New level of ridiculousness

its all about the marketing approach of the manufacturer.

regardless of what the consumer thinks, the business owner is trying to maximize his profit. if he thinks a high price will do it, he will charge a high price. if he prefers the volume approach, he will try to sell as many products as he can and set an appropriate price.

there is nothing ridiculous about a high price.

There is no question that the Acrylic and Marble PowerSlaves greatly improve the sound. This would suggest that the outlets and the wiring in other powerstrips are inadequate. It would also suggest that RFI and EMI might not be as much of a factor as contacts. I once went to the trouble of hot wiring my preamp to the wall plug. It was a pain in the ass, but it was glorious. At another time I hot-wired my source to my preamp to my amps to my speakers. That was glorious also.

Presently, I am using the new TriPoint Troy Signature grounding unit. It is expensive and wondrous! I have tried other methods of grounding each component to every other one as well as lifting the grounds of all and also grounding only the preamp. This made a positive improvement but nothing of the magnitude of the TriPoint Signature.

If you want the highest level of realism, isolation, grounding, contacts, and electromagnetic interference need to be considered. If you can forego realism of great performances, you need not bother.

Will be jumping on 2 now.Ho Ho Ho!!

I have read several very positive reviews of this power strip. Does that change any opinions? 8^)

I want one. It's heavy, it must be good.
