How in the world can a pair of *cables* cost the same as a decent pre-amp/amp
combo (e.g., Adcom)? Or is this just marketing thinking that "if someone wants
to blow this kind of cash, we'll give him something to blow it on"?


They are probably charging this much in order to recoup some of the
R&D costs spent on development.


Excuse me? Since all cables sound the same (and properly conducted R&D
predicts that they will), just what 'development' is involved here?


Trial and error? Those long-term listening sessions add up, and time
is money, you know!

Besides, Intro to Electronics textbooks have gotten really expensive
since you were in school.
