Wow, at $390 for a 6 foot IEC cable it better sound damn good. Did anyone else look at the price of the Req. XLR cables? A 25' is $555!!! Damn!!!

I know people buy these things but I just can't see the point. So many good sounding records have been made with regular Canare, Mogami and Beldon. Just good cable, not crap, not amazing. Just good. If I replaced all my XLR's with those $555 jobs I'd spend over $11K on XLR cables. I doubt it would make my recordings sound $11K better. I'd rather spend the money on something that matters, like advertising.
