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.

gdhal, I hate to judge too hastily but it appears you give yourself waaay too much credit. 🤡

OK, I have to go out for a while. Talk amongst yourselves. And behave!


Don't forget your battery powered Walkman.




...nevertheless in all cases above SOD works even if you plug-in yogiboy's snake oil suggestion -- it'll buzz just on name LOL.

technically SOD buzzer should be used indeed for yourself as mirror. plug in name, description and price and see if it blinks or buzzes or simply see yourself in the mirror and compare it with your TV. 
What is more "truthful" - "golden ears" or Pinnochio's nose? I'd trust the latter!

Actually neither should be fully "trusted" without reservation instead why not conduct your own valid double-blinded listening tests and then post back here in this forum about how you conducted the tests and what they're results are otherwise your remarks here are starting to look like an effort to troll as others here have duly noted!
