15 NOS Rubycon 100uf, 160v Electron Transfer Black Gate NH Capacitors,
are up to $2141.00 bid (plus shipping), on ebay, with 3+ days left to
go.

I know these are supposed to be the best caps, but are these caps made
out of gold? Why would anyone pay that much for them? (and the bidding
is not over yet).

Some of the people into high end audio systems are nuts.

They will pay over $ 100 for the 6 foot or so of wire that goes from the
equipment to the 120 volt wall socket. It is suspose to be some special
type of oxygen free copper. They do not take into account that there is
probably 25 to 100 feet of regular wire going to the breaker box and all
the other junk wire from there to the power company.

Even some old stock solder made at a certain place is going for big
bucks.


While I am not a wine drinker, I bet the audio people and the wine
people are about the same. Audio people can not tell the difference in
the equipment. Probably over 90% could not tell one wine from the other
if in a glass and not a bottle. Some goes for a few bucks and others
are auctiioned off for thousnds a bottle.
