And this makes it sound better... How?

Kind of like Chrome-Go-Fasters on cars.

Read the description:

The point here is the micro vibrations created by the volume pots and knobs find their way into the delicate signal path and cause degradation (Bad vibrations equal bad sound). With the signature knobs micro vibrations from the C37 concept of wood, bronze and the lacquer itself compensate for the volume pots and provide (Good Vibrations) our ear/brain combination like to hear…way better sound!!

Almost as good as the Shakti Stones (I found this at randi.org as well).

For $485, it'd better come with a damn good knob polishing...

deeder7001 · 5th January 2005, 00:03

I couldn't see spending more than $300 for even the finest knob polishing.

Then what was the $500.00 check for?

That was for two, babe. You gave me a volume discount.

No . . . my shit sounds like hifi.

Cognition · 5th January 2005, 02:44

I thought well, maybe it's a potentiometer as well, and a really high quality one, so it's actually controlling the volume too. But no:
"developed for the mighty Silver Rock potentiometer."
So...yeah...um

Yeah. Spending $485 for something simple as a knob is worse than buying an expensive laquer Honey Comb cereal piece. $0.01 total value.

God you'd have to be a knob to buy one.

Yay! I'll send my order immediately! I KNEW those microvibrations were degrading my electrical signal!

sgtfuzzbubble011 · 6th January 2005, 00:49

I think those people have microvibrations degrading the electrical signals between the synapsis in their cranial cavity.
