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

As has been written earlier, I find it hard to accept a little metal box that sells for $50,000 has the same amount of technology, testing, and time invested of a similarly priced Mercedes. Or that a record clamp is a technological marvel enough to cost $4K.

Adam Smith wrote that something is worth whatever you pay for it and I can agree with it, but many of the tweaks out now - the ones costing many thousands of dollars, seem simply like trinkets designed to assure those who can afford them that it's okay to afford them.
