Jonathan Margolis, Financial Times 'Technopolis' columnist extraordinaire, sorts me out

Margolis's column in the FT's "How To Spend It" magazine is my favorite feature in the paper.

Therefore I am doubly appalled to have messed up my facts in my July 13, 2008 post headlined "World's most expensive AV cable," in which I attributed this claim to Margolis's FT column of the previous day.

Margolis wrote back, "The information that I made this erroneous claim is itself erroneous! It's a fantasy. I made no such claim."

He's correct.

Here's what he wrote: "I must put in a plug (ha ha) for the cables that I was sent with the speakers, from Nordost (www.nordost.com), whose cables can cost up to £16,500 a pair. These were from its Red Dawn range, at a more sensible £575 for a 2-metre pair, worth it to give such magnificent speakers a fair chance."

Note that nowhere did he address the matter of the world's most expensive AV cable.

My apology to Margolis for my muck-up.
