My favourite on the audiotwit scale of things are the "audio grade" power cables. 100 miles to the power station, and the last 3 ft of wire makes all the difference! One can buy silver wired mains leads & gold plated plugs.

Oh, and I hope you are all using silver-bearing solder on those components in your audio stages.

For the most part, I despair at the Emperor's state of undress, but it can be fun to watch the deluded reasoning at work with this stuff.
I don't hold with furniture that talks.
