What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen.

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....

In support of the fuse.  Mijo, You are wrong.  Sure, there are failure modes where the fuse fails to protect the circuit.  But there are many more failure modes where the fuse will save your ass if not also your power transformer.  Power transformers are very expensive and sometimes impossible to replace without engaging the services of a custom transformer winder.  Guess how many of those remain in existence in the USA? Your circuit breakers are probably at least 15A in capacity.  How would your preamplifier look after it passed 15A for long enough to blow the circuit breaker?  Pretty toasty I suspect. I am surprised at you.  And if lightning (not "lightening") were to strike your system, ain't nothing gonna save it.

"Btw, whatever happened to Geof Kait?"

Don't ask...he might come back!
