Argyris
Head-Fi's third most long-winded poster.
today I learned that people sell $7500 "active, shielded" power cords. Nice business model!
$7500? That's the cheapskate option. I've seen at least five figures on those kinds of things.
You know you've entered the twilight zone when the stuff on Machina Dynamica isn't appreciably different from the real products that you can actually buy from people who evidently learned to keep a straight face when selling it to you by tossing their scruples into the nearest raging fire.
I would genuinely like to know how many of the people who sell uber expensive, esoteric audio equipment and accessories are true believers, and how many of them know it's a racket or at the very least have some doubts, either about the products themselves or just whether it's wrong to take advantage of people who believe things based on nothing but their own, easily manipulable subjective assessment.
