The SuperKord Signature-SD II™ is the most advanced mains cable we have developed, in our opinion capable of making a profound improvement to the performance of your system.

So basically it doesn't do anything?

Of course it doesn't do anything. So they have to write that so they don't get in trouble.

I wonder if anyone actually buys those rip off audiophile cables?

Or is it a case of one company sees that another company has made a cable 'injected with ionised yeti tears giving a frosty crisp mid-range' or something and is charging a stupid price for it, and thinks, "hey, we could get in on that action!" and makes some other junk cable with 'crystallised unicorn poo connectors for a better, more magical, soundscape', and prices it at a ridiculous price, which of course leads or other companies thinking that these damned things actually sell, and making more crap with even more ludicrous claims and ingredients?

'individually hand-woven by virgins on the slopes of Mount Everest'

'metal forged in the blood of polar bears adding a deeper, more melancholic bass'

Well there is a thread on here where that store got done for false advertising claims. The original article was on the register.

The TV license is definitely overpriced for the amount of 'reality' dross being broadcast.

Oh god this +10000

Obviously designed for multi-millionairs with no actual clue of money, 9/10 the standard product performs better at the fraction of the price. Those headphones look like rebranded AKG's as well.

On that note

Beats Headphone, I laugh at people wearing them as they have absolutely no clue they sound like ****
