engadget.com — Man, this is just sad. Over a year after the internet was set ablaze with rage after seeing Monster's HDMI cable scam, we've just been notified that the tactic is still being used in at least one Fry's Electronics store. For those unaware, the rig works as such: two TVs are set beside each other along with a sign that says "See the Monster HDMI...

Yes, I'm perfectly aware of the purpose of such a shoddy comparison. I know it's a scam, it's false advertising, scientifically unfounded (comparing apples to oranges), it's unprofessional and immoral.The tone of the dugg article appears (to me, at least) to be of disbelief that such sales tactics are (still) used. When, in fact, this is a widespread problem spanning many stores, spanning many countries.The goal of us tech-heads should be to educate our friend and family, and above all else, treat salespersons fore mostly as lying scum, until they prove themselves otherwise. They ARE just after your money, and they don't care if you leave with the right product for you.

Last time spent £40 on a set of premium earphones, I put them through the mashing machine. The 5 year old £2 headphones I have now are in perfect spotless condition

Yes, I do, actually. A Brand new guitar cable every week is a good feeling.

I love Frys, where else can I go and get anything I need to build a computer right now? but you are right with everything else there.

Old thread is old but make sure that you conduct double blind tests first. While I can easily detect lossless over MP3 the difference between MP3 bitrates is not as drastic as I once thought. Maybe an absolutely horrible budget sound chip would be grating but if you're spending over 100 dollars on your motherboard they all can output the fancy DTS HD audio etc.
