Make:

• BASE jumping with accelerometers
• RFID reader / tag kit
• Build a spy bug with off the shelf parts
• Computer costume from the 80s will make you revisit DOS
• Interactive light: How was your day darling?
• HOW TO - Make a networked graffiti wall

Come on, get with it! Come up with a line of absolute BS about how felted knobs improve the listening experience and you'll be making money hand over fist.

A suggestion, color code the knobs for types of music. Blue for Classical, Red for Rock, Green for jazz. You get the idea.

Audiophiles will buy ANYTHING if it has the most absurd claims associated with it.

Well, I will second Collin's comment when he said, "because nothing's too good for your audio interface." =] I just think they feel and look nice! Isn't that enough?

Not mocking you AT all.

More the fact that audiophiles will, truly, buy anything, the more outrageous the claims, the better.

for some prime examples.

Makes the Monster Cable people seem downright rational by comparison.
