This article is what I consider a "clasic" and still have a laugh when I read 
it.

If you take a look at the prices of speaker cables in HiFi magazines, and read 
the reviews, you will 
find things like "good for classical, but a bit too rich on the base response" 
or "One of the best, 
for that that enjoy jazz, and can appreciate the quality and can afford these"

I'm surprised nobody has come up with solid gold hallmarked speaker cables. 
Perhaps having each cable 
the same electrical length (to say 0.01mm) so the sound arrives at the speakers 
at the same time. I'm 
sure if I made them and took at full page adds in a HiFi magazine, they would 
get good reviews. I'm 
sure some idiots with more money than sence would buy them.
