No of course not, just kidding! I think their prices in general are very OK but not always, depends a bit on the article category. Shipping costs are of course higher than buying from local shops.
Initially I thought I'd buy 100% silver hookup wire from Neotech which is also sold at Audiophonics (Neotech has solid copper hookup wire as well) but in the end I didn't go ahead with that because of the high costs and uncertainty of how much I needed at that time. Perhaps I'll revisit that subject later now I know the exact lengths I need. For now I went for low cost Jantzen silver plated copper wire as I wrote. Did not use the Jantzen 1.0mm2 cable yet (as a DC power cable), I may never.
I bought the Jantzen cables from a local Dutch shop (Rumoh), the two Neutriks are from Bax Music and the Oyaide plug is from EBay (Spain, but free shipping).
What did you get?
I have bought Shucko and IEC connectors, cables for DIY powercords and stuff to make cables.
They have many fun things
