    I'm not much for hi-fi stuff on Youtube but that one is quite entertaining isn't it? Bit of a 'Top Gear' vibe going on.

    good to see all the nonsense outed; trouble is after seeing that the true madophile will buy the stuff anyway

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Should be more of those type of YouTubers rather than all the hifi guys telling you this is an "End Game" product only to be superseded by another "End Game" product the next month.

    You only have an "End Game" product when you run out of money!

    A fool and his money... In the case of those cable lifters, if you have kids it would work out cheaper to pay them an hourly rate to stand there holding the cables aloft.

    Now there's a business opportunity, hiring out audiophile grade kids. You could also have them on volume attenuation duties, save on remote control batteries And if the kids are small enough they could stick their fingers into the unused input sockets, apparently there are sonic benefits to be had there. But not unused power sockets though, we'd have to be clear on that, and apply a surcharge for any kids returned damaged.

    d.
    give them a smartphone to stare at and they'd be fine sitting there for hours. Just drape the cable across their shoulders.

    You need low capacitance children ofc otherwise could be worse than having the cable on the floor.

    How would you test their capacitance? That sounds like fun, though I'm not well up on how electricity works. But if it involves using tasers I'm in

    I don't know either but I'm positive that tasers would be a good starting point.
