    Default Russ Andrews Kimber Kable Select Price.

    I had to rub my eyes to make sure I hadn’t misread the price!

    But no, in the brand new RA catalogue, there it is.

    A 3.6 metre pair.

    £37,800,00 !
    WTAF????

    I was at the local Mercedes dealership last week and you could pick up a highly spec’d ex demonstration E Class for less than that!

    Or 3 Rolex Daytona’s which will gain in value as oppose to lose money as soon as you buy the cable!

    Am I on my own thinking the asking price for this wanky wire is OTT?

    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!”

    Save £7k as they have them on offer currently.

    Correction:

    Make that £14k savings (for 3.5m cable) as you need to have two cables.

    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

    I had several interactions with him many years ago, with the Silencer, and cables.

    IMO it is all foo and he has made himself very rich as a result.

    I use Russ Andrews Monocle X speaker cable and it has put to bed quite a few speakers cables that cost a lot more. I have a Silencer mains block in my 2nd system and it's staying there. Mains Zapperators, 4 of them in my main system, brilliant bits of kit and 2 sets of speaker Zapperators. 1 set on each system and other people have tried them on there systems.......then gone out and bought them. I also have 2 Kimber 1 metre lengths of D60 digital interconnects that have easily beaten more expensive cables. I also have 2 Quantum Symphony's that are rather good.
    He usually offers a money back guarantee, if you are not happy you get your money back.
    I've always had good service, even replacing a power supply for a Quantum Symphony, 5 years after I bought. It came next day delivery as well.
    If you are not happy with his gear, don't buy it.
    I wish him all the best in his endeavours.
