Nordost’s $32,825 AV Cable
So here’s the biggest load of crap to hit the home entertainment market. The Whitelight Glass Fiber-optic Cable made by Nordost is supposed to deliver the best possible audio to your home theater. Your equipment better consist of McIntosh and nothing less, ’cause a pair of Whitelight cables will run you $32,825. Yes, that’s over thirty thousand dollars. I’m sure even the snobbiest audiophile would scoff at that price. Here’s a list of some stuff you could buy if you spent $25 on a set of gold-plated AV cables and saved the rest:
Designed for the discerning customer who requires the highest level of signal transfer performance from this medium.
Developed by Nordost, this cable provides outstanding results when utilized in high-end 2-channel audio or multi-channel home theater systems.
Whitelight glass cable uses an extremely high grade of glass fiber conductor which has very highly polished surfaces to ensure an optimum signal path for digital data streams.
The 3 layers of very low loss insulation as well as an internal damping mechanism are designed to preserve the integrity of the digital signal.
Each cable is terminated with high quality composite Toslink connectors whose precision polished lenses ensure absolute signal integrity at the point of connection.
This cable is the ideal choice where the highest quality optical link is prerequisite
Oooh! Let’s wipe our ass with $100 bills while we listen to my SACD of The Police!
Where do you get your “slightly” unacurate infoormation ?

1.5m White Light Glass Fiber Optic goes for no more than 217 USD, “just” 326908 USD less of what you claimed.
Please check your sources.
But indeed, there are many absurdly high priced cables, on the line of insanity, but still a good cable makes a difference.
Ed,
Read the post. This is about A PARTICULAR COMPANY’S CABLE that is outrageously priced.
Thanks.
