I am waiting for audiophile Romex and breakers. But, they do have audiophile receptacles. I am a proud owner of a $100 receptacle I inherited from the previous owner of our house, It’s a lovely thing, pure copper contacts and hospital grade construction. Nice plastics. Very well made.Are these people oblivious to the cable on the other side of the wall socket?
But that’s one of the things about this, these products are very nicely made of premium materials with very attractive designs. They are heavy, and solid, and feature gold and oxygen free copper and exotic wire construction.
The fraud isn‘t how how they are built but in the claims about what all that fancy construction can do.
One of the problems is that various parts of this fiction aren’t fiction. That is, better cables can improve sound quality over poorly made ones. So it seems very logical that you can just keep making the better and the differences will be subtler and subtler but always accessible to the initiated and sensitive who “actually care about listening to music” as one reviewer put it.
