@mapman it's misleading to one single man.
Simple snake oil detection
Hi there were soooo many posts asking af any given device, toy, tweak or component is snake oil.
I’m not considered to be disbeliever or engineering guru at all. All I know and use is elementary math.
If an amp worth more than new Bmw, I can kinda take that with grain of salt, but if a wire is worth more than stainway grand, I am DEFINITELY sure snake oil is there without even questioning if this particular product makes sense
So now any audio device can be plugged into the detection formula above to truthfully define snake oil. All you need to know is product name, description and asking price.

Real good price on snake oil! https://www.pharmapacks.com/products.php?product=EKO-Snake-Oil-1-oz&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIkY63zIP82Q... |
yeah, like what's wrong with snake oil? We have this hippie pharmacy here that sells all kinds of homeopathic remedies. Some are pretty funny. My wife wanted some product for some ailment and I went with her- the stuff cured everything, from boils, to depression, to hair loss, etc. They still make stuff like this. BTW, the bottle of stuff wasn't cheap, but I didn't try it on my stereo. :) |
Why are there so many threads like this? Could it be that the poster is afflicted by a nagging doubt in the back of his brain, that his cherished theories on audio may be incorrect? The certitude of the post hints at a need to overcompensate. This is how we attempt to modulate our blood pressures and our digestive tracts in trying times. |
