    I can sell you an isotopically pure copper Ethernet cable which I have personally tested for warm sound when streaming MP3s.

    Normal price, $100 per foot. But I have a 50% discount for AVS Forum posters. And special this month I'll throw in an ethernet cable impedance tester to tell you when you need to replace your cables due to oxidation.
