Digital signals are fair and balanced.

The Transporter is hilarious because you can tell they don't really "buy it" but when they figured out they could slap an extra screen and $200 more in "audiophile grade" components on top of a $300 squeezebox and sell it for $2k they figured why the hell not? There were people practically demanding it on their forums and they could get a jump on the rest of the audiophile market.

What will the people who sell audiophile grade cables say to wireless streaming! (audiophile grade wireless cards and antennas)

Wireless "guidance" cables. Hang them on $1,200 stands and run them between your wireless transmitter and the receiver to ensure outside bits don't get into your stream.

room sized faraday cages.

poo poo, forget the motor, and just have it powered by an animal (think hamster powered), and sell it as 'organically powered', and it obviously helps your music sound more natural, and in tune with the cosmic rhythms nature.

I find talking with audiophiles supremely frustrating. If you attack a salesmans claims, they'll retort with "YOU HAVEN'T HEARD IT!, HOW CAN YOU KNOW ITS NOT TRUE"? And the salesman will have invariably heard it, and invariably be able to describe such a product as more "musically pleasing/wider soundstage/more dynamic/less fatiguing".

I wonder why they form such a weird defense mechanism, it's like this type of people exist to be scammed.

Ask them how to quantify 'more musically pleasing'.

No, the point I was trying to make is that gold plated connectors do have a benefit, albeit minor, in their resistance to corrosion. This thread is about mocking the "tweaks" that won't benefit anyone in any situation no matter what.

At least there aren't as many outfits saying they use gold because its conductivity any more.

That's still a bit disingenuous at best.

Someone should sell an audiophile air conditioning unit that makes the air more sonically neutral. Send me half the profits. I think a cardboard box with a rubber band inside should do the trick. The key is selling it for $15,000.

Just slap a new logo on one of those ionic breeze machines

You can hear when usb devices have been used in the editing equipment. Only PS2 mice give the pure soundstage you want.

Be sure to follow the old adage of using optical mice for optical media, and ball mice for analog.
