If there ever was a place for Charlatan's to set-up shop - its the
audio-phile community.

$300 connector sets for speakers

$100+ per foot for 6ga speaker "wire"

Stones, that enhance sonic purity when placed on top of the cabinet

$500, 4 guage power (mains) cables for the ultimate sounding 9 watt triode
amp - (nobody told them the power transformer was wound with 26 guage)

electrolytic filter caps with new label material and ink for the printing
on the label, that doesn't "interfere" with strong magnetic field
surrounding the cap"

P.T. Barnum is looking down from above, with great big smile on his face.
