The $16,900 Blu-ray player

Have $17,000 to blow? Need an HD media player? Goldmund, a high-end home theater company, has just announced one of the world’s most expensive Blu-ray players. The Eidos 20 BD is a luxury media player in every sense of the word, and sports a number of distinct features including the "AC-Curator" power supply unit that ensures a clean source of power that, according to Goldmun "dramatically improves picture and sound stability and dynamics". Sure, but is it worth the $17,000 investment? Probably not, but we’re certain that won’t be much of a deterrent to the prospective audience. We’ve got a quick suggestion, though. Maybe it would be nice in the future to actually include hard specs on the $17,000 component you’re trying to sell. Just a thought.

    It is time to start calling this type of rip off product, along with $40K speaker cables, “line conditioners”, etc. out for the rip-offs they are.

    Here’s the bottom line: if your product is not demonstrably better w/ ABX testing it isn’t actually better. Fact.

    Don’t write in some BS either about how ABX testing doesn’t capture the “essence” of the difference. All of the professional audio and video testing I’ve been involved (10 years) centered on blind testing.

    No, speaker wires don’t need to be “broken in” either.
