When dealing with music bad power can cause bad sounds to be produced. Wether it is bad grounding creating a hum, or just not enough power, it is just a weird deal with live music. Or recording music for that matter.

Not sure it's worth its weight in gold, but it be nice to have something like that if it does what I think it would.

All of our patented Starfire Tricormaxial™ cables have 99.99% pure oxygen free finely stranded electrolytic ropelay copper, virtually neutralizing skin effect and promoting very fast heat dissipation.


lol

These kinds of cables are for the rich. Only people who are already friggen millionares use this kind of equipment. I mean come on! Yeah, I'm sure it makes a significant impact on sound, but not enough that your following at the local bars will notice.

If you were in the Rolling Stones, Aerosmith or any other millionare band, I'd say go for it! Otherwise, bleh on that carp.

The most I have ever spent on a guitar cord or power cord is around $100. That's shrink wrapped ends with gold plated connections. Enough for any good musician. Beyond that is just having the $ to put into insane systems/accessories.

These are my interconnects

I ran out of money though I never got the power cord..But I got a BIG fat cord I made myself for about 12.95!

I also have a set of Richards speakers. not the ones shown though. to bad. but I did hear them...It ruined me for life! I have never heard anything as close to real as what is at his place.
