$1600 speaker wires?

I remember years ago blind testing six home cables with a group. We listened to a couple of different pieces of music from a then new format called Compact Disc through each of the cables (it was a while ago!). They ranged from twisted wires from Radio Shack to some “liquid filled” $2000 cables. The liquid filled cables did come in first amongst the group. The Radio Shack I think came in third or fourth. Some of the other cables cost a few hundred bucks. The results of the test amazed me more than the liquid filled cables.
