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


My vote: Furutech Outlet Cover 105 NCF $220, with “special crystalline material that has two “active” properties.” https://www.thecableco.com/outlet-cover-105-ncf.html

"Since the entire building and everything in it is moving..."
In practice, pretty erroneous statement, geoffkait.

Earth rotation speed in your location approx: 730 mph
Speed of orbit around the sun approx: 67,000 mph
Milky Way galaxy is moving at approx: 480,000 mph
In practice. (Of listening to reproduced sounds).

Not in theory and practice of the Universe set-up.
geoffkait,

"Glubson, some friendly advice. Stay in school."
Thanks. I took your advice even before you gave it.

Back to Mpingo discs. Anyone mentioned them?
Turntable mats? Yes, they can make a difference but are they ever an actual improvement?

If so, then surely something went seriously wrong in the design process if a detail so basic was overlooked.

Silver Rainbow Foil, the Green Pen, Mpingo Disc (OK, so the price has gone up a lot in the last twenty years but the used price is not too bad), freezing things at home for two days, getting rid of all magazines, newspapers, extraneous trash, Black Pen on inner edge of CD, storing all CDs vertically, tying adjacent cables and cords into a square knot, removing all cell phones from the room.

I met the Mook Bros. Bet you’re jealous. I’ve also reversed engineered a Mpingo Disc. Bet that makes you jealous, too.
