Thief comes to mind hear IMHO .... $1000,$2000, cables
Sometimes it's probably a good idea to quietly disapprove, but outwardly respect the beliefs(sometimes knowledge) of other fellow enthusiasts.

Don't get me wrong, i am not personally offended, nor am i attempting to defend the seller from the OP. I'm thinking more along the lines of the multiple high end hifi enthusiasts in the USA and abroad that cherish and use vintage Altec as well as new GPA hardware in their systems that have a good bundle more than that invested in their cables, some on a magnitude of 10 or more. Some of them might take offense.

I'm just sayin'..................
