Yes, but they will let you pay for it over 3 years, so it must be worth buying! :laugh:

That's nothing. I've seen "audiophile" interconnects and speaker cables for 10000$.

At least they are for analog data and it stands a chance of improving things... :laugh:

Now that's just taking the urine! "cryogenic treatment"? "more basic wiring"? £600? For a six way mains extension? :omg: :cough: You don't happen to have their customer list, do you? I have a few bridges I would like to sell... :cough:

Have a laugh at What Hifi sometime. This kind of idiocy is why I don't go to the Bristol Audio Visual Show - keeping a straight face would kill me. :laugh:

What's your problem? $100 per foot, and $50 per plug, and .6' extra for free because you are such a good customer! We also offer a HDMI cable subscription - the first Gigabyte is free!

I love the customer review by "Peachy". The audio engineer who thinks this is worth it because "the bass is more punchy". COME ON YOU MORON!! It's a DIGITAL SIGNAL carrying data to tell a computer how to recreate the sound! Compare that to a $6 cable and the data gets there the same way! Yeah, I know it was a bogus review. It starts out legit sounding though.

All of the reviews are sarcasm, with the exception of the guy who 1-starred the product. He obviously didn't get the joke. ;)
