You'll feel inadequate without one!

Or perhaps not.

But it is pink! And you get a test report!

It's handcrafted. I mean you can see the handcrafting "quality" on those white heatshrinks on the connector. ;D For 2 grand I would expect a bit more. Like personalised 3d printed gold/diamond crustings whatever..

Good old snake oil salesmen.

No thanks, I prefer invest in golden fuse (set in the right direction of course)

Hah, I saw that. There was a Facebook thread about it, and my contribution was "if your kit is improved by using a $2k cable, your kit is broken."

That got the desired reaction. Mastering engineer Dave Collins and I were both banned from posting on that cable company's Facebook page. Mission accomplished.

Well... Testimony: "Second thing I noticed was differences in the time domain, the way the spatial information was conveyed. The imaging was better and the soundstage took on another 10'." That's for a 1.6m (about 5ft) cable. Does every increase in cable length comes with a double increase in soundstage?
I can't wait to experiment a 20ft "soundstage" in my 10x12 control room. Will it push the walls?

I would love to sell these jackholes a nice 20m USB cable. I wonder what they'll think of the soundstage then.
