New level of ridiculousness

$8,995 for a power strip???
Stick 8 off the shelf receptacles in a marble??? box, and there it is.
It is getting more and more ridiculous. As if manufacturers are now driven by a desire to extract as much $$$ from aaudiophiles with sufficient income, and not by a desire to advance the quality of their products.
I wonder...

$9K!! For $4K, I'll make ya one out of Corian and call it the PowerMaster Corian. Who wants a PowerSlave when you can have the PowerMaster?!

Maril555, that power strip has about as much to do with accurate audio as an IWC Grande Complication has to do with keeping accurate time. Presumably, the person who buys that strip lives in a palace and adorns his audio room with masterpieces of art, not tube traps. Now do you get it? :-)

“Now do you get it? :-)"

Maril555, Yeah, you’re right. Even with the smiley face, that still comes off sounding haughty. I’m sorry, that wasn’t my frame of mind.

I know, I understand and, of course, I agree with you. I just thought, that much was implied in my original post.
