What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen.

In general, context means nothing if the content is wrong.

Your remark miss the point: There exist differences between effect of rhetoric in prose and the prosaic content of a word in a dictionary...

I answered your free sarcasm....With a lesson in sarcasm... 😊

In rhetoric the CONTEXT is the main element, not the immediate content of a word...

The context in language is worked by this part of the brain more involved with WHOLE situation than parts or details, more involved with encompassing global attention, than to a small object in the focus of attention....
This neurological fact reflect itsef in rethoric with the 2 corresponding polarities: poetical mode and prosaic modality of language...
The articulation of these 2 modes constitute everyday language also...

maybe it would be easier to decipher if you changed your teaching technique.

For your pretention to criticize my alleged method of "teaching", this is only your way to attribute something to my opinion that is not there...It is also your rhetorical process so to speak...

I then will remind you of my "teaching" or opinion in prosaic word:

- Nobody must condemn ALL unusual or silly products to be useless one save if you know them or experiment with them in the first place...

-This way of creating a thread would not be so harmful, if the OP of this thread with some others, added not to this unfounded general judgement, the sarcastic free mockery against ALL customers that have bought these alleged "silliest" or unusual products accusing all of them indiscriminately of gullibility...




I am sure that your operating normal swift mind will not qualify my simple stating of these facts to be "teachings"...

For the rest i only read english, i dont speak it, then i apologize for my "alleged" bad use of language or sometimes clumsy way....



For my ONLY one attributed "teaching, this is simple:

-We must learn how to install and control the mechanical, electrical and acoustical dimensions linked to any audio system....

-And NO TWEAK can solve that part by solely by itself and NO audio system can work at his optimal rate in an uncontrolled noisy environment...

Is it difficult to understand?

It seems not open mind read that like evidences.....

I am sure you did also.....

My best to you.....

@teo_audio, such negative vibes. Exactly who's life are you describing? 
Certainly not me. Except for my right hand I consider myself very lucking and I certainly would not kick a dog. But I do like lighting fuses. It is that human fascination with fire and explosions. Plus I love the tweakaholics.
They are a never ending source of entertainment. No animosity intended.

It is an audio thread, and writing openly that you enjoy your own prejudice against a group of people alleged "stupidity" or "gullibility" underline your own limitation without proving their own alleged limitation in each case ....You are"gifted" indeed reading your own word....

I am not surprized that you sided like a sheep in the "scientist" band wagon with someone who vouch and think that by a theorem in signals theory he can replace the human ears by numbers ....Without even knowing himself in doing so that he will reveal clearly to all that he dont understand the modelling factors in the objective concept of timbre, calling that "subjective colored illusions" if not useless, only a taste....

How do we call someone who bash indiscriminately and with no reason except his appeal to an elusive scientist faith a great number of people, without verifying what they experimented in the first place, and whitout gaining anything for himself in the process of this condemnation:

Take notice of point three here in particular:

These are Cipolla’s five fundamental laws of stupidity (in wikipedia):

1. Always and inevitably everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.
2. The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.
3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.
4. Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places and under any circumstances to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.
5. A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.

Point 4 concern me a lot.... I must go out of this thread....

In response to Mijostyn:  I do tune my room using both home-made absorbers and diffusers and also commercial products that do the same.  I aim usually to eliminate any nasty peaks that are inherent to the room, and that's about my only goal.  But to paraphrase Joe McCarthy's famous question, I am not now, nor have I ever been interested in electronic methods to shape the frequency response of my amplifier/speakers.  I do modify my electronics and in one instance a speaker crossover, in order to improve upon the interaction between electronics and speakers.  The goal there is always compatible with a flat response at the level of electronics.  As I mentioned elsewhere, that was particularly important with respect to the Sound Lab 845PX crossover. In general, my opinion after 45 years as a hobbyist is that if your own choice of room/speaker/amplifier/front end equipment does not already get you 90-95% toward your own audio Nirvana, no amount of tweaking per se will get you the rest of the way. That includes ICs, power cords, NOS tubes, boutique parts, and various add-ons that closer to snake oil than to common sense.  The ICs, power cords, etc, can embellish, but you can't turn an audio sow's ear into a silk purse with gadgets.

What interests me is that in some posts you sound like you have been in the audio business, but from other posts I gather you are a physician, likely a pediatrician.  Since those to professions are quite different, I wonder which is correct.

Should have written "...that in my opinion are closer to snake oil...."Others are free to decide for themselves.
