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"?

First of all it's hard to call any amp in the $1,2k range
(especially adcom) decent and secondly $1,2k can't buy you even the
cheapest pair of some manufacturers cables.

Amps in the $1.2K range can be decent.

There, that was easy.

How did you come to the opinion that it's hard to call any amp in the
$1.2K range decent?

What is the magic number? $1.3K? $2K? $10K?

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