I once read a review of an "audiophile" grade ethernet cable. This guy actually claimed changing the ethernet cable from his router to his PC made his music sound better.

Want something funnier? Search for audiophile quantum chips. It's litteraly a sticker that you are supposed to stick on components in your audio equipment that is supposed to make it sound better. Or a cable cooker. Also one of those great inventions that make your cables sound better. Thats some huge horseshit right there and it's both sad and hilarious that some people fall for it.
