Go to the Amazon
Look up
Denon AKDL1 Dedicated Link Cable
It is basically an ethernet cat 5 cable with RJ45 on each end. It is virtualy identical to the cable that connects most of the computers to the net. So what is so special about this particular "model"? Well, AKDL1 is a special audiophile version. It costs $500

There are hundreds of great, *great*, GREAT reviews of this cable.
Somehow, I do not think that those reviews were written by people that actually purchased this product.

Go ahead. Check those reviews.
But put that cup down first!

Since then, I can't find the cat, and my entire set of VAX/VMS 4.7 documentation (DEC Will Rise Again!) (Mmmmm, orangey!) has gone missing.
Please, for the love of God, please, do not use these cables! The very existence of Earth may depend on your decision!
UPDATE: I mean, can you imagine *two* naked singularities, one male, one female, on the Howard Stern show? Not even a loving God could excuse this!

A few minutes had passed as I checked my cache, my router, and anything else I could think that would cause this odd behavior. Finally it dawned on me, the Denon AKDL1 was transmitting information faster then time itself! Amazing!
What is even more amazing, is that it appears to be accelerating. Yesterday (4/23 16:30hrs, when I posted this review) the time offset was about 24 hours, now the offset appears to be 36 hours, and increasing. Soon I'll be able to read news events from our distant future.
Anyway... I fully recommend this cable. $500 is a small investment to what your equity investments will look like in only a few months.
Oh, a few last things:
Somalian pirates turn out to actually be tied to Greenpeace
Karl Rove goes on a rampage and kills 11, including himself
also check Amazon site for cd
Very Best of David Hasselhoff
and see reviews.
Again, I highly doubt that reviewers have purchased the item.


Disclaimer:
I am not trying to compare those three books with the above mentioned products, I just want to demonstrate that is IS possible to write review without purchasing a product on Amazon.
