90000 is chump change for some of the people I see up on audiogon with stuff that i've never heard of. 14000 dollars for 2.5 meters of speaker cable, 20,000 dollars for 280 w (8 ohm) used amplifiers... 8000 dollars for power cords @_@
I can only imagine that conversation with your wife
"Honey, i know we've been saving for when the kids go to college, but the nordost Odin is 10% off... or... if we just get a second mortgage we'll have one of the best AC power cords in the world! It's in "like-new" condition too! Just imagine how much better things will sound! We'll show those Joneses!! With that kind of power cord, who needs a benz? We'll be the envy of the WORLD!
