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...

djones51, your post has me concerned. Are you saying my 8-track, Thunderlizard 3000 radio/cd player and blender is no longer SOTA? I may have to lay down.

I agree that millercarbon's stance on tweaks would hold more weight if he didnt blather on at great lengths about Synergistic stuff. It is one thing if you promote one particular product in a line, but a total buy in is cause for concern.

Actually he dismisses a lot of the good ones. He’s more like a....shill for SR.

Same old bull #### by the same old artists:

  • "I haven’t tried any of the SR products, but I, you see, am an expert, and I just know this stuff is a scam, a sham, a con, and nothing but oil of snake. And, anyone who says otherwise is a shill."

In the early days I had both a Beta and VHS player, the TV station I recorded commercials at used a pro form of Beta.  This could be folklore, but I had been told that Sony wanted royalties for Beta and JVC did not for VHS...hence the success of VHS?
