I'm not quite sure why, but I was reading the 9 GREATEST "ENTRY LEVEL" BARGAINS IN HIGH-END AUDIO
according to The Absolute Sound.
www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/9-greatest-entry-level-bargains-in-high-end-audio/
I'm not in the market for a mains cable (I think) but noticed how Shunyata was now making a 'budget' mains cable for $99.
($119 after price increase since publication)
So I had a look to see whether it was selling in the UK and indeed it is, from £345.
At today's exchange rate that is $430, for an 'entry-level cable'.

I've checked it's the same cable as there are a few different versions.
Now I understand that UK dealers need to import these cables and pay duty and VAT etc
but is that not a bit excessive??
