Furutech Thinks You are Stupid Enough to Buy an $1800 Power Cable
You may recognize Furutech as the premier purveyors of all things strange and overpriced. They have a rep to maintain—which is why they are attempting to sell what may be "the Most Sophisticated Power Cord and Connectors in the World" for an absurd price of $1800. Thanks to their FI-50(R) IEC and FI-50M(R) Piezo Ceramic series connectors, that sum will buy you power so clean, it practically sparkles. You would think that no one would be crazy enough to drop this kind of coin on a cable—but that is where you would be wrong my friend. [Furutech via Boing Boing Gadgets]

Furutech DFV-1 LP Flattener Irons Your Warped Vinyl
We've known Furutech to build some crazy home theater accessories like the DeMag, so it doesn't surprise us that they also make the DFV-1, a vinyl LP flattener that relies on precision heating and cooling to get the job done. For $1,480, it might be overkill for repairing my now unplayable Christmas in the Stars Star Wars Christmas album. Maybe I should try the $12 internet home remedy first, or just buy a good one on eBay. [Furutech via Crave] More »

CES 2007: Furutech DeMag Demagnetizes Your Money Away
Furutech's DeMag devices manages to demagnetize any kind of disc-shaped media in order to eliminate "resolution-sapping magnetic interference" from your CDs, DVDs, SACDs, and DVD-As. Maybe we're not understanding this correctly, because CESWeb gave it a Best of Innovations 2007 award, but can someone tell me why does optical media need to be demagnetized? A simple Google search for demagnetizing optical media gives Furutech as the most of the top 20 results. Why? More »
