I tried writing something about this, but I couldn't stop thinking about quitting my job to start a company that makes powercords — oh, excuse me, "AC Master Couplers" — that are "a hybrid of [the] Kaleidoscope and Looking Glass interconnect geometries." For serious, two grand? But hey, that's a bargain compared to the Siltech Ruby Mountain Signature G6 series powercord — now imported into the States at the bargain price of $6,700.

And these were just the powercords. I couldn't confirm the price, but apparently Siltech also makes an 8-foot speaker cable, called the Emperor Signature G6, which will set you back $32,000. Take that, physics! (Thanks everybody who sent in these cables, which are obviously being used to syphon money from rich industrialists to support a guerilla war.)
