How Science Got Sound Wrong


I don't believe I've posted this before or if it has been posted before but I found it quite interesting despite its technical aspect. I didn't post this for a digital vs analog discussion. We've beat that horse to death several times. I play 90% vinyl. But I still can enjoy my CD's.

What would that prove, Junior? You think these hands have been soaking in Ivory Liquid?
I went to see what he was selling and lo and behold I see "Brilliant Pebbles" in the list."Blue Meanies" too and I think you will enjoy his for sale list.
This is, kind of, unfair.

Everybody, at least almost everybody, picks on geoffkait’s wares for being, ummm, slightly questionable. He is the joke of audiogon never taken seriously.

At the same time, you have companies that have products with similarly bizarre claims and they do not get that much bad attention as geoffkait’s. They actually have supporters while geoffkait is fighting alone.

He may have a bit abrasive way of communicating and may not be a sweet-talker as some of the other voodoo artists are, but his products are no more outrageous and laughable.

I am not, in any way, trying to imply that geoffkait should be taken seriously.
" I’ll show you mine if you show me yours. "

Look for Mahlman under Virtual Systems and I am there.

  He is not the only one I laugh at here as there are more preposterous dumb things offered through Audiogon than the mind can comprehend. It was a bit surprising though to see GK selling these kinds of things and in my mind is a serious strike against his credibility in anything audio. Beeswax fuses and Blackout Paint are two of my favorites for theater of the audio absurd. Cable cookers is another. I had no idea he was involved in selling that kind of nonsense until I looked today.

  In a way I do admire the entrepreneurial spirit that offers these things to people that buy them and I believe it was PT Barnum that said there was a sucker born every minute. If people insist on throwing their money away someone needs to collect it.
