OK let's back up, I didn't say there was anything "wrong" with Boulder amps, just that anybody who would waste, I mean spend, that much money on an amp will definitely pay a lot more for cables as well. Your Porche buying friend probably has vanity plates, too. I don't need any lectures on how people spend their money. The point was about the cables. I can design power amps in my sleep don't throw engineering salaries at me. If you want to spend thousands of dollars for heavy heat sinks and brushed aluminum, be my guest.
