Pro tip: if a product name also sounds like it could pass as a name for a flavor of malware, might wanna steer clear. :p

And that was only *one* of the things I've read about this week that wound me up!

Like power cable companies founded by guys who learned about power supplies in the military and publish bullshit papers with no good real world examples of why their $150+ power cables do anything more than $15 medical grade cables?

Or that you can buy a used SOLAHD industrial power conditioner for like $300-400 that weighs 150lbs and outperforms audiophile conditioners with series mode surge protection that cost many many thousands of dollars?

I'm not sure if I hate the snake oil sellers, or the people who very seriously and self-importantly debate the impossible imaginary differences. The punters are often self-victimising, more or less.

As a college educated former scientist, nothing in audio gets me wound up faster than crystals placed in a room to improve sound. The continued existence of these "products" boggles my mind.
