		<description>It&#039;s absurd.  Even a $217 cable is not going to make a noticeable difference when compared to stardard, high quality cable.  

The marketting hype pushing ridiculously expensive cables is depressing.  Worse, people buy them then swear they make things sound so much better; encouraging others to do so as well.  Why?  Well, it&#039;s better than admitting you&#039;ve been taken for hundreds of dollars.

Yes, quality cables matter.  Dollar store RCA cables will not compare to decent gold plated shielded cables, no doubt.  But there&#039;s seriously a matter of diminishing returns here: You pay more and more, and get less and less.

Get good, reasonably priced quality cables, and spend the money where it matters - the actual audio equipment, speakers, and either learning how to set it up *right* or use the money you save to pay a professional to do it.  Speaker placement alone accounts for orders of magnitude more impact on the overall audio experience than the difference between regular, quality cables and OMGWTF cables.</description>

		<description>Where do you get your &quot;slightly&quot; unacurate infoormation ?

Are you biased ?

What do you intend posting something so unacurate as this ?

You are in USA I guess, well you can check this 

http://www.upscaleaudio.com/product.asp?itemid=354&amp;catid=70


1.5m White Light Glass Fiber Optic goes for no more than 217 USD, &quot;just&quot; 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.</description>
