It's funny how sometimes a frenzy will be created by the opinions of a few. Remember that Radio Shack portable CD player, the CD-3400, sometime back in the 1990s? It got plenty of lather in the press as "a giant killer", and I confess to buying in, and buying one when they went on sale.
Ho hum. I got my use out of it as a portable, but in my main system it was nothing special.
Thanks again for letting us know your results.

I gave my 3400 away as I remember.....within a couple of months.
Thanks! Yeah, the Rat Shack CD player is a good example. Some others include Art Dudley's magnet wire interconnects that he wrote about back in the Listener magazine days; the Home Depot speaker wire craze 10 or so years ago; and there was some really cheap A/V hookup interconnect that was a big buzz 10 or 15 years ago (forget the name right now). I tried them all!
The bottom line is none of these things was a rip-off and the people praising them had good intentions I am sure. We are all looking for a bargain. But it is easy to get carried away with "group think" enthusiasm. Plus with cables in particular different people have different reactions to any given cable, so even a very good cable isn't going to be preferred by all people in all systems.
