What's great about it: Audio Quality++, Video Quality+, Overall Craftsmanship
What's not so great: Can't think of anything that is 'not so great' about this cable
I just graduated for college, and received this cable from a graduation gift from my grandfather, who is in his late 70's and retired from a successful career in business. I was a little skeptical at first (graduated in engineering) but you don't turn down or exchange a gift in my family. To my surprise when I got home and hooked this up to my Xbox, my skepticism immediately disappeared. I was FLOORED not only by the video CLARITY, but by the AMAZING sound quality too. And the black levels. As a previous reviewer alluded to, the black levels really pop up better with this. (I'm using it on my 50" LG INFINIA).
So I called him to say thanks, and he said happily that he knew I would like it. I asked him how he knew about them. Turns out that my grandfather recently upgraded to a DVD player (but decided to wait on blu-ray, because he's not convinced it will be the standard going forward. So it's better to wait on that for now.) But these cables will work no matter what the media standard is in the future a couple years from now. So in that way they are "future proof" and will still be under warranty. He bought two for himself (one for his receiver and one for his new DVD player (a SONY), then later went back to get my gift. He said that the gentleman at Best Buy explained that these cables are some of the best you can buy, in many ways superior to the Monster brand, which was at one point thought to be the best. These are even better, way better.
People should note that while these cable do cost more than the cheap ones, they are of higher quality. Superior craftsmanship shines through, and give you the assurance and piece of mind of a FIVE year warranty. It's nice to deal with a company that stands behind their product (many other cable companies, don't offer such a warranty). And Best Buy was very helpful with helping my grand-dad. A+++.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I can barely tell if some of those reviews are trolls or not... 😵
The reviews are hilarious:
What's great about it: picture quality
This cable is worth every penny. I hooked it up to my older tube TV and now its a high def television.
What's great about it: Changed my life
What's not so great: nothing!
I bought this cable for my 17" bedroom tv on the 36 months no interest offer from Best Buy and WOW! its like Im watching HD for the first time. This cable actually reprograms your TV to 4k resolution and creates a glasses free 3D image. A must buy!

I used to think this was a pricing error, but apparently it's not.
So I went to the website for this cable to see how they could charge so much...

100% silver conductors.. so the cable is basically a silver necklace for your home audio 🙂

My guess: arenas, auditoriums, movie theaters and the people who don't know better.

They are trolls, this has been on reddit a few times (and I think here as well).

Surely this isn't the first time you guys have stumbled upon these expensive cables on Amazon or BB?
I've always wondered how they get into retail with these prices, though. Is it that what we are seeing is the initial line of in-development new generation cables? I wonder if companies just shove a few of these out into the space prior to manufacturing, hoping some numbnuts will pay for them, the price essentially representing the cost/cable during R&D?
