Pretty sure their is a 50k HDMI cable on amazon...

 

EDIT - I can't find the 50k one, but look here - http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=sr_nr_p_36_5?fst=as%3Aoff&rh=n%3A560798%2Cn%3A1345741031%2Cn%3A560882%2Cn%3A4085661%2Cn%3A418466031%2Ck%3Agold+hdmi%2Cp_n_feature_keywords_browse-bin%3A3598514031%2Cp_36%3A138898031&keywords=gold+hdmi&ie=UTF8&qid=1424091856&rnid=389035011

It seems impossible until it's done.

The one shown in the previous WAN Show will be a hard one to top...

I cant remember which thread it was but in a thread I made somebody linked a $5000 audio cable with liquid as a conductive substance.

What the ****?????!!

This belongs in off-topic really. Pm a mod to move it.

Those Amazon prices are fakes. They do that to force the match pricing. 

Our Grace. The Feathered One. He shows us the way. His bob is majestic and shows us the path. Follow unto his guidance and His example. He knows the one true path. Our Saviour. Our Grace. Our Father Birb has taught us with His humble heart and gentle wing the way of the bob. Let us show Him our reverence and follow in His example. The True Path of the Feathered One. ~ Dimboble-dubabob III

The Corning 200ft optical Thunderbolt cable and 100ft Corning 3.Optical cables (which just so happened to be featured on Linustechtips).

These AudioQuest guys sell such expensive cables but their website looks like it was done by some kids.

I dared to see the first comment on this page to see what kind of idiots would buy these cables. Look what I found:

 

 
First the good:

My television is capable of displaying 480p, and I have a 2.1 surround sound system.

So you can imagine my astonishment after I plugged this into my system - and suddenly my television was rendering at 2160p, and I had full 7.1 surround!

Now the bad:

If you have an older HDMI-capable system, this cable is simply too fast. By which I mean that it transports electrons at a rate faster than your system can handle. This has a strange warping effect - and ends up showing you content from the future. A friend of mine got this on my recommendation, and ever since he connected it to his cable box and television, he has been receiving programming approximately 93 seconds ahead of the rest of the world.

"My television is capable of displaying 480p, and I have a 2.1 surround sound system. Suddenly my television was rendering at 2160p, and I had full 7.1 surround!" What the actual fuck? This is why you don't do drugs kids xD

 

Edit: This is a joke, I just read the whole thing. Ignore this xD
