| Your most stupid audiophile accessory Was just looking at www.dansdata.com and came accross this link: http://www.referenceaudiomods.com/Me...Code=NOB_C37_C It's a volume control knob - in wood - for $485! Because it "improves" the sound quality, yeah right.... So - whats the most stupidly overpriced (and useless) things you've come accross? There must be tons of cables and stuff out there for fools to buy - kudos to anyone that finds a wooden cable  Now go away before I taunt you a second time. |

| http://www.russandrews.com/product.a...GBP&pf_id=1063 In fact, pretty much anything from that site. DVI-D cables for £80+, not for dual-link 9mpix screens or anything but for a bog-standard LCD/Plasma screen that'll have 1024x768 res at best. Just WTF? |

| Not stupidly overpriced but http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObje...2.11.3.7.0.0.1 is a 5 quid cable being sold for £20 Not a cable but http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObje....6.25.7.11.0.3 socks for an iPod. Costs £20, just silly. I just buy a £1 pack of socks from Matalan and I can WEAR them too  |

| LOL that volume knob reminds me of that great thread a while ago about cables and how the £10,000 per metre ones "Enhance the smoothness of the bass"  Can't say I've bought any worthless audiiophile junk though  Home cinema: Toshiba 42XV555DB Full HD LCD | Onkyo TX-SR705 | NAD C352 | Monitor Audio Bronze B2 | Monitor Audio Bronze C | Monitor Audio Bronze BFX | Yamaha NSC120 | BK Monolith sub | Toshiba HD-EP35 HD-DVD | Samsung BD-P1400 BluRay Player | Pioneer DV-575 | Squeezebox3 | Virgin Media V+ Box PC: Asus P5B | Core2duo 2.13GHz | 2GB DDR2 PC6400 | Inno3d iChill 7900GS | Auzentech X-Plosion 7.1 | 250GB | 500GB | NEC DVDRW | Dual AG Neovo 19" HTPC: | Core2Duo E6420 2.13GHz | 2GB DDR2 | 250GBx2 | Radeon X1300 | Terratec Aureon 7.1 | Windows MCE 2005 Laptop: 1.5GHz Centrino | 512MB | 60GB | 15" Wide TFT | Wifi | DVDRW |
