This thread is too funny! 

You guys have seriously gone nuts.

Ohhhh......I see what you did there....

What was that website that mocked audiophile snake-oil products? I forgot what it was.

While we are on this topic:

 The Endorphin Ribbon Umbilical Power IC is made of an ultra-pure, extremely thin copper hybrid ribbon material consisting of the purest copper formulated with a proprietary superconductive material and incorporates an extremely efficient micro-dielectric material.

I didn't know scientists and engineers were capable yet of making superconductive materials at room temperature. Can anyone tell me were to get this stuff? I want to make a $500 power cable for my ECBA too.

First post here, just to point out one thing I found "funny" on that website : "upgrades" for a Phonitor amp :

Not only are they recommending spending money on Mappleshade's website to buy a wooden stand to minimise "circuit vibrations" and "vibrations from the floor of the room" (something I may understand for speakers or maybe, let's be tentative, vynil playback - as I've been living over an underground station for a long time I know what it can do to buildings ), there is the website :

But they also propose to replace the IC opamps in the Phonitor with Burson's opamps - something downright stupid or even dangerous as the only two IC opamps used in that amp are used to cancel DC offset, so they aren't directly in the sound path, and replacing them with Burson's ones may degrade or even completely mess up the DC offset.

vibration control is one of weirdest things i heard about amps. it's as bad as believing elevating a speaker cable with something will give it a more transparent signal. i guess whatever floats their boat.
