[sdiy] O/T Hi-Fi Snake Oil

[Graham Atkins]

People are very passionate about listening to music these days.

It just makes me so angry that so many people with non-technical minds  
are being conned into
parting with so much money for nothing and the sellers are getting  
away with it unchallenged.

Check this outfit out for a good example, especially the loudspeaker  
cables.
