This topic reminds me when Stereophile reviewed some not-top-of-the-line Transparent cables with "boxes". The reviewer also speculated about what was in-the-box. I remember remarking to myself "What a bunch of bush league pikers!" I mean, these guys have circulation in the hundreds of thousands and they won't take a hacksaw to some lousey speaker wire (it's very good actually)! Comon boyz, America didn't get where she is with this kind of gutless behavior!
