What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen.

Lets keep it simple, has any one placed 2 or more plants in the corners of their audio room and encountered a change in sound?  The pots could be clay or ceramic or brass or metal or plastic.
That describes 5 different materials with 5 different shear velocities and whose varied shapes are surrounded by the air that touches these vessels. Now how about the soil level and its density.. packed and dense or loosely filled with stones on top. All materials change the shear velocity and reflective angles. Oh and then there is the height and density of the plant.. tall and open with leaves hanging from the top. Could it be a small tree with branches and then a coarse trunk and bark or a dense hanging fern? Do you hang each from a chain screwed to the ceiling. Is the chain brass or aluminum? Do you hang them near the ceiling or somewhere in between..or do you place them directly on the floor or set on a stand. Is that stand closed on all sides or is it on a opened leg wire stand. Every material shape reacts to compression and shear they all speak back to us in our music..Tom

Great remarks.... It is called the acoustical properties of the varied content of a room....

For me there is 3:

Acoustical properties of the material content walls included.

Geometry (form of the room and proportion)

Topology (numbers of windows and number of doors and their location)

These 3 factors DECIDED what the sound of an untreated room will be like.... More than the branded name of your chosen amplifier and on par if not more so than your specific speakers...


Add to the impact of the acoustical embeddings of an audio system, the impact of an untreated electrical grid, and the impact of unimpeded vibrations and other mechanical factor like resonance...

$2200 fuse? They're revolting at the Capitol about the wrong things.

When you have better than a cursory wikipedia understanding of sound waves and acoustics, then this conversation will make sense. You have latched onto only one property and are ignoring absolutely everything else.  When you figure out longitudinal velocity, mean integrated velocity, extensional velocity,  and oh, acoustic impedance, let's pick this up again and add another 4 or 5 terms to add to the repertoire.

theaudiotweak,

Thanks for the explanation of "activated" and the rest. I will have to try to grasp it with a few more readings as, at first quick read, it does not completely explain what goes where. I will do my best as time goes by.

As far as patents go, they are not as complicated to obtain and, taking into consideration the rest of the marketing description of Hallographs, I have a feeling it is more of a marketing trick than actual "patent pending" with any intention to obtain it. Of course, I may be wrong, but claiming that patent is pending for 17 years is bordering on laughable.

You wonder how this goes...

This information is found in 35 U.S. Code 292(a) about false marking. The document states:

"Whoever marks upon, or affixes to, or uses in advertising in connection with any article, the words 'patent applied for,' 'patent pending,' or any word importing that an application for patent has been made, when no application for patent has been made, or if made, is not pending, for the purpose of deceiving the public — Shall be fined not more than $500 for every such offense. Only the United States may sue for the penalty authorized by this subsection."
