1399457 2015-04-28 01:20:00 They go on to ruin the idea by suggesting you play MP3's over the cable. gary67 (56)

All audio cables are directional. The correct direction is determined by listening to every batch of metal conductors used in every AudioQuest audio cable. Arrows are clearly marked on the connectors to ensure superior sound quality. For best results have the arrow pointing in the direction of the flow of music. For example, NAS to Router, Router to Network Player"

1399459 2015-04-28 01:46:00 That's iMP3s if you please.
Only a truly dedicated Golden Ears audiophile could appreciate the difference this makes to the experience of hearing their bagpipe sonatas remastered from vinyl to MP3 via their valve pre-amps and massive transformer coupled class A triode exclusive power amplifiers. For sweetest sounds, the connectors must be lovingly coated with triple distilled Royal Jelly, only then will the resultant sound from the iMplifier chain give free-range truly organic sound.

At least Gold plated analogue connectors and oxygen free speaker cables have some tiny basis in reality with their claims (they give a tiny net gain in level you can get for free by turning the knob which does give the perception of better sound).

I think their ROI is going to be high enough to justify it just fine... plus, they're going to be laughing their asses off on the floor each time they make a sale...

Must be an awful lot of fun to see just how far you can push the marketing hype!

I believe it wasn't so much dumped as lost, the aisle, bin and shelf references were as seen on iMaps, and the replacement units are in transit via Swiss Post.
(They have got the cable margins pretty right though ;) )
