Somebody had to make that up as a joke, right? That is not real is it? That is on par with holding your breath to achieve a more accurate sound reception by not disturbing the audio transmission before they reach your ears. How about replacing all the Nitrogen in your room with Helium so that music has a quicker response not having to move all those heavier molecules. Sheesh!

No, people actually buy and swear by these things. No joke. I'm sure someone will pop along shortly to tell us we're all soulless brain trusts or something like.

And I honestly want to slap whoever created these plugs with a trout until dead.

Orange triangle - isolated ground. This is a specific marking for installations with, oh, ISOLATED GROUNDS... chances of one of those going into an application where there is an isolated ground? Slightly less than me having a foursome with both Olsen twins AND Dave Coulier.

LOL to all replies. I'm having an electrician over to replace all of the 60-year-old wiring in my house so I don't feel like an idiot with my $$$ power cables. I think it will only cost about 10K for the project, so the $449 won't seem like much. I wonder if PP&L will run a new cable directly from their nearest substation to my house so I can have the cleanest power around. Nah, the heck with that. I think I'll build my own dam and hydroelectric station on the Columbia River, it's only a mile from here. That way I can control the whole path.

Not to mention all of the concern on the website about how tight the connections to the outlet are. Are we really that worried that our plugs are just going to fall out of the wall? I've personally never had it happen - but I don't live that close to Pompei or the San Andreas fault. If your plugs are falling out of the socket, you've got bigger problems that whether your electrical signal patsh are squeaky clean ...

No problem here. I'm going to solder my brand new 14ga house wiring right to the plug. That f#cker won't be going anywhere. No, that's not good enough. I'm going to WELD those suckers together.

Forget the welding. Just have your electrician run a separate length of cable straight from the panel jam it directly into the back of your speakers. That way you leave any negative signature that speakers cables, amps, and sources might contribute totally out of the loop.

Ya know, I'm really worried that the speakers themselves might degrade the quality. I'm going to have him jam those wires directly into my ears. I will now have clean power directly from my personal hydroelectric plant straight into my head.

I'll answer the question before you ask: Of course this makes sense. It's all about having the PERFECT SYSTEM. Actually listening to music is purely incidental.

Then your screen name would most certainly apply
