God, I really wished that these things worked. I am about half-way done moving into my new space and I just had the landlord fix a faulty outlet in my room. Having now seen the cheap crap that runs over 100ft from my room to the electrical closet, it would be swell if adding 3FT of high quality cable at the end of the line would somehow make up for the 100ft run to the closet, but I just don't see how that could work.

Have any of the wonder-cable proponents ever offered a response to this type of sitiuation? Wouldn't this be similar to adding some 12" ductile iron pipe at the end of your 50FT garden hose and expecting that you could now fill your pool in 30 seconds?

At the same time, I always buy good quality professional cables (signal, power, whatever....) as I never want my contribution to be the weak link in the chain. But I just don't see how adding a few titanium links is going to improve the overall performance of the chain.

respectfully,
