Overpriced s/h items

[Lindsayt]

Those Transparent Opus speaker cables are bonkers. $33,000 for a new 8 foot length. $17,000 2nd hand. The 2nd hand price is crazily high because the new price is such a joke. And they're a trip hazard with those carbon fibre boxes half way along them.

I think the claim below is a bloody peach........

"THE BEST LOUDSPEAKER'S YOU'VE NEVER HEARD OF"

Looking at DACs today I came across an American company called Schiit, who do interconnects @ $20 to 40. They're called Pyst

The blurb on their website reads "Beyond Just Technology: SuperUltraHyperTechnology PYST cables are made from only the finest 6-nines Unobtanium™ alloy, molecularly assembled in our Alternate Universe™ reality-distortion tesseract field , using a secret geometry reverse-engineered from crashed UFOs, painstakingly smuggled out of Area 51 by deep-cover operatives. Performance is further enhanced by the use of a QuantConnect™ quantum-entangled pair of transmission interfaces, held at absolute zero by our exclusive Stasis Field™ technology. The cables are then wrapped in NanoAeroCap™, a nanotechnology-enabled aerogel anti-capacitance insulation system, featuring Fractal Interleaved Geometry™ to create negative inductance for maximum audio transmission quality."

Bloody brilliant :D

I note that the PYST interconnects are designed 'to get your Schiit together'. Of course other companies have been down this line and ended up believing their own publicity.

Naim Nait2. Have you seen the price some of these fetch They are a very average low powered integrated amplifier. Nothing more. Easily beaten by an AP20. How do i know ? Well some one gave me a Nait2 a few years back because it did not work on one channel and he couldn't be bothered to get it fixed.

I opened it up and found a broken solder joint to one of the speaker outlet sockets That was the only thing wrong with it. I am now sitting on an amp worth more than £500. Bonkers.
