The shams, scams and dead ends of the High Fidelity hobbie/passion/adiction


I am not real current so I may have missed a few. The ones I remember are SQ and any other name for "Quadraphonic", Perfect sound forever, and I will see what my fellow A’goNers can come up with. As a bit of a variation on a theme, I wonder what the most profitable B.S. audio trend/product was?...certianly the 8-track tapes sold well.....and ate themselves rather quickly.   

Sould likely have included the second D in addiction...

Yes, the Hobbie should have had the "s" I intended.  My keyboard is old and having problems with sticking letters and ones that sometimes do not work, like the "s".  I will try to be more diligent so as not to cause anyone sleepless nights or ulcers.

DAT tape
8 track
Laserdisc
Betamax
Actually that's not truly fair to beta as it was really a better format than VHS.
