                  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!

                                    That's why they call it "BestBuy" - they only sell what's best for the company. :) Clickety[^] /ravi

                                      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. ;)

                                          Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.
