It’s all above my head and outside of my wallet, I have those 4 end banana plug speaker wires but I did it myself by hand, not easy but it was like $200.00. I think if a person is that rich i wonder if they enjoy the hobby as much as we do, because we can always dream and wish, they can’t.I find it most amusing when you hear about someone who bought something like that talking about the break in period for the wire.
Joni Mitchell wrote a song about these people. It's called Raised On Robbery. It comes in Quad too!
about 10 years ago I had the opportunity to try some Tara Labs speaker wire and I had a Macintosh C32 preamp that allowed you to take the left and right channels and switch them all over to the left Channel or take the left and right Channel and switch them to the right Channel so that you maintained all of the signal. My son and I replaced the right channel wire with the Tara labs and kept the cheap speaker wire on the Left speaker. we placed the left and right speakers side by side and then got back 17ft to the listening position and compared the left and right channels by switching the selector switch. We did hear a pretty drastic difference. So my wife and daughter came in from shopping and I had them listen to the two speakers not telling them what we had done and both of them immediately asked what was wrong with the one speaker. How I read about a guy who was offering $1000000 to anyone who could prove that there was a difference in speaker cables I wish I could have had him in the room....lol
So I still have all Tara Labs speaker wire but it is because I ended up buying a whole roll at wholesale price. the speakers or final transducer as we would call it are still 90% of your total sound quality. No matter what tweaks that you do to your system it still has the goal of making your system a better reproducer of music.
You could probably find a comparable quality cd player for under $20,000.00, if you took the time to be thrifty and wait for a good sale....23K dollar cd player...
I went to a guy's house last year that I befriended on another forum to hear his megabucks system. He had 150k in cables, yep you read that right. First thing that I asked was, "did all this eliminate noise?", so he told me to put my ear up against the midrange and tweeter, to which it was dead silent and he motioned to me showing me that the volume control was all the way up. It was one of the best sounding systems I have ever heard. He said his goal has always been about the music, and whatever it takes to get the best fidelity necessary to enjoy the music, then money is no concern. He had over 9,000 cd's of music and a 23K dollar cd player. I thought it was worth every penny of HIS money.
