Enough with the glowing accounts and positivity. What equipment have you bought in the last couple of years that you either just hated or thought sounded good but was significantly overpriced? Dish it out.
Schumann generator. Bought one on a whim. No difference in sound, presence, spatial qualities, etc. etc. None of my guests has heard an iota of difference with it.
I'll add one that is kind of back to front. My neighbor put together a system because he liked mine and also had a friend whispering in his ear. Got some scandinavian speakers (dont know what kind but mid price, some rears/center/sub and then crammed then into corners to keep them out of the way. Sounds terrible but they like it. I guess the lesson is if you buy good stuff and stuff it in a closet so it sounds bad it's overpriced.
Linkster Sorry about the delay in replying. Yes you are correct, origonal Stillpoints, with and without risers, compared to Stillpoint Ultra SS. Again, the biggest difference was on the turntable and there was a difference, but not, to my ears, commensurate with the price. Only to my ears and on my system, of course.
I totally disagree about Rolexes being for suckers. I bought mine almost 29 years ago for $650. I have been wearing it nearly every day since and it still keeps time accurate to within 2-3 minutes a month. I expect to wear it for another 30 years. Anybody still have a piece of audio gear from 1984 which has been used daily and still functions nearly perfectly?
