i just got the "kimber kable select" catalog, and does anyone want to take a guess at how much their totl RCA costs? We'll be reasonable and call it a 15 foot cable; consider that the stinger expert costs around a hundred bucks here... any guesses? (no guessing if you already know :))

and, for an encore, guess how much the TOTL speaker wire is, call it 20 feet, and they come in pairs...

    Well, call me stupid, but I can't remember if they're supposed to be great or cheap. I'll guess $70...

    Wait, no..thats the Home Audio one

    I know some of their cheapest speaker wire is like 5 dollars a foot for home audio

    Its expensive stuff...no doubt

    lol... for a 14.8 foot totl KS 1030 interconnect, it's $4,800, and for 20 feet of totl KS 3038 speaker cable it's a mere $17,700 - and as a bonus, this is for both sides... now you know why this is entitled 'holy mother'... :D

    Youve got to be kidding? :eek:

    My Gawd! What could possibly justify that kind of price tag in a cable?

    I was close enough, their home products are just as expensive, if not more...

    yeah, vr3mx was way closer than anyone else :D... but their totl stuff is made out of hyper-pure, absolutely molecularly perfect silver, through and through... the freakin cables come in bulletproof luggage, for tim's sake...

    What's absolutely ridiculous is that there are probably people who buy that crap, and then think that they can actually hear a difference!

    if i ever won some outrageous sum of money i'd get two identical cars with the exact same soundsystem, the only difference being running one of them with stinger's totl wire and interconnects and the other one with the realy expensive cables... take them to sq competition and ask the judges to guess which is which....

    Did you mean to compare Stinger's TOTL interconnects with INexpensive cables?

    no, stinger vs the kimber kable select ones... i know the stingers are a couple hundred, but the kimber kable one's are rediculous... i wanna see if there's any difference at all....

    Oh, gotcha... Depends on the definition of expensive. I considered the Stinger cables to be expensive, so I didn't get it.

    lol... i can attest to at least the difference between average interconnects and stinger's expert, it was really worth the $110.... now, i dunno about the kimber stuff, but wouldn't it be cool to say you had solid silver interconnects and speaker wire!?
