That's nothing just looked at the interconnect leads... Audio quest fire analogue, 1.5mtr, xlr terminations.... I won't spoil the surprise but it might make your eyes water. I guess if you in at this level you don't flinch at the prices
 
they will only work on female electrons; the female ones having such a liking for gold.
 
Some of this nonsense really does make the mind boggle, but there's a silver lining due to the placebo effect. Expensive trinkets for your audio system can improve your subjective listening enjoyment without having any effect on the performance of the equipment, purely psychologically. It's such a pity we can't chop out all the pseudoscience and fraud in the middle and let the enthusiast enjoy his 'upgrades' in full knowledge of the fact that they only upgrade his pleasure, not his hardware.

Power leads and connectors are often touted as a quick and easy, almost foolproof upgrade. To anyone considering this, I point out that the mains lead carries only pure 50Hz hum. If you can't hear any mains hum from your equipment, the upgrade won't have any effect. If you can hear hum, you need to get the equipment repaired first, before considering the upgrade.

A while ago,i was sat in the barbers,with my two lads,and an animated fellow,in his late twenties,was engaged in conversation with the follicle engineer,enthusing about the "outdoor-life" and all things adventurous.

One of the many things he had purchased online,in his voracious quest for gadgets,was a quantity of "powdered water" :confused:

No amount of discourse,either scientific,or banter,could persuade him,of his suckerdom.

My 14 year old asked if he had heard of tartan paint,glass hammers or 3 speed walking sticks...no joy...

By the time he came to leave,he was quite peeved,and he turned to the gent next to me,who had tore into him,Rumpole-style,and said " look pal,if it wasn't a thing,it wouldn't be for sale..."
