Perfectly illustrates the "Emperor's New Clothes"
sort of hype that pervades much of the HiFi domain..
Thx,Squarewave.

The $30,750.00 opus speaker cable takes is the ultimate joke………….not to mention the $6,820 volume control. I just don’t get it

how about the 2.4 crores for the Chrysler Maybach.. or USD1 million for a svarowsky studded Cadillac (that too pink

) !!!!
also the gold foil plated Paan and the Chocolates that you get in delhi for diwali

pricing is another way of differentiation and definitely not just in audio and as long as there are people willing to pay for it , why blame the manufacturer

they are just catering to a segment

who are really asking for it

I am not blaming the manufacturers at all……..they are the wise wolves clad in sheepskin.

I agree the Chrysler Maybach for 2.4 crore is a rip-off. Wise guys who know automobiles will probably go for a Brabus-tuned Merc / maybach for that kind of money. At least you know that you are getting fantastic performance enhancement over the stock vehicle which is a wise investment for those who have that kind of money and interest………

yes there is, I know of 2.

1. XLO s demo cd
2. JM reynauds magic cd

I am sure there are many many more..but IMHO makese sense to play regular cds ans i really do not know how these will do the job any different

Higher dynamic range and extra energy at audio frequency extremes, so that the tweeter and woofer works more than that with normal music. The same effect can be had by playing some indian poop music:)

yeah and i am sure it would be so melodious to listen during the breakin process

i think pink noice does not really cover the lower and higher registers..

heavy metal is perhaps the best to play it but then you must either be a metal fan OR you prefer not being in the same area during the breakin process !!

a phantom the ultimate in car symbols

bentleys i guess have a more square and less angular grill , but there are lots of similiarities with the Arnage more due to their similiar clienteile

Talk of bentleys without chrome lips on the grill and of course flying lady is pure Rolls Royce.....

All these are waste of time for me.. Please a Chrysler Viper Venom for me...ohh without power steering ofcourse and 8.5 litre V10...sounds close to my Klipsch
