Yes! WHY all the fuss? However, the argument [since I've spent kilobucks on
speakers, $50 for cable is a trifle] misses the point entirely.  If ordinary
line cord at 9 cents a foot cannot be distinguished from dollar a foot zillion
strand litz wire in carefully controlled tests, then it makes no practical
sense to buy the litz wire.  Doing so only lines the manufacturer's pockets.

However, such cabling does fufill the first commandment of audio equipment
manufacture,
	``Thou shalt make a product that is above all else sexy''.

Personally, I'd rather spend the $45 difference on new records.
