Its very nice snake oil always has such a determined champion here. Noble endeavor!
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.

@roberjerman I for one am not included in the "others" clearthink makes mention of. Go on and continue your posts. clearthink has unmitigated gall. First he states the impossible. Then he is presented with a genuine and no obligation challenge to demonstrate the impossible. Then he tentatively accepts challenge. Then he attempts to dictate the terms of the challenge. Then he is asked to act privately, and with the inclusion of legal council. Then he refuses. Then he cry's fraud. Then he repeats himself. |
gdhal is a fraud, just like the Nigerean fraud operatives he tries to get your personal information! he says " Then he is asked to act privately, and with the inclusion of legal council" just like the Nigerean emails scams decide for yourself this is one dangerous guy! Appearances can be deceiving. Never judge a book by its cover. Nothing was promoted. You (clearthink) gladly accepted a genuine challenge that you’re unable and/or unwilling to participate in. And why? Because *YOU CANNOT* audibly hear a difference if ordinary speaker wire is reversed. So what we have here in fact isn’t about anything fraudulent on my part but the exposure of you as a liar. |

gdhal"Appearances can be deceiving. Never judge a book by its cover. Nothing was promoted." You promoted a phony $25,000 USD listening challenge that was revealed to be extortion and a fraud and you then sought my personal information like the famous Nigerean scam. An advance-fee scam is a form of fraud and one of the most common types of confidence trick. The scam typically involves promising the victim a significant share of a large sum of money, in return for a small up-front payment, which the fraudster requires in order to obtain the large sum. If a victim makes the payment, the fraudster either invents a series of further fees for the victim or simply disappears. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), "An advance fee scheme occurs when the victim pays money to someone in anticipation of receiving something of greater value—such as a loan, contract, investment, or gift—and then receives little or nothing in return." [1] There are many variations of this type of scam, including the 419 scam, the Spanish Prisoner scam, the black money scam, Fifo's Fraud and the Detroit-Buffalo scam.[2] The scam has been used with fax and traditional mail, and is now prevalent in online communications like emails. While Nigeria is most often the nation referred to in these scams, they originate in other nations as well. In 2006, 61% of internet criminals were traced to locations in the United States, |
