I had an industrial electronics distributor swear to me that his speaker
cables needed to be "broken in", sounded too "bright" until they had
been used for a week. They also had to be very large because of the AC
Skin Effect. Thin wires just didn't sound good.
One morning, as a joke, I came into his office with my jumper cables and
said, "Mitch, I have your new speaker cables right here!" He actually
thought about it for a couple of seconds.
Never could convince him that he was chasing ghosts. But the laughs were
worth it.

I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. How ignorant their customers must
be. I really enjoyed the 4 for $115 covers for your wall outlets that would
keep RFI out of the wiring. Wonder if they would cure RF feedback :-). So
much for the laws of physics.

The people who write the ad copy for this stuff probably have second jobs
writing political ads.

Its to the point where it blurs the line between over-the-top serious and a
joke. $500 power cable to feed mediocre caps and transformers in an amp.
