I could buy a nice *airplane* for the price of 4m of that cable. Who in their right mind buys this stuff? I spotted this link in today's discussion about Monster cables bullying another cable firm (which, as it happens, sells cables at something only one order of magnitude higher than a reasonable price to pay for interconnect cables).
Now consider this. That almost $6K per metre cable is for *digital* interconnects, where good enough equates to perfect. A piece of twisted pair telephone wire would probably work well enough.

I know I shouldn't be amazed by stuff like this, but I often am. I remember reading a thing about wine tasting and people sampling wines without knowing the cost, generally ranked them 1-4. Then when they were asked to taste test the same wines (without knowing it), only they were told that wine 4 was the most expensive, then 3, then 2, and then 1. Same wines, but the new ranking was 4-1.
Bottom line, as long as the measure subjective and can say it
