Advice on....Snake Oil

BTW  As usual with most snake oil threads
I can see this thread getting either removed or sent to the garbage forum.

If people think there is too little tolerance of suspected snake oil here on this site,  try talking about 3 figure fuses and 5 digit wires anywhere else where at best people will just look at you like you are nuts.

Snake Oil products are designed for the gullible by companies that have no moral conscience. And are making a massive profit from them.

Wow - massive profits! Why don’t you sue a few of ’em for fraud? Get class action status and rake in a bundle of dough! Plus - consider how many of the gullible and misinformed you’ll be saving at the same time. It would be a truly humanitarian gesture, no?

People are funny , vouching for the defense of the gullibles...And the stakes for the snake oilers....

Like if gullibility was on one side of the coin and never on the other....Like if audio problems were simple like their simple mind....

I think my analogy held up as good as comparing an LP cutting lathe to an amp.

You might think so, but in reality it does not. Its obvious that a lathe will need to be vibration free. It should also be obvious that a vacuum tube needs to be vibration free as well. Two things in audio that need to be vibration free. Your analogy really tried to make it something other.


Snake oil is not going to be measurable- and the effect of removing vibration from audio gear that is sensitive to vibration will be. However just to be clear, I've tried to point out to people many times that wire and fuses are not directional- I'm sure you would not be surprised at all at how much guff you have to take for such a simple obvious thing. I'm with you on most of this stuff; my participation here was simply to point out that vibration control isn't snake oil. I like to be able to prove things with measurements; the trick is solving how to do it.
