It makes me inspired to raise my prices by three or four orders of magnitude to add that "prestige" feel ! ;-)

Yep, it's for real. It make one wonder what color the sun is on the planet on which they live. Check out the following link which explains why (they imagine) the $2,500 power cord makes a difference:

One guy even breaks in his power cables using a "cable cooker." No telling how much that thing costs!

All of this lacks the same thing as religious fanaticism and UFO theorists: PROOF!

Like Cole Younger says, "It's a wonderment".
Like Spock says, "Interesting"
Like Lex Luther says, "Has the turntable got kryptonite in it?"
Like Festas Haggin says, "Can you vinyl boys by me a 1000 beers for to quench my goosler?"
Like Josey Whales says, " Blamm! Blam!" "It aint bulletproof"
Like Payden says, "Those vinyl boys sure have bad luck".
Like Emmit says, "I had to get up anyway with those vinyl boys a prodden me"
Like the sherrif says to Payden, "We got a sweet deal here on this site"
Like Gomer Pyle says, "God almighty"
Like Chris says, "Twenty dollars in gold and a new needle for your turntable" "Clap your hands together".

"XLO Electric was started by Roger Skoff, who, like a number of other High-End luminaries (Conrad and Johnson, for example), is an economist by training."

Whew! Good thing he is not an electrical engineer! I guess we ought to feel fortunate that he is not one of Bush's economic advisors.

All of this lacks the same thing as [...] UFO theorists: PROOF!

John,

Why do you say that?

1. There is incontrovertible evidence that UFOs exist.

2. This proof has been irrevocably accepted by the U.S. Air Force, as well as by every other branch of the U.S. Military.

3. Every scientist I have ever talked to acknowledges that UFOs exist, and that there is no scientific doubt about this whatsoever.

4. Not one single high level U.S. Government official has ever denied the existence of UFOs.

5. Not one single authoritative foreign government official has ever denied the existence of UFOs.

6. And it is after all to their credit that none of them have denied UFOs, ever.
Because "UFO" is an acronym that stands for "Unidentified Flying Object."
So it makes sense that UFOs should be fully recognized as such.

:O)

Exactly! It's amazing how many people don't realize the full implications of the acronym. Heck, if someone threw a pink toesock over your head and you didn't recognize it, THAT BECOMES A UFO!.

Yes, you're absolutely right, UFO's do exist. Do I believe that we've been visited by aliens in space ships? No.

I don't live very far from Roswell and I've been to the "International UFO Museum and Research Center" several times. As I remember, it's right next door to the $150,000 Turntable Store.



I find it curious that an alien civilization could have the technology to traverse the galaxy and then, when they got here, they crashed. Apparently, though, there are some here that didn't crash...

I'm more likely to believe that a $2,500 power cable provides "extreme detail retrieval, transparency, sweetness, very good imaging with holographic soundstaging and musical flow."

"I find it curious that an alien civilization could have the technology to traverse the galaxy and then, when they got here, they crashed." Apparently, John, the aliens were laughing their butts from reading the future minds of the "$3000 power cable and $150,000 Turntable Store" or was it the DNC rules book on voting ;-) when their brains melted and crashed at Roswell.

"I'm more likely to believe that a $2,500 power cable provides "extreme detail retrieval, transparency, sweetness, very good imaging with holographic soundstaging and musical flow."" this is melting my brain cells----------------------------------- need a bridge or a couple of "slightly" used auto plants? ;-)

Come on, John, you're smarter than that. It's obvious what's going on... The alien teenagers have stolen a flying saucer and taken it for a joy ride. Don't you watch truTV ("Not reality. Actuality")?

Flying saucer design weakness---a 30,000 degree lightning bolt.
