Shame on you Denon!

[itschris]

Bottom line... it's a $50 cable with $400 in mystique. With our collective heads together, I think we could come up with 100 more sold just like it that no one would ever say boo about.

Who Else Make This Cable?

That's what I want to know!

Does Blue Jeans Cable make this Denon-Link cable?

Does Monoprice make this Denon-Link cable?

Does Monster make this Denon-Link cable?

Does Wal-Mart or Best Buy make this Denon-Link cable?

Or is Denon the ONLY company in the world who makes this Denon-Link cable?

I'm not sure I follow? Denon is certainly the only company that makes a cable called Denon-Link. But if you want to use Denon-Link on any of Denon's products, you can simply use any cat 6 cable.

Oh,***hee***hee***

Okay, so it's a $500 Ethernet Cable for entertainers like Britney Spears, Spice Girls, and all those damn-rich people who have nothing else to do but waste their money.

Okay, so what else can we say about this cable that we haven't already said?

That Denon should have never made it because it gives them a bad name?

Do you not think that the mark-up in electronics isn't huge?

Not that huge.

Dude, for that price I could get a BJC hooked up to an entire receiver.

Is the rip off not obvious?

 

[AcuDefTechGuy]

I think we all agree that it's a rip-off.

The question is, does this make Denon the BAD GUY?

The second question is, can we forgive Denon?

I can forgive Denon on this.

 

[brulaha]

Oh,***hee***hee***

I thought you were joking. I just couldn't tell within the context of your post. I agree though...there is not much else to be said.

Shame on Denon?

Shame on denon are you kidding me? If you don't like the 500 dollar cable don't buy it. If you like their reasonable priced well made recievers buy one. End of story. It's my money if I want to spend it on a $500 cat 5 cable that just makes me rich or stupid. Not to consider a denon reciever because I don't like them selling a cat 5 cable for$500, dollars just makes me STUPID!!

Yet, how can we ignore the fact that the exotic cable companies are making buckets of cash? .

Could this also apply to other consumer marketplaces? Say homeopathic stuff?
Holistic healing, etc? Psychics: Sylvia Brown @ $700/hr? All make a ton of money.

 

[mtrycrafts]

Excellent point!

Would you guys rather have Denon (D&M) be sold to Best Buy?

D&M needs to fix their financial state. Apparently they are in some slight trouble. They need to put more cash flow into the company.

I won't be buying these $500 cables, but I won't mind seeing Bill Gate buying them either.

Let's keep the money in D&M, instead of Monster, Kimber, Vampire Wire, and every other Snake-oil cable company, so that D&M can continue to crank out excellent products.

You know what they say about straying to the dark side A little bit here, a little bit there and before you know it, you are all the way in.

Thanks, Jamie! Misery is my muse, and I'm just getting over a hot house combined with sleep deprivation.

 

[krabapple]

If Mark Levinson, McIntosh, Krell, etc. were to sell cables for $500 each, no one would say anything.

Wanna bet?

 

[krabapple]

... yeah I get it, but why is everyone pissed because there's people willing to pay too much for something.

Theyre' not. They're 'pissed off' (and amused, see the amazon comments) that a formerly reputable audio company is selling snake oil and indulging in ridiculous and misleading advertising.
