Talk about praying on the ignorant.

This is my favorite line...

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

You mean to tell me that speaker wire would work just as well? The nerve of those cable makers!!!

Don't forget, electrons are not intelligent, they need to be told where to go...

Cheeky little fellows aren't they?

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?

In an era when politicians aspired to be Statesmen.

Aside: Do you occasionally submit to the KNS forum?

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?
