The most ridiculous thing I've seen so far has to be the little stands or isolators (or whatever you want to call them) that sit under your speaker cables to keep them off the ground and away from the nasty effects of your floor. I nearly dropped dead when I first saw these. People will buy anything if it promisessound. I'm in the wrong business . . . . . . I should be selling $100 cables which cost $1 in parts and labor to build.

...We thought "Gold Plated Fuses" for audiophools.I see that they retail for $50 now. We were stoopid for not making them ten years ago...

I was going to try making these with bamboo chopsitks. At worst I'd have an interesting conversation piece! I'm curious to see if I hear any difference. I have rug covered concret floors so if it has an effect in any situration, it should have an effect in mine.Best wishes,
and buy some ceramic insulators for a buck or two each.
Chop sticks are cheaper and I can wax-on about the magical resonance characteristics of bamboo!

Crank up your talking machine, grab a jar of your favorite "kick-back", sit down, relax, and let the good times roll.

...and have a good idea what these porcelain power insulators cost. I saw an audio publication ad for some at $25.00 US each; the insulator manufacturer sells them to power companies at @ $2.00 each. the audio reseller put a nice label over the insulator manufacturer's trademark. Hmmm, maybe I should unload part of my collection.
