And the list goes on. There’s a lot of great stuff on this list…things that I wouldn’t mind winning. A couple of years ago, I won a professional photography session with a guy in Orange County worth $3000. I would rather have won some vinyl LPs but that’s just my luck.<\/p>\n
I marvel at the retail prices attached to the cables, but that’s the market for audiophile cables. Where I draw the line is with things called “Room Neutralizers” for $2000 from Jack Bybee and Q2 & Q3 Quantum Organizers from Stein Music. They retail for hundreds of dollars. What I saw on the table were pieces of foam core with short cables coming out of one end (Bybee) or small blocks of wood in the case of Stein Music. These products aren’t quite up to the “teleportation tweak” from Machina Dynamics but they’re close. If doubt the person that won these gems would be able to sell them for a penny on the dollar to any reasonable person. Do you buy this explanation? “A combination of crystals and quantum physics organizing the protons by a field of force with the result of a more organic and realistic sound.” I have to chuckle when I read stuff like this.<\/p>\n
I had to leave the event early because I’m still moving boxes and boxes of stuff out of my large office to make room for the new studios. I’ve decided I have way too much stuff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
