Yglesias was over at his fancy blog being all like "Iraq this, Iraq that..." when he let loose with this:
But rather than selling the public on the whole disreputable salami, we're supposed to swallow it in slices.
Now I can't stop saying "swallow the whole disreputable salami".
Denon's selling a snake oil $500 interconnect cable, and the reviewers on Amazon are having lots of fun with it, just as they did with the Tuscan Whole Milk. For example:
A caution to people buying these: if you do not follow the "directional markings" on the cables, your music will play backwards. Please check that before mentioning it in your reviews.
...and...
The cabling system has a base-plate connector of prefabulated amulite, surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two spurving bearings are in a direct line with the pentametric fan. The main cable winding is of the normal lotus-o-delta type placed in panendermic semi-boloid slots in the stator, every seventh conductor being connected by a nonreversible tremble pipe to the differential girdlespring on the 'up' end of the grammeters.
...and...
I was expecting high fidelity using Denon cables but what I got was a revelation. I heard God -faint at first but definitely Him. It turns out He has been wanting to get in touch for a long time but other audio-cables just weren't good enough to carry His signal.
But my favorite is from reviewer R. Blais, who writes:
I accidentally dropped one end of my Denon cable into a glass of Tuscan whole milk I was drinking. Later when I finished my milk (yeah, I still drank it; should I not have done that?), my right arm (lost in an accident in 1987) spontaneously grew back.
Is that normal?
Convergence!
