£37,350!!!!!!!!!!!!
Plus the price is for 1m lengths
I love Hendrix for so many reasons. He was so much more than just a blues guitarist - he played damn well any kind of guitar he wanted. In fact I'm not sure if he even played the guitar - he played music. - Stevie Ray Vaughan

But it might be quite good.

A friend of mine leant me some pairs of expensive cables to try. The thing that surprised me most was that one pair made my system sound worse. I wasn't expecting that. My take was that cables make a difference, but not always a good one, and that expensive cables can be a miss-match in your system just as cheaper cables can. Try before you buy!

Of course if you were a potential buyer the salesman would have an explanation for thatWhich would lead to even more expense.

This thread is suffering from AoS's notorious thread drift. It is largely my doing, but I fear some of the posts may have put Stuart off experimenting with cables.
The best advice to Stuart was given by Adrian (AJSki2fly), with which I concur.

Don't agree but you've certainly made your point.

Those kind of prices look crazy to most of us, but then the "modest" amounts we spend often don't make sense to Joe Average - my brother doesn't get it, he has Amazon Echoes scattered around his home which sound "more than good enough". But he'll happily spend big money on bicycles (he only has two legs) and various carbon fibre bits to make them an ounce or two lighter (A Slimming World membership would be much cheaper). They're all hobbies, which rarely make sense to outsiders.
Personally I could have a dedicated listening room built onto the house for that kind of money, but the bloke who buys that cable probably already has one.

Hobbies tend to bring out the obsessive tendencies in many. Glad I never took up golf or fishing!

My few hobbies (motorbikes, archery, hifi) come and go - I stick with one for a few short years, realise my limitations, get bored, move onto another hobby, then return a few years later. I sense the archery thing making a return soon. The hifi thing has run for more than ten years this time round, which is way longer than normal. Probably down to the nutjobs on here keeping me interested
Two of my old hobbies (weight training and judo) have long gone now. And they're not coming back. Though I may join a gym if they offer an old fogey discount.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”
