My favourite equipment review fiasco happened a number of years ago when
Julian Herst decided to debunk the esoteric cable test done in "Audiophile"
in an another test he performed for "Stereo Review". Anybody remember this
one?

In Julian's test, auto jumper cables from K-Mart outperformed every single
other cable tested, including those "golden ears only" $450 per meter
jobbies...

Nasty letters went back and forth in the two magazines for MONTHS after
that....made for some damn fine reading!
