Quack System Upgrades

Ok, so what's the most ridiculous "SNAKE OIL" upgrade you have come across?

Let the fun begin HAHAHA :) :)

yes, add the gizmos that levitate cables up above the floor

I've seen claims that the floor pushes static electricity into the cable

Again, the post above about poor electronic design is relevant...

and what about the snake oil around wooden equipment stands?

Finally, I am wondering how a $30,000 DAC makes things sound better

I have no problem with Canare speaker or interconnects, or Morgami for that matter.  I did find the Beldon not my cup of tea.

Sorry guys, I had no intention of this getting serious. My wording of the post probably could have been a little better. I was hoping for stuff like Nigel Tuffnel's Marshall amp that goes to 11 (Spinal Tap) or a product like Organlike Cables. See link below.

I was hoping to share some laughs, not serious debates.

That being said, What Snake Oil upgrades (that are obviously not real) have you come across. Lets try to keep it funny folks. I like to laugh :)

Along the humorous line, does anyone know if  machinadynamica is  real

Or is this a "tongue and cheek" humorous web site? (perhaps administrated my Nigel Tuffnel himself)

 I saw a few months back an add they had for beach sand or pebbles (can't remember which) that were supposed to be used for something or other. Isolation perhaps?

They’re real if you want them to be
