My main concern is the flimsy built quality..and the use of 'home depot' shower hose and messy glue...I have nothing against profit providing you deliver a quality product...as for the 'God' thing..I have heard it at the FSI show last year from Rick himself!!

Some people seem to like their stuff - though there were some obvious shills on the thread - and I only read part of it. We're not fans, for many reasons including their claim that God told them how to make the cables, but that is irrelevant. I say, if it is made of old toilet paper but sounds fantastic, it should sell for what it's competitors with the same level of sonic performance sell for. JFYI, the manufacturers I talk to about this, that we carry, they vociferously disagree :-) They are really very proud of what went into their products. Me? I just care about how it sounds, gentlemen. For example, Nordost makes their own cables ... builds their own machines to make them, etc... mostly for pace makers and stuff. Audio Note has so much silver in their stuff, worst case scenario one could melt it down and sell it [and given our economy these days...] It is funny that so many people in the U.S. - like Engadget.com linking to that thread to make fun of our hobby yet again - do not understand capitalism yet they are so gun ho about exporting it Supply, demand, capitalization costs... hello? Or maybe they understand it very well - sensationalist accusations sells. Hope all is well, Guy, Mike I see nothing wrong with Virtual Dynamics charging $150 or whatever it was for $20 of parts + labor, marketing, support, etc. Usually the markup is around 5X, but VD puts things on 40-50% off sales periodically.
