What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen.


I was flipping through the accessory pages at the Cable Company and came up with this https://www.thecableco.com/hallograph.html You have to be kidding me. Of all the dumb, idiotic, profoundly stupid things I have ever seen. The marketing is even better! Have you seen anything worse! It is up to us to uncover these things for what they are, SCAMS.

mijostyn...I am curious. How exactly do you define political correctness? Was I being politically correct? I'm not trying to start an argument. I am genuinely interested in your definition. Would you give me examples of what you consider to be political correctness? Again, I am not trying to start anything.
The most expensive Accessory and never would I buy , on the stereotimes best of 2020  is the $2200 Fuses-Each .
Just when I thought the Synergistic Research 🍊 fuse at $160 
peas pushing the envelope. I certainly advocate  getting rid of the stock cheap lousy conductor steel fuse , But $2200 Each I don’t think so . If if I could afford them ,what if you had a power surge 
and took out even 2 fuses ,that’s Waay to rmuch $$ for  me.
Cal91, exactly what I am not. So, I guess you don't have to worry :-)
Now lets get back to the insanity of $2200 fused and $1600 kindergarten wooden sculptures.
Sorry to burst your bubble Mikey, but, the Hallographs really do work - and very well.  I own four, and as strange as it may appear, they in-fact alter (expand or narrow) the sound-field when set up properly.  Go figure.  I wouldn't trade them and they have been a permanent addition to my system for some time.

Now, IMHO, what I found dumb, idiotic and profoundly stupid is Machina Dynamica's "Clever Little Clock".  I bought two and have found them to be pure, triple-filtered, grade-A, snake-oil.  Just wondering how allowed myself to get snookered???  But MD's president is a clever little salesman and that's the truth.

Btw, whatever happened to Geof Kait?  I found his counter-intuitive audiophile banter always amusing - except when I took the bait from Kait and bought two Clever Clocks.  (As you can tell, I'm still a bit salty.)

I am not surprized at all and this device inspired my own experiments....

Anybody with attentive normal ears can listen to sometimes minute modification of S.Q. with changes in geometry ( form of the room) topology (Doors and windows) and acoustical properties of different materials added or substracted from his room...


Anyway who can sell many bull shit non working product costing more than one thousand bucks on a long period of times with success, fooling everybody, save political leaders or religious one who do it daily ? Almost nobody....

It is the reason the device simplicity and evident potential inspire me even if i never listened to it...


I am not a believer but imagination and common sense can sometimes walk a longer way than beliefs based on limited knowledge or limited experience....
