The sound of pretention

(Attention hoiho! This might keep you amused for a while...)

I don't normally just repost Boing Boing. However, when their Snarky Amazon reviews for Denon's dumb-ass $500 Ethernet cable article leads to such pure gold as said reviews, I can't really resist.

Quote: "After I took delivery of my $500 Denon AKDL1 Cat-5 uber-cable, Al Gore was mysteriously drawn to my home, where he pronounced that Global Warming had been suspended in my vicinity."

Good, isn't it?

We've been laughing at this over on Pink Fish, and uk.misc for a while.

My fave is: "If I could use a rusty boxcutter to carve a new orifice in my body that's compatible with this link cable, I would already be doing it. I can just imagine the pure musical goodness that would flow through this cable into the wound and fill me completely -- like white, holy light."

I should've guessed you'd already seen it. On an audiophile, note, interested in this tone arm, at all? (http://users.livejournal.com/_nicolai_/182279.html)

Oh, I might have been interested a few days ago, before I bought an Ittok...

S'a nice arm the Lustre, though.
