Wait a minute! Kopi Livak, is most expensive coffee in the world because of Sumatra's wild cat digestion/defecation treatment. Would it be cable cost 6K because it was chewed by a trained kitten? 

 

Well if the chewing made it sound like shit, sure !

[Ralf11]

 If you are actually upset at all about this, it speaks more about you than the nitwit that spent 6K on a USB cable. They don't seem too upset by it, and I don't understand why anyone else would be.

 

Not directed to the OP, but yes it puzzles me too.

 I would shake my finger at him/her, and while smiling, say "Naughty kitten" and then reach in my miscellaneous cable drawer and extract another $2 USB cable, because that's what they cost!  

 

George, no wonder you can no longer hear differences in usb cables. $2 ones come with a disclaimer, I saw it written on some for sale at  radio Shack, "not for use in high end audio, unable to propagate audible differences". ?

I want specifics on the kitten.

 

You mean specs, it is not a kitten without specs, just an illusion

"Smart" enough to buy a $6000 cable but not "Smart" enough to purchase a bottle of sour apple solution and treat his cables with it so when the cat goes to bite it gets a mouthful of sour and leaves off. 

 

Well, no audiophile there! Sour apple effects the dielectric properties and imbues the sound with a sharpness in the highs! Its a matter of taste of course, but I go for a neutral sounding  solution

Four legs, tail, teeth, and claws. Lots of claws.

Yeh, my little cat's claws lords it over my big German Shepherd. Then again, my little pug lords it over my big German Shepherd.My big German Shepherd lords it over everything outside our home. In this way, lording it over all things great and small, I have come to succumb to the logic that my wife is the scariest creature of all!

Kittens that eat $6K USB cables are doing humanity a favor.

Silver is a better conductor than both copper and gold. Some even can hear it

The cat presumably found some joy in it.

Or didn't approve the USB cable sound.

Maybe even thought it was too cheap to be any good. You know what cats are like -  it's difficult to tell what's on their minds.

First of all: cat = not an audiophile.

Not true. My cat was an audiophile. Bass afficionado. Just check the photo on my profile.

Nah! I think selling hanks of wire to gullible audiophiles for outrageous prices is much more lucrative!
