But I suppose the wilder the lies, the more audiophools will pay.

Audio doesn't really matter anyhow.

Didn't one of the electronics magazines once publish a series of A/B
comparisons of various ultra-expensive speaker cables against zero-guage
welding cable? As I recall, the 0 AWG pair performed better in both the
instrumental and listening tests than any of the audiosnob brands. Of
course, the expensive-is-always-better crowd countered that the cables
must be matched to the combination of amp, speaker and listening room.
One day, I'd like to see how a panel of audiosnobs would rate a _live_
performance heard through an opaque (but acoustically transparent)
curtain.

About 30 years ago the reknowned UK pro recording magazine Studio Sound
conducted *scientific* tests of various loudspeaker cables (plus listening
tests). Heavy gauge house wiring cable of 4mm2 CSA came second out of 6-8
examples. I forget what bettered it. Probably 6mm2 house wiring cable
! ;~)
