Biggest audio hoaxes

sugabooger" Why are you not suggesting class action lawsuits for the other hoaxes mentioned."

You might want to check your facts, information, and data because the evidence is clear, abundant, and overwhelming that user "cleeds" has repeatedly, frequently, and consistently called out users alleging hoax, fraud, and deception and asked why they were not pursuing legal remedies that are abundantly available in the US to extract refund, compensation, and reimbursement for losses, damages, and injury caused, created, and/or the consequence of what some hear call audio "hoaxes."

Because you have now joined the community alleging fraud it does seem fair to inquire of you directly as to why you would not pursue the proper, proscribed, and appropriate legal remedies.

I agree, burn in the pretty crazy hoax. I've never noticed any component acquire  drastic change over certain prescribed time periods.

As I mentioned earlier I think one of the worst hoaxes in audio has been the attacks and disinformation on ABX and Other forms of blind testing . In the scientific community it meets the level  of common consensus as part of the scientific method. Audiophiles act as if it's voodoo. 

Maybe not to everyone's satisfaction, but to common consensus.

Biggest hoax >> ’wife who pokes her head into your listening room and proclaims she hears a difference when you have recently (unbeknownst to her) acquired some new component’.

You know she’s pulling wool over your head. No way in hell any wife, no matter what you say, can tell a turtle from a speaker. If she tells you otherwise, figure out the ulterior motive pronto. I would much rather prefer my wife cheats on me instead of playing with my emotions like this.

It is not a fraud, deception, or hoax to challenge, question, or refute the faults and limitations of the various forms of blind testing including abx part of the problem is that what many consider hear to be a blind test may be blind but they are not scientific because they leave other variables without proper, appropriate, and necessary controls. 


The real issue for some here is that the "blind test" is part of their fundamentalist core belief system as has been noted by various other users, contributors, and writers to this forum and when you have blind faith in any entity you cannot accept criticism, fault finding or  doubt directed, attached, or aimed at the fundamentalist belief itself it is immune from questioning.
