New level of ridiculousness

$8,995 for a power strip???
Stick 8 off the shelf receptacles in a marble??? box, and there it is.
It is getting more and more ridiculous. As if manufacturers are now driven by a desire to extract as much $$$ from aaudiophiles with sufficient income, and not by a desire to advance the quality of their products.
I wonder...

"Creates a new standard in magic sound staging"

Veridian, That’s just puffing. I don’t think anybody takes that type of general claim seriously. What I had in mind was when a company advances a product’s specific claims using a bunch a meaningless technical data and jargon.

OK, sorry, I did not realize that "puffing" was different than making wild claims. You learn something every day.

Oh, it's viridian, with three "i"s. It's a shade of green actually, as in "green with envy" over those lucky enough to buy eight grand power strips. Sour grapes I guess, but green ones, not those purple ones.

Viridian,
You hit the old proverbial nail on the old proverbial head. It's like all the talk about "blacker than black" backgrounds -- the subject of a recent thread of mine. It's all ad copy.
