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...

You mean I DIDN'T get "the best deal in the universe"?
I'm disappointed!
And who knows? This power strip could BE "magical" to someone!

"You mean I DIDN'T get "the best deal in the universe”?”

You might have; it’s just hard to verify. :-)

The marble didn't match the African hardwoods in the listening room, so I use mine in the kitchen to plug the coffee maker into. Best power strip I ever had. Great WAF.

Btw, you would have to be a fool to pay retail. If your a shrewd negotiator, you can get them down to $8,000. I got mine thrown in for buying the $300,000 system. Pretty slick.

Viridian,
I stand corrected. It's puffing copy.

the problem with "ridiculous", "overpriced" and other connotations, is that one person's example of extravagence or a poor value is another person's example of a fair price or an acceptable price.

i think each of us has different priorities, which influence our estimation as to what constitutes "value".
