For $25 they are hard to beat.

Oh, my word! Reading the ad I find this:
"Near zero loss on signal transmission from the gold plated plug and cord."

I've seen many uncomplimentary comments about MFJ over the years, most of
which, IMHO, weren't really justified, but this starts to change my mind.
Maybe the ad writer was being paid by the word but that statement is almost
in the class of the cryogenically-treated power cords for audio amps. 

Clicking on the photo for a close up shows the Styrofoam dummy head wearing
them with the phone marked "R" on his left ear. Oh well, he doesn't pretend
to be anything but a dummy from what I can see. 

I wonder if the cord really is "gold plated" like the ad said?
