[R-390] "Special" wall plugs for R-390x recvrs

[Bruce Hagen]

Hey guys it's called "marketing" and don't let the
whole truth get in the way. You have to give the audio
guys some credit though. Who else has reversed
electron flow. Who else took ordinary zip cord to 20
times (or more!)it's normal price by packaging and
market claims? I'll bet you didn't know that the
finish on the outside surfaces of 3/4" plywood speaker
boxes has a drastic effect on sonics. etc,etc. I was a
mfr. rep in the Hi Fi field for many years but with
manufacturers that sold around this type of hype.
