I'm sure everyone has a good cable story, and here's mine. A couple of Saturdays ago our presenter at the Houston Audio Society was the head of a high end cable company. Their flagship speaker cable sells in the $20K to $30K range depending on the length you select. This product's claim to fame is the use of LED's within the cable to "bathe the conductors in a gentle light". That beats the battery bias bullshit by several light years (no pun intended).At the other end of the spectrum there are some companies that charge reasonable prices for their products. A couple of examples are Element cable at http://www.elementcable.com/ and Signal cable at http://www.signalcable.com/ Both offer good sounding interconnects in the $50 price range with their premium products selling for a bit over $100. But they don't offer battery bias, LED's, or magic potions of any kind, so they can't be as good as the high priced spread.
