Brilliant technological breakthrough

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

This is a stroke of genius. I'm amazed nobody though of it before.

This is the clever bit-

Additionally, signal directional markings are provided for optimum signal transfer.

Here's the picture so you can see what they mean-



You see? They've got little arrows printed on the cables so that the signal doesn't get confused and try to turn around.

Snake oil alert, but you already knew that.

Those direction marks are like a Zen koan, only insulting.

Nike should steal the idea and put the same markers on their running shoes to stop athletes recording slower times by running in the wrong direction.

The stroke of genius is the price tag.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

Good, isn't it? They should add the tag-line "You need this because you're gullible."

Randi had a challenge out on that one. No takers as usual of course.

This poster has the right approach:

"Good on Denon for tapping into what surely is a very large market of the kind of people who--and this is the important point--are quite happy to shell out $500 for a visually attractive, expensive cable that makes a clear statement about their lifestyle priorites. It's a perfect adjunct to the latest-model Blackberry they only know how to use as a cellphone; the in-dash GPS to help them navigate down to the corner store and back; the big, shiny, exhaust-spewing SUV that they would never dare take off-road or use for any purpose other than that of a small passenger car; the flashy Rolex that actually does indicate the time as well as a bargain bin number from Wal-Mart. Yes, there is definitely a market for this kind of product..."

Especially the part about those who use GPS to navigate to their corner store. So true!! Just so they can have one.

The best part is this

AK-DL1 will bring out all the nuances in digital audio reproduction

Great, like there will be any difference in the sound output, since the signal is digital...
