The shams, scams and dead ends of the High Fidelity hobbie/passion/adiction


I am not real current so I may have missed a few. The ones I remember are SQ and any other name for "Quadraphonic", Perfect sound forever, and I will see what my fellow A’goNers can come up with. As a bit of a variation on a theme, I wonder what the most profitable B.S. audio trend/product was?...certianly the 8-track tapes sold well.....and ate themselves rather quickly.   

Sould likely have included the second D in addiction...

I had an 8 track it took careful placing of the matchbook so two songs didn't  play at the same time. 
..ah yes, the 8-track crosstalk was state of the art.  I am so old I remember 4-track tapes before 8-track.  Interesting that with the "net", CD, SACD. et. al. the old analog tape recorded then pressed to vinyl LP/album is still the "Sound of (real) Music".
The fatter the speaker cables, the better they sounded.  But they sure looked impressive!
