Not cobb nor OFT so there's no comparison to their pricing.

I can't see you you could even say this with a straight face. "It is generally 350 for a cable."

With the OFT you are getting tune files, AND the hardware for ~100 bucks more than you charge for a cable. The value is there for the OFT. I simply cannot see how that cabled is priced anywhere near correctly. That is what you call a money grab.

Can one of you master tuners care to explain where the value is added to the cable in so far as to make it worth $350? What would the cost of production be? $20?

Maybe the cable is made by Apple? Ah, yes. That must be it.
