Turning lead into gold so to speak.

I'm sure you are crying all the way to the bank.

Brilliant marketing strategy. Give away five or ten pigeon shot garden hoses to gullible folks in a chat room. If their delusions posted in the forum lead to a couple of sales at full retail, you've made a tidy profit on almost zero investment.

Oh yeah! We're all learning a lesson right now. (For an educator, you should be able to spell "whose" correctly.)

Akathisia, you should send your story, the photos and the link to this thread to Gizmodo and Engadget.

See ya

For $150 dollars, I expect top notch build quality, with at least above average components. You have provided below average components, and poor build quality.

I would be happy to review one of your power cords, in order to see what kind of sound quality you get for $150.

To IpodPJ: I understand you like how this cable sounds, but even if it does, you really think it is ok for it to be made of crap?

That question does not matter, because free or not, your product should be up to the same standard of the ones you sell for full asking price.

First and foremost, a safely constructed cord, and UL listing.

Wow! I am shocked by how a well respected Member of the Trade is acting in this thread. Is this Head-fi or kindergarten?

In addition, are you saying that the free cables were inferior to the cable with the same name that you sell for money?
