Slashdot | James Randi Posts $1M Award On Speaker Cables

James Randi has put the million dollar prize on the line against a set of $7,250 Pear Anjou speaker cables. Honestly, I don't quite understand why people pay this kind of money for some proverbial electron superhighway. That's why modern components are designed for 8 ohm loads. If anything, I wonder if cables like this would cause damage to your components (as if they do anything at all... I'd love to see what oxygen-free cotton looks like. :) )
