What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak?

OK, here’s a “ridiculous tweak” you might not have heard of. You know those drain pipes on the outside of buildings that channel rain overflow to the ground? Every building usually has at least three or four. Well, here’s the tweak. Buy a pack of 14” long black cable ties at Home Depot or eBay or wherever. Wrap one black cable tie around the bottom section of each drain pipe, one foot from the bottom. If a drain pipe circumference is very large connect two cable ties together for each drain pipe.

Actually geoff I have tried that and have found the white ones are better as they make the the water sound more liquid as it leaves the downspout into the drain. No more nasty downspout chatter.

I think the real trick is to get all those walkman wires corrected for direction. And don't forget reversing the numerous circuit traces on the circuit board. Why there's a cornucopia of tweaks right there.

Brain surgery for audiophile is the most useful and ridiculous tweak at the same time and in a near future a real option...

Actually, unless I miss my guess, which is highly unlikely, there are no wires inside a Sony Walkman. That’s one of the advantages of the Walkmen - you can’t have directionality issues if you don’t have wires. Hel-loo! You don’t have issues with transformers, big ol’ capacitors, digital cables, interconnects, or fuses, either.
