*If*, not when. I've yet to start experimenting on these things...

The answer is that you make up some pretty looking cables and sell them
to people that are prepared to pay £50 a pop.

As far as the marketing goes, the only difference is that if they do
improve the sound I'd use them on my own system, but if they don't make
any difference I'd just sell them to people who think they do.

However, as I said, I've yet to do any thorough testing. When I do, I'm
sure I'll post the results here. It'll be entertaining, if nothing else
- if there isn't a difference I'll have half of you nodding in agreement
and the other half calling me "cloth-eared", if there is a difference
I'll have half of you nodding in agreement and the other half saying
"you must have imagined it".

Hey, I just summed up uk.rec.audio in one paragraph. I must be getting
cynical in my old age...
