None of my computers or AV equipment are out in the rain, I keep all of it in the house so rust isn't a big problem. It's also very rare that any of those things go for longer than twenty or thirty years without being unpluged and moved, so I service the cheap connectors at that time. It is a pain to have to wipe them off, but I think the seven seconds is worth the hundreds of dollars I save.

unless you have more connectors than an A380 i'm calling bullsh!t on saving hundreds of dollars. gold plated svideo cables can be had for under $3, and that's before quantity discounts

Ok fine... here

It's not a USB cable, but whatever

Uh... they don't even explain why it's so expensive? Is the cable cryo treated or something? Without any more information, I bet a DIYer could build that cable for something like $200 or so.

Unless litz braiding is more expensive than I thought it was.

EDIT: oh wait. On that same site, I found this. Unless you speaker guys are absolutely crazy, I think that site's all about the snake oil.

If you're into DIY, you can make your own knobs

:laugh:

Audiophiles are crazy (at least the crazy ones) :shiftyeyes;

and I thought $300 interconnects were expensive

But honestly, I haven't heard ANYTHING about the quality of knobs in my time at Head-Fi (for headphone amps, anyway). Is this just confined to speaker equipment?

The only thing to worry about are the knobs who buy things like this.

That's why I stock all those kinds of nickle-and-dime-ya-to-death crap now.
I drag along a few of everything on installs, etc. I order $30~$50 of stuff every few years, and get about 20 to 1 savings.
