I just can't bring myself to do so. In short, some of the tin-foil hat types claim that a speaker cable has to be aged with pink noise (the spectrum of which is vigorously debated) before connecting to the system. A few companies sell aging boxes and several others offer the 'service'. There also seems to be some debate on whether the pink noise has to actually pass a current through the cable or if its just being there is enough to do the aging. At that same altitude of looniness - waaaaaay out there - is the $50K turntable where the works float on a pool of mercury contained in a hollowed out lake on the top of about 2 tons of solid marble block. I used to have the URL to this thing but I can't seem to find it. Oh, and while we're at it, there's a company manufacturing (for about $80 each) beeswax paper capacitors like we grew to know and hate in old tube-type stuff. When I do a period-correct restoration of an old radio I hollow out these damnable caps and put something modern inside. The loonies claim these old paper caps are more "colorful" even if it's only used as a screen bypass cap.
