That goes for speakers amd amps this is normal. But when it gets really expensive then that other that veblen kicks in, it can get so absurd that actually raising the price on luxury items sells more of them , as they now are even more exlusive . Thats why If I wanted to shop for a good power amp I would look at Bryston but not Krell . I would not like hifi priced as exclusive watches when the needed functionality is avaible for a fraction But an usb cable once its , usb2 certified what more can you have ? After a few squids the price/performance is completely disconected. I'll bet that some of the voodo cables actually perform worse than a correctly made usb2 certified cable. Of course , a kimber silver usb cable :) drivel. Another analog myth transfered to digital, that different metals sounds different . Those super expensive cables are just pretty audio jewelry to dress up your hifi in, why are they always pretty and comes in exlusive boxes etc ;) -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
