            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:

                                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. ;)

                                    For that price I want a blowj... I'll stop now.
