    Bet 99% of the population couldn't tell the difference using this lead over a £1 job from pound land.

      I've still got 20ft of RS232 cable in the attic. Bound to come in handy some day.

          You see a similar effect with food, art, cars, etc though. As someone mentioned on here only yesterday, his sales went up when he increased his prices.

            The irony is that whatever music the purchaser ends up listening to will have been recorded using microphone cables that cost a few pounds a meter tops and quite a lot of completely bog standard black plastic kettle leads.

                  I remember this from a few years back: Most expensive audiophile speaker cable in the world

In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
