What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen.

mahgister,

I somehow missed who has what kind of equalizer and who "he" actually is.

Once upon a time, Soundcraftsmen was "the equalizer" to have. I was simply hinting at that.

"Soundcraftsmen equalizers and their compact "brick" style power amplifiers gained a sizable following among audiophiles during the 1970s and 1980s."

Going back to Hallographs, did anyone else think that room in the second (large) picture looks like a funeral home?

@mijoystyn,


@mahghister appears to read into posts what he wishes, either to stoke his outrage and/or stroke his bias,

a kind of multicellular Helmholtz resonators....This product was just bashed by another fellow of the same species tonight who never try one....😁

This comment was directed at me. I initially said they were essentially diffusers, then updated my comments to recognize the Helmholz resonator aspect.  The diffuser aspect is exactly true (as indicated by the company who makes them).  I also stated that their effectiveness as Helmholz resonators would be severely compromised by their suggested placement (basically beside the speaker, and between it and the wall) as this is not a high pressure point.  People who understand bass control will recognize this to be true.

Some people are highly offended by people who are knowledgeable and speak confidently on topics they cannot. They can't fathom that others don't have to do "experiments" to know how something will or will not work. This obviously is not exclusive to high end audio, but it does appear to have an unusually high concentration.

"Set up to kill the spirits of bad sound with out damping the good spirits of the heart and soul."

Now $1500 for Hallographs starts looking like a good deal.

We may need to put a few of them in Audiogon threads to encourage those good spirits of heart and soul.
