It is easy to find overpriced merchandise is almost any product category. Some people find value in these products. So what? What difference does it make to you or me? But of course a great part of the enjoyment of life is making fun of Very Silly Things. You would deprive us of this? |

That's your opinion, and you're entitled to it. You're also free to enjoy mocking those who buy these cables. Some others apparently find value in these sorts of products, however. A very good reason indeed, speaking only for my personal viewpoint, to mock them roundly. For the perfect example see Swift, but of course nothing I could possibly say would even approach his standards. |

No, it would be a waste of money for you to buy them. Some others find value in these products. That's their prerogative. Just for reference, how many times have you bought yourself such cables at multi-thousand dollar prices? Buy the thickest, coolest looking cables you can afford; if they sound as good as the ones from Fry's, keep 'em. *R* *H* -- Powered by Linux |/ 2.6.32.26-175 Fedora 12 "No spyware. No viruses.

But why buy them if they merely sound "as good" as the cheap ones? 'Cos they look *really cool*: I've got 10 gauge copper wires with transparent insulation and they're lovely. And, if needs be, they can be put in service as jump leads... Andrew. |
