I must say I was skeptical at first, but after reading some of the reviews I took the plunge.

Let me know if there is anything you guys want me to change in the past.

For every ying there's a yang.....Whilst not in the same department, this should help you balance...

To level your karma of owning the cable [of pure awesomeness], you need this in your life.  Reviews say it all!!

If you pick up that Veet, might as well grab some Nad's while you're at it

That is the same manufacturer as the overpriced HDMI cables we ridiculed months ago.  Never seen a 6 ft power cord weigh 5 pounds.

Here's another of their products again:  Speaker cables

I went ahead and picked one of these up at Best Buy tonight.  Just couldn't wait on Amazon plus they offer an extended warranty.  :cheers:

I plugged it into my P4 and bam!  NFL Blitz now plays at 100%.    :applaud:

I seriously wish there was a documentary about this company.  When you search for info about these cables all you find are ridicule like the Amazon comments.  I just cannot imagine a single person on this planet who would pay that much for two conductive wires, but apparently they sell millions of dollars worth of them:

Finally, a power cable that will keep signals out of my $7,250 speaker wire!

Quote
"Highly Recommended.”

"In extended listening sessions, I found the cables' greatest strength to be its PRAT. Simply put these are very danceable cables. Music playing through them results in the proverbial foot-tapping scene with the need or desire to get up and move. Great swing and pace—these cables smack that right on the nose big time."
  

- Dave Clark, Editor Positive Feedback Online

If it weren't for the drop in realestate prices, I might have been able to take out another home equity loan and complete my system.

Oh crap!  I guess it's time to upgrade.
What are used $7,000 cables going for?

I love that one guys review of those cables. He's the "editor of Positive Reviews Online"

Hmmm, wonder what his job actually entails?

in all seriousness, how does stuff like this end up on amazon?

i have a hankerin' to see my "ad" for a DMG-01 (first one evah) gameboy for $88,000 end up being used on storage wars.
