Check out the banner ad at the top

http://www.audioconnect.com/html/cable_tower.html

To elevate your speaker cables and protect them from the harmful
effects of carpeting and hardwood.  $100 each.

And another:

http://www.audioconnect.com/html/tube_dampers.html

Teflon vacuum tube dampers to make the music more clear and precise,
less fuzzy. Tonal qualities are rendered more true and natural, subtle
passages more distinguishable. Three-dimensional qualities are better
focused. Improvements occur evenly throughout the entire audio
spectrum, from the deepest bass through the highest frequencies .
These damping instruments outperform ordinary tube dampers by leaps
and bounds. Recommended by Audio Research for use on world-class Audio
Research amps.

This whole site reads like The Onion.  If it weren't audio I'd bet
money it is a spoof site.  Given that it IS audio, it's as serious as
a heart attack....
