I recall an ad for a 'double-helix, special'
6-foot power cord going for $500 (or more) claiming that it would make your main power
amplifier sound better with better mains power - that's about the time I started
calling them "audio-fools"
A quick search of these revealed a power cord at 2.5 meters going for $27,000 from
Siltech Cables or a Nordost Odin Gold power cord of 1.25 meters for $35,000 in a review
from November, 2021. I guess I am in the wrong business (or am too honest!)

outlet.

If I knew that this stuff wasn't real, I'd figure that it was an April
Fool's prank.
