Audio is one of those products for which the upper price limit is completely absent. It is believed that the sound quality can be improved almost infinitely, the ideal is still unattainable. For the pursuit of this ideal sound lovers lay out a lot of money. Does this make sense?
A well-known organization JREF, which specializes in combating common myths in the field of paranormal phenomena, has become interested in issues of professional audio. Any person who proves the existence of a certain paranormal phenomenon (reading thoughts, predicting the future, UFOs, etc.) can come and get a million dollars. However, since 1964 there has not been a single such person.

So, the JREF organization announced a
prize of one million dollars for proving that this cable provides at least slightly better quality than ten to twenty times cheaper cables.
By the way, this prize can be obtained by any of the “experts” whose opinion is quoted in the Pear Cable advertising.
