I'll take it - at 110% off.. Just mail me a check for $70 bucks and we'll call it even.
 
 

If you told "audiophiles" that their hi-fi would sound better if they listened to it while standing on their head in a plastic bucket of cold cat sick 23% of them would believe you.
 
If you then told them that for the "true audiophile experience" the bucket had to be gold-lined, silver plated and "electrostatically hyper-charged" by an AAA battery connected by "rare earth metal" cable to concentrate the woo, and that the whole assembly could be theirs for a "mere" $2,499.99 the number of believers would triple and you'd get rave reviews in the audiophile comics.
 
Some people are immune to logic, fact or common sense.

Don't forget a good power chord.  If your IEC cable isn't diamond coated or Kevlar reinforced, you audio will suffer.  Anything below $300/ft is junk.  
 
Also keep in mind that the slower your hard drive spins the less accurate your data playback will be.  50,000rpm drives are a necessity for quality audio storage.

Blind A/B testing is like cage-night at the WWF - everybody's gonna get the snot knocked outta them and us viewers all get entertained.

If you want to impress the audiophile market with your music, just mix in the occasional truck driving by or a dog barking... 

I should sell cables instead of going to work every day. What a waste.
 
There is a difference between poor quality and good quality - especially at high frequencies. Try a bad, long HDMI cable, and you will see the error rate as flickering pixels.
Even a 1.5 m USB cable for $100 would be complete nonsense.

The scary thing is there are "people" who will buy into that. Male/ has high paying job/ single and wants the best of it all. 

I know of at least a couple of people like this - but you can't tell them anything!
 
Please, give me your money and I'll sell you something equally good, if not better!

The latest "in thing" in Nashville is the Little Walter amps.  $2500 for a 50 watt head.  From what I gather on other forums its not much more than the generic amplifier circuit in the RCA tube manual.  But he uses $20 (each) "audiophile" capacitors.

Are the cables better? Yes!
But are they worth it?
No!
 
If you could hear the difference when everyone else thinks they have the better ears to do that with in the first place.
 
But then, people with money to burn may just do that (well at least a male)!

 
The fact the manufacturer came out with the cable in the first place, means that there are people who will buy it.
 
Feed the ego, feed the ego, feed the ego, I suppose!
 

It's all relative. We mock those with more money than sense for buying $300 power cables, but spend some time in a truly impoverished country and you'll start to think about your own purchases that may strike others as laughable excess. Think disposable diapers, non-recyclable containers, off-road vehicles that never leave pavement, doggie hairdressers, 80" flatscreen TVs, garage-door and gate openers, $3 bottles of water, hand-clap sample libraries.
