This cable stuff is a marketing business. They can't make the product better, because the truth of the matter is a coat hanger will do the
job.
So If you don't pay the piper you get slammed. If you don't advertise in this 'phile' or that 'phile' you don't get reviewed.
Heck I can design and build cables that I can't distinguish from cables costing thousands of dollars. And I'm just a shmuck. So you have got to have clever marketing skills to peddle your wares. This cable business never ceases to amaze me.

You know Cut-Throat, I have somewhat started to share your sentiment about cables. I'm a firm believer in cables- IC's, speaker cables, power cords, in that they DO make a difference and sound different. There's no question there in my mind. But, all of my current cabling is home brewed and it's better than any cables I have ever owned. But, then again I haven't owned the mega buck stuff, then again never will because it seems ludicrous to me. I guess I have owned cables that aren't what one might call "cheap" too. More power to the people who have the mega buck stuff, that's there prerogative. I'm a newbie to DIY cables and I'm just floored at what you can make for literally next to nothing. I'm talking good stuff, really good stuff, not just "better than zip cord" stuff.
