    $500 network cable...

    Talk about praying on the ignorant.

    This is my favorite line...

    "Additionally, signal directional markings are provided for optimum signal transfer."

    EDIT: Maybe I should post the link... Need coffeee....

    $500.00 cable

    Surely, there's not an idiot out there so gullible he would pay $500.00 for a 1.5 Meter cable for his stereo system.

    Seventy five hundred for a receiver here, five hundred for a cable there... pretty soon we're talking real money.

    It's not really preying on the ignorant. It's offered for those who "believe" they have bought and now own the very best; items that are one-offs and out of financial reach to common folk. Esoteric is just for that reason alone, whether $500 network cables, a $5000 Class A valve amp, or a $1.3 million Ferarri. In most cases the buyer does get a truly high quality product, but I'm sure there's at least a 1000% or more mark up in price to keep it far above the top shelf ... like maybe on Cloud #9?

    If you think the price tag is hilarious, you should take a peek at some of the reviews.

    Amazon.com: Denon AKDL1 Dedicated Link Cable: Electronics

    How can they possibly justify the price? Incredible...

    I'm not familiar with the KNS forum. Should I be? Can you provide a link?
