What if you already have audiophile ears? Does the benefit scale or is their limited returns for existing audiophiles?

I think I still have my Mickey Mouse Club ears from when I was a kid. I wonder if I could mod those? They'd be like vintage NOS audiophile ears.

hmph funny that someone is trying to bring THESE back. the originals were just brought up in a thread on audiocircle, they were trying to remember what they were called. they originally came out in the 70's i think and were originally meant for grandma and her hard of hearing. then someone got the idea of marketing them as an 'audiophile' product (which i guess says something about 'audiophiles' ::)

). they were supposedly reviewed once in stereophile a long time ago.

A space age polymer called plastic. Revolutionary for sure.

I think I will become a competitor by cutting a plastic cup in half and glue it to some ear muffs.

LOL...

But wait there's more!!!!!!

If you order within the next ten minutes...
We'll double your order and you'll also get a pair for Dog Noses for no additional charge!
Dog noses are special cones that when placed into your nostrils give the the ability to smell like a bloodhound!

Warning... Dog Noses should not be used in public restrooms, buses or fishing trips.

Notice the price. Just like the commercials, only the decimal is moved to reflect audiophile pricing.
$19.99
$1999.00
