    The catch is with 7 billion people in the world, a few of them are going to disagree with you. And most of them are going to fancy themselves as Galileo, armed with the truth, battling the staid conventional wisdom of society's clods.

    Fortunately, in the arena of music playback, no lives are at stake and no one has to convince anyone of anything in order to enjoy their system.

    Ok, PM me when you've got the money. I've got some nylon hose from an old PSU, and some copper tape leftovers after shielding my Telecaster. I reckon I can use all that (and some gaffa tape) to make any old set of USB cables look just terrific. And very, very audiophile-y.

    I'll even sell the finished product to you for $499 +P&P, special offer for you. And you'll have full bragging rights about having been part of (inspired) the development process etc.

    I guarantee that you'll objectively have a subjective experience with the cables, or else you get your money back (minus shipping costs, at the return of cables). Optionally, you can buy cables that will subjectively give you an objective experience, also guaranteed. Make sure to specify which option you'd like when placing your order.

    I think that's in direct proportion to Logitech's future direction, new players, TVs or whatever. Mindgames expand to fill the dreadful silence. It's the ultimate signal to noise ratio!

    Logitech have a future direction for the Squeezebox? Can't say I'd noticed.

    he didn't actually reference Squeezebox in terms of logitech's future. But that's a different thread....

    Their Clever Little Clock was given a "Brutus Award" by Positive Feedback Online. The award was given by none other than Dave Clark, the guy who coined the "danceable cables" expression in reference to the infamous Pear Cables .

    Oh, I don't know, the Clever Little Clock must be a powerful device - simply reading about it has changed my time coordinates. I've lost 20 minutes from my life and I'll never be able to get them back. And it has also had a real effect on my perception, at least of some of my fellow human beings, but not in a good way...
