It is not clear from the photo exactly what kind of cable/
connectors this is (although it looks like a cheap 4C4P
modular connector like the kind used on telephone hand
sets). And the "Marketing Description is not available."
OTOH, "Connector and cable structure designed to thoroughly
eliminate adverse effects from vibration" and "Rounded plug
lever on connector to prevent bending or breaking "
Regular price $500, but Amazon will send you one for only
$499! such a deal! "You save $1.00" (plus shipping and
of course you would want to insure it.)
Note some of the viewer-supplied tags. I'ts amazing that
Amazon doesn't police these.... :-)

Great, great stuff. It's hard to pick a favorite, but:
" Richard D. King "RKing" (Florida):
I think Monster will probably sue because they came up with the
original idea of ripping off the public and now Denon is stealing
their concept."
has a nice balance of lightness and ferocity.
Much thanks,

The milk's coming out my nose, this reference has so much
funny stuff.
And so appropriate on the day of George Carlin's death. He
wouldda liked it too.

Denon link is RJ45 connectors on a cat-5 cable, T-568B IIRC,
and I'm actually amazed that they're associated with this
"venture". It's certainly not like them.
Makes for some funny stuff though. I especially loved your:
>ecstacy godlike troll-killing superwmd ubercable (2)
and:
>all your audio are belong to denon (1)
although

is probably a little too close to the truth.
To give Denon their due, they've both pushed HDMI 1.3 standardization,
(which is what the marketing folks took from the third yard line to
the next county, above), and held (some...) products until the
standards were in place.
They've also worked towards a consumer electronics model with the
firmware-upgradable-over-ethernet and HDMI as standards. Good work,
I believe, for consumer electronics (and for us all).
They're not as light on their feet as say, Crestron, who years
ago adopted RS485 as "Crestnet" and are now implementing "power
over ethernet", but Denon has the gravitas to make a good thing
a standard.
Enough back-pedalling; that's still about the single funniest
web-page I've ever seen.
And anyway, much thanks, as always,

Was it only three months ago this thread was started? Here's the
"other" thread on the topic, "The cable review that John Atkinson is
afraid to publish"
http://groups.google.com/group/rec.audio.pro/browse_thread/thread/c7c7280bacc57c29
And the actual Denon page for this actual product is actually still
up:

Thanks, that is brilliant, and really made my day.
Don't miss the product's main page as well, especially
under "What Do Customers Ultimately Buy After Viewing This Item?"
and "Tags Customers Associate with This Product."

I like that too, but note it's unoriginal, being a direct ripoff of the
classic Turbo-encabulator description. See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turboencabulator
for example.

I don't know whether that was intentional, but it sure is appropriate.
