They're worthwhile if you can't find any other way to rid your wallet of all

protectors are snake oil. It's common for people to blame power glitches for
equipment failure, while in reality it's very rare, a well designed piece of
equipment can easily deal with anything the power line is likely to throw at
it. If a glitch causes it to fail, it was on the edge anyway.

If you saw the profit margins on anything made by Monster, you'd understand
clearly why stores push them.

Understand that, Mr. Sweet.

Had a friend who was a McIntosh dealer in Boston. Bought a bunch of
equipment from him over the years. When he started carrying the
esoteric cables, I asked him if he thought they would really benefit a
system. His answer? "Well, they make a lot of money for me!"
