For the 'Golden Ear' crowd....
An Audiophool and his money are easily parted by a good sales pitch.
The same suckers buy $250,000 turntables and solid silver speaker wires.
YMMV,

It makes the audio sound better. Just like tubes and oxygen free speaker
cables.
Darn he has 8 offers already. Must say the front panel is much nicer then
what I build.

Swiss-made? FEI 5660? PRS10? US $5,995? Oh, dear indeed.
Nice to know the fiscal predators have predators to bite 'em.

Instead of making fun of the web site, we all need to be more entrepreneurial so that we can fleece, errr, that is, offer a superior product to the audiophiles out there. Think of the add copy:
"You don't want to rely on a drifty, low accuracy, secondary rubidium standard for your audio recording and playback needs. Upgrade to our new Chip Scale Cesium Frequency Standard and hear the improved (insert audio buzz words here) that this new cutting edge technology provides."
And, you won't need to darken the edges of your CDs with a black felt tipped pen any longer.

These people are amazing.
They refuse to do any kind of double-blind A/B testing.
My favorite thing is that they are trying to extract the maximum "fidelity"
from an album or CD that was recorded in a studio with little or no AC power
conditioning, whose recording consoles were wired with the cheapest solid
and stranded copper wire and whose monitor speakers were probably a pair of
cheap Yamaha NS-10's (if you can make something sound good on an NS-10, it
will sound good on anything).
They claim to like the "warm" sound of their tube equipment but all they are
doing is getting second-order distortion from running their tubes into a
non-linear region. Tubes distort based on octaves and the distortion product
is pleasant. Transistors distort on odd-order harmonics -- 3rds, 5ths,
etc... And this sounds very clangerous. FETs are even order and so are
often used for audiophile power amplification.
The phrase "Placebo Effect" was coined for a reason.

He confirmed that the copy was the original and when I showed him which was which
