If you are, or if you’re just wealthy and profoundly stupid, then I have a product for YOU!

I came across this page of ridiculous audiophile gear. Lots of great links to things like tweeters that produce sound in the GHz range?! $160 ceramic knobs that elevate speaker cables off the ground for astonishing improvements in sound?! Very interesting and entertaining reading indeed! Is anyone in the grey-bearded tweed-jacketed audiophile crowd actually buying this garbage?! Just when I thought it couldn’t get any more absurd, I read this… Speaker cables for $33,000.00!!

That price is for the 8-foot version. A 25-foot length will run you $43,000.00. I would assume this price is for a pair, but anyone RETARDED enough to buy cables at this price could easily be persuaded to buy a matched pair.

Hmmm… should I buy an Acura or a couple pieces of wire… decisions, decisions…

Oh wait!! It gets better!!

Ya know, often while I’m listening to Miles Davis or Atari Teenage Riot, I find that something is missing… it’s as if… as if my volume knob is the weak link in my system… yea… the VOLUME KNOB!

Well now, for the incredibly low price of $485, you can ad these beauties to your system! That’s right… wooden volume knobs covered with magical lacquer make your system sound “… much more open and free flowing with a nice improvement in resolution. Dynamics are better and overall naturalness is improved.”

Too bad they don’t make sex toys…

It’s a perfect example of the paradox of audiophiles. Anyone stupid enough to pay for stuff like this isn’t smart enough to be able to afford it!!
