What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak?

My vote: Furutech Outlet Cover 105 NCF $220, with “special crystalline material that has two “active” properties.” https://www.thecableco.com/outlet-cover-105-ncf.html

Better transparency, better signal. Like you know!

For example, use cork squares to decouple the circuit boards from the chassis, and remove all or most screws. This is especially important if there’s a large transformer inside the chassis.
