| Re: James Randi Offers $1M for Golden Ears to Successfully Differentiate High-End Cab
More than thirty years ago, Stereo Review magazine addressed the issue of golden ears and magical equipment. As I recall, they conducted some double-blind tests and found the highly-hyped and over-priced esoteric products to be monsterously preposterous.
A friend of mine used to teach at Oklahoma State University. He told me about the cowchip tossing contest they have there. He also told me they have dried and lacquered cowchips in an art museum. There are people who will buy dried cowchip and hang them on their walls in their homes. If people will put cowchips on their wall, is it any surprise they will buy exotic cables made of unobtainium for $300 a foot?
