HI to all
I am new here and looking at purchasing some axioms. Came across this post and just had to share my experience. I live in Whitehorse Yukon and this exact same thing happened to me at the local Brick outlet. Sorry to say i wasn't smart enough to snap a pic. I walked out of there shakin my head. I was just window shopping and the girl working there offered to show me the demo,and i knew straight a way something was fishy cause im just dont go for the whole monster cable thing. Any way i tell this story to anyone who will listen lol.

My favorite is the instore claim I once overheard that the tighter outer wire weave allows the electrons to move "faster" thus making for snappier highs.
"Electrons you say"....."So... faster than the speed of light, you say????"
With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.

The Deaf Monk makes some great faster-than-the-speed-of-light speaker wire. Only trouble is, they keep moving forward in time so you have to replace them after every listen. Small price for such technology.

Are those cables still the levitating ones, Charles? or are they the new, rumoured Supertanium ones?
Half of communication is listening. You can't listen with your mouth.

Naw, Charles; most of us legal types don't do all that well with the special theory of relativity. When the Deaf Monk's wire gets cranked up to faster than the speed of light(tough job), time will start running backwards. If you listen carefully you'll notice that the music is also playing backwards.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

The music doesn't play backward, it just comes out of the cable before you press play.
Of course what happens if you decide not to press play after you hear the music start is something only the Deaf Monk can answer.

If you listen carefully you'll notice that the music is also playing backwards. I thought he actually said you would just cease to exist as the particles would lose structure at that speed? Now at "near" the speed of light the issue is relative to the observer. The observer would see the wires moving forward in time at a rapid pace, but the Monk riding on the wire would see...Elvis?...never mind, I just froze my own brain. I read a biography on Einstein and found he could explain it much better than I could remember it. Shocking, right?
