"Audiophile" Power Cables: The Greatest Audio Conspiracy Theory of All Time?
Too much time on your hands.  Nice novel, but I prefer the Cliff's Notes version.  Next.

Amazing how many people are willing to abandon consideration of a brand based on a single customer's bad experience.  Oh, by the way, I had a bad experience with my Tesla....
