Uhh, there is no such thing as a whine of a digital nature. You're spewing complete crap.

Any whine is a result of really crappy audio amplification or something that was RECORDED onto the CD.

I am an EE so shut the fuck up with your elitist prick know-it-allism.

Wine snobs

[Valdrax]

Does anyone else see a similarity to wine snobs in this review? Here are some of my favorite highlights.

The lifelike timing and pace the Clairvoyant brings to music will startle some listeners. This AC cord dramatically improves the immediacy of a transient's inception, allowing for an incredible expanse of harmonic information and musical envelopment to follow. With the Clairvoyant handling AC, music leapt out of the speakers and created a see-through window into the recording that held me rapt throughout the review period. [...] The Clairvoyant's ability to recapture the subtle dynamic shades of each musician's instrument highlighted the nearly telepathic interplay among this amazing trio on the track "Whisper Not." [...] The Clairvoyant's signature is engaging, energetic, and bristling with light and microdynamic life. If you're looking to add color to music, fix an existing sound problem or you prefer dark and lovely tones, this AC cord may not be for you.

Oh, the pretentiousness! "This [power cable] has an award-winning oaken taste, with a hint of cinnamon and cherry to it. Clearly the well-aged vines, the robustness of the soil, and the gentle rainfall of the region bring a certain quiet zest to this year's vintage."

Thanks for sharing that review. What a bunch of nutjobs!
