You apparently never heard Acoustats. Virtually indestructable panels. We measured peaks over 105db and bass extension to 32 hz on my Acoustat Monitors. They were made in 1977 or 1978 I think.

It was Bob Fulton who first pointed this out. Predated Monster by several years. Noel Lee deserves tremendous credit for bringing this to "tha masses" and showing a viable business structure for cables.

I'll agree hear. I some of Geirge's early demos and tests before he went public with this stuff. We were all amazed at the difference the power cords made (and we had no idea what he was changing at the time).
Otherwise a good list and an intresting topic.
