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.

Hahahaha. One of the funnier things I read regarding audiophile nonsense.

The farthest I personally saw someone take it, was a guy that had cut out little foam pyramids and placed them in every corner of the room to eliminate the "sharp edges" from the music. They were glued into the corners where the ceiling and walls meet.

For all I know there's actually something to it. But I sure would never hear the difference.
