Get ready, folks. A much-requested product is finally available: wireless power cords. The best cable is no cable, right? Operating in the 7.2 GHz range, the wireless power cords disconnect you from noisy electrical interference for deepest blacks imaginable. How deep, you ask? Like 6 feet deep. Cryoed versions available this fall.

The iZilla Media Monster has no right to sound as good as it does for only $799. Typically, one has to pay $564,763 for a convergence product of this type. My final verdict? I bought one.

These wireless power cords had a natural, effortless ease about them that resulted in many enjoyable angst-free listening sessions regardless of the recorded sound quality or overall sound quality. The cords were also quite forgiving and facilitated the smoothest waves of electrons that I’ve ever heard in any cable at any price.

To make up for this, you need to get that Audio Physics model to come over here and let me snap some pictures of my Scott Nixon USBtd on her bare back. ;-)

Let's see: I can choose between yet more RF running through my house -- added to two garage door openers, approximately 147 cordless phones (including those in my sculpture of defectives), three remote doorbells (needed to overcome the sound levels of a stereo system in every room) and who knows what other devices hidden somewhere from when my wife and I first met -- or an extension cord, the mere mention of which will cause cardiac arrest in 85 percent of all audiophiles, myself included. Tough choice.

Man, I was so floored to see this. Then I checked my calendar :P Those ThinkGeek dudes can be very creative, though.
