I think we all know about expensive "audiophile" quality speaker cable.

Does anyone sell similar cables without a huge pricetag? Not having to wade
through marketing BS about "soundstage" and "holographic instruments" would
be nice too.

I can't see any of this stuff costing more than pennies per meter to make.
I'm wondering if an Internet dealer has picked up than this and is selling
nice looking cables for 20p/meter or whatever.

If you buy ordinary speaker cable and thread it through clear garden
hose (the sort with the string wrapping inside it), is looks like
really fancy expensive stuff. If you also thread a string of blue LEDs
in there, you will have something worth ten grand at the very least.

It'll certainly impress the neighbours.
