not make you blink, but the rest of us are led to wonder about you:
Cory Doctorow would like you to read one of the reviews for this amazing product — a brilliantly crafted science fiction short story:
We live underground. We speak with our hands. We wear the earplugs all our lives.
PLEASE! You must listen! We cannot maintain the link for long… I will type as fast as I can.
DO NOT USE THE CABLES!
We were fools, fools to develop such a thing! Sound was never meant to be this clear, this pure, this… accurate. For a few short days, we marveled. Then the… whispers… began.
Oh, I have no doubt that someone who would pay that much for cables is hearing voices…
In other news: it’s all bullsh!t!
So there.

I felt the HDMI cables are obscenely overpriced, and bought the cheapest one we could find. Audio cables have no rational explanation for being over a few dollars, never mind thousands.
Still, let’s be grateful that there are still a few people who unwittingly devote their lives to proving that P.T Barnum was right . . . there is one born every minute (yes, I know he didn’t really say that — but he should have).
