Oh, speaking about cables, just take a look at the audiophile market,
and you will even find optical fiber cables... with gold-plated
connectors ! Or USB cables "made specially for music" costing more
than $2k apiece. I don't blame the industry, why not take advantage
of that, if there are people naive/idiot enough to buy ?
