See here for an amusing list of bogus audiophile items: <http://web.archive.org/web/20080110131210/www.ilikejam.org/blog/audio/audiophile.html> We're lucky, aside from 'F.A.Porsche' designed hard drives (REALLY, LaCie?) this kind of nonsense hasn't taken root in the Mac world, aside from $2k tube-based amps for iPods. And real-world explanation of HDMI cables: <http://www.audioholics.com/education/cables/hdmi-cable-speed> And a real-world source for same: <http://monoprice.com>; $3 for a 6-ft HDMI cable...Monoprice rocks for all sorts of AV and computer cables and other gear.
