Purist Audio Design Cables - Demonstrates a High Performance to Cost Ratio

What are E bays Social Ethics?

US auction site eBay has paid only £1.2m in tax in the UK, according to an investigation by the Sunday Times.

The newspaper said that its tax bill in 2010 comes despite eBay's UK subsidiaries generating sales of £800m.
The auction site - which also owns PayPal - responded that it "complies fully with all applicable tax laws".
The report comes after coffee giant Starbucks was also accused of paying just £8.6m in corporation tax in the UK over 14 years.
According to the Sunday Times, eBay had sales of £789m during 2010 in the UK at its four British subsidiaries. Using its worldwide profit margin of 23%, it would have made a profit in the UK of £181m, leading to corporation tax owed of £51m.
Instead, it paid £1.2m, the report said.
Accounts for one of its units, eBay (UK) Ltd, show that for 2010 - the last year available - it owed tax of £766,000 on profits of £4.4m.
The auction site told the BBC: "eBay in Europe works with tax authorities and complies fully with all applicable tax laws and regimes - including national, EU, and internationally recognised OECD rules."

I say, Change the law Mr Chancellor. Make this company pay the tax it should pay!

"The Snake River Audio cables come from Idaho and feature a hybrid recipe of 24K gold, pure silver, and oxygen-free, high-density copper. Although my photo doesn’t do the speaker cables justice, they are also stunning-looking, shimmering in purple and blue."

A case of the Emperors new clothes?

 Neotech Cables OCC , The original, for the others, just a case of the emperors new clothes?

"This product is also sometimes marketed as UP-OCC (Ultra Pure OCC) and PC-OCC (Pure Crystal OCC). The former merits some attention as a continuous-casting technique is used in its manufacture, a process discovered by a Professor Ohno of the Chiba Institute in Japan.
Of late, some cables using OCC have been launched in England. These are actually made by Wan Lung Electric of Taiwan, which sells them under its house brand, Neotech Cables and it OEMs for other cable brands as well. Wan Lung Electric is also responsible for Atlas Cables, which are sold exclusively through the Mountain Snow dealer chain in Britain." The Star On Line - LAM SENG FATT
