Oh, high-end snake oil makes for endless hours of enjoyable reading.
Like magic pebbles you place on your components. Or $950 AC cables. Or
a special cd that you play once that will rearrange all of the electrons
in your equipment.
I've always questioned how $1000 AC cables will help when they're
plugged into a 75-cent duplex outlet from Menard's that's wired up with
off-the-shelf Romex connected to a $1.50 breaker. And I'm pretty danged
sure the utility company hasn't wired my pole pig with oxygen-free copper.
But then maybe I'm not their target market.
