There is absolutely no way anyone could ever ever ever ever EVER justify that price, surely. Is there anyone who would like to try?

 

[Lee H]

The justification is that if you can afford it, you can have it

We covered this in our news channel several days ago.

I'm sure there'll be some nutt... ahem... rich enthusiasts that'll buy them.

Ah, the weekly Russ Andrews thread.

Just in case anyone has a sweepstake running on the first mention of 'ASA ruling' then i've now got that out of the way. (That was for mains cables anyway.)

Double blind testing

Snake oil

Greek audiophile club video

Emperor's clothes (or lack of)

I think that covers the bases.

 

[Lee H]

Well, I need 4 metres, so I guess the search goes on

Smacks forehead!

You were 30 seconds ahead of my next edit.

Ooh, ooh, the Denon $450 'network' cable (that isn't).

As ever...

chebby:Ooh, ooh, the Denon £4500 'network' cable (that isn't).

Is that the one that open a portal to another world according to the Amazon review?

 

[dave_k]

You'd think, at that price, they would have a nice round number eg £16,200. Do they really care about that 72p?

 

[chebby]

Lee H:Is that the one that open a portal to another world according to the Amazon review?

Only if the 'other world' is Denon Link compatible.

It's only $500 (and it is btw, even the twisted pairs occupy the same pin positions in the RJ-45 connectors).

I believe Groundhog Day was last week...

I thought the same thing. Maybe it was a round number and the VAT increase made it what it is now.

And now it's Groundhog Day all over again. I'm sure I've had this feeling of d‚j… vu before...
