Yes, I've encountered a few of those people, it is always amusing. They truly and passionately believe in their systems. My favorite product that was being hawked for the ultra-audiophile was a coaxial speaker cable (gold plated, of course) which had an arrow indicating which way the current was supposed to flow. Apparently some "experts" don't appreciate that sound in a speaker comes from an ac current.
