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.

... others don't have to do "experiments" to know how something will or will not work ...
Yup, that's the definition of the measurementalist. Real scientists conduct experiments to help evaluate empirical evidence.



Real scientists conduct experiments to test new science. They don't run experiments to test fundamental macro properties that were established 50-100 years ago. That is called yr. 1/2 lab course work.

That is why we have acoustics simulation programs that are highly accurate. Similar to circuit simulators. Sure we build stuff and test to verify, and small parameters variations over many devices can have unexpected consequences, but the basics don't change.

Butt we also have companies design foam and fiberglass devices because they can be easily packaged boxed and shipped so when they are crushed along the way they can spring back into their contrived shape. Their existence does not confirm that there is not a better way to control and maintain live dynamics in a sound room.
Same old same old crap on any given day. 

If you want new and creative control over air flow high and low pressure drops look at F1 and Skunk Works.  Tom

The stereo times list of wanted components listed Lejonklou Boazu integrated amplifier.  The designer auditions different components down to screws, bolts and solder (based on how they effect the sound).  Sounds insane, but from the reviews (read them yourself) he produces quite an interesting product.

I never wrote a post to condescendingly treat a group of people to be ignorant.... Like you with your attack about turntable deluded people...

I never wrote a post about a device i never experiment with, and after that ridiculizing all owners to be gullible people by principle like the OP ...

This is INSULTING to many....

My answers are always based on arguments not insult first...I dont like people who attack many in one block, turntable owners or tweakers, that makes no sense....

By the way audiodesign you never answer to argument, you distort and insult for example what frogman says...It is easy to read the posts, they are there...no shame?


Myself last day i created my own " room lens" ,because i make my own device,i dont have the luxury to be able to buy but my device WORK very audibly without any negative.....Then the original device must be really good.... I will refine mine this summer.....The hallograph is a diffuser and it probably work good also, i will made a pair this summer...

I dont have time to bash others and clothes myself with a theorem....Try to make one and speak after....

Exactly why I ask that the whole thread be removed. Its only reason for being is to insult. Not anything constructive about it at all. Just plain flat out direct ridicule. Not even based on any actual experience. Just that it looks silly. Which as I pointed out right away, if you know anything at all about sound then its bound to work as a diffuser. Whether it works or not, how effective it is for the price, don’t know. Haven’t the foggiest. But I do know its definitely not silly. It is in fact grounded in acoustic science.  

So the OP is not only insulting, but ignorant. Childish. Its been pointed out, but he persists. So also arrogant. Deserves more than anything a time out. Can’t get one from the whole site, mods seem to encourage this sort of antisocial behavior. But he can get one from me.

Bye!
