Someone who is committed full time to hi-end audio over the course of a couple decades very well better have on hand a good number of proper cables, cords, etc. There are few reviewers who own $150,000 speakers. Jacob Heilbrunn is an exception in that he's only part-time reviewer. He is independently wealthy from his career. I'd guess he's got close to $1,000,000 into his main system. I'm not sure what that might bother you. Thankfully, guys like him are passionate about this hobby and have writing skills. We can learn from these guys even we don't agree with every word. Try to enjoy this hobby and maybe stop taking so much pleasure at popping off.
