I just can't imagine paying $550 for a cable:

AudioQuest Columbia Audio interconnect cables with XLR plugs (pair) 2-meter

"PE Air Tubes to minimize information smearing"

"Smearing"?

"conductors labeled for proper direction of signal flow"

You have to be very careful to make sure AC flows in the right direction. :^)

"cold-welded silver-plated XLR plugs"

Welded???

I can't hear the difference; I'm too busy switching the cables twenty
thousand times a second in order to keep the current flowing in the
right direction.
