In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud

I've had tinnitus since I was maybe 4 or 5 years old. A high end sound system is cool to look at, but wasted on me. Those $30 computer speakers are just fine.

I can sell you audiophile quality mud with "quantum mineral particles" for $500 per ounce.

One of my favorite audiophile doo-dads were wooden knobs being sold as upgrades to regular device knobs. They were super special wood with all sorts of magic properties and a bargain at hundreds of bucks.

Does it come in a special container to attach to some huge headphones. So people can see how serious I am about perfect sound whilst on the underground trains.

Ugh, in the guitar community there's this myth that the wood type, body shape etc. of an electric guitar influences the sound. If it does, it's immeasurably small. It's almost entirely about the pickup circuitry and string position relative to the pickups.
