    Great company, you should definitely buy whatever it is they are selling. Hell maybe if you buy enough Ted Denney can get a new Ferrari.

    Everyone has to decide how much wire is worth, for themselves.

    I didn’t have to go very far down that bunny trail to determine that more $ spent doesn’t necessarily equal better sound.

    Even then, if it does sound better, diminishing returns sets in faster on cables than any other category in the signal chain I can think of.

    Certain cables I spent more money on, sounded worse than my uber-affordable ones.
    CD Players: Sony CDP-211; Sony DVP-S9000ES; Sony UDP-X800M2 (x2); Cambridge Audio CXC

    DACs: Jolida Glass FX Tube DAC III (x2); Denafrips Ares II (x2)

    Streamers: ROKU (x3); Bluesound Node 2i and Node N130 w/LHY LPS // Receivers: Yamaha RX-V775BT; Yamaha RX-V777

    Preamps: B&K Ref 50; B&K Ref 5 S2; Classe CP-800 MkII; Audio Research SP16L (soon)

    Amps: Niles SI-275; B&K ST125.7; B&K ST125.2; Classe CA-2300; Butler Audio TDB-5150

    Speakers: Boston Acoustics CR55; Focal Chorus 705v; Wharfedale Diamond 10.2; Monitor Audio Silver-1; Def Tech Mythos One (x4)/Mythos Three Center (x2)/Mythos Two pr.; Martin Logan Electromotion ESL; Legacy Audio Victoria/Silverscreen Center; Gallo Acoustics Reference 3.1; SVS SB-1000 Pro; REL HT-1003; B&W ASW610; HifiMan HE400i

    Turntable: Dual 721 Direct-Drive w/Audio Technica AT-VM95e cart

    Cables: Tripp-lite 14ga. PCs, Blue Jeans Cable ICs, Philips PXT1000 ICs; Kimber Kable DV30 coaxial ICs; Canare L-4E6S XLR ICs; Kimber Kable 8PR & 8TC speaker cables.

    Best speaker wire is the duelund dca series. Stuff is seriously made with unicorn dust. I use it in literally every cable... Digital, analog, power.

    With the amount of money someone would spend on those products they could pay for a short trip to see the Titanic up close in a collapsible carbon fiber submersible.

    Sorry Ken, but as a Titanic historian of sorts, and as someone that knew one of the Ill-fated sub’s passengers, I find these types of comments to be disgusting and offensive.

    No way did Ken post that. But maybe I'm wrong..

    The onion is great.

    My sympathy meter is low. I am sure all parties are aware of the risks of diving to those depths and they accepted those risks.

    As of this post, 8 other active members of the Polk Forum found humor in it. It is dark and twisted humor but it is humor.

    They didn't feel a thing (unlike many on the Titanic) and every one of them knew and understood the risks.

    It is what it is.
