What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen.

Thank you recluse, I needed that:-)

Mahgister, well said. audio2design,glupson, myself and a few others are "stupid."

I know very well that glupson is not stupid and more cautious than you,  then dont put words in my mouth ... I dont know the "few others" , i speak to YOU then why invoking others?

Even audiodesign spoke more cautiously about the"room lens" without bashing it because he did not try it he did never pretend to have a "gift"... Then dont implicate audiodesign about this tweak thread.... we dont dicuss about the Digital " truth" here....

I spoke about YOU and answered to YOUR post in this thread....i dont speak about all sceptics... I am myself a sceptic by the way not a silly one tough....Dont implicate others behind you that have nothing to do with my answering to your affirmation...

I speak about the silly sceptic who said this:

Well folks, some of us are gifted and can tell by looking at some things that they are absolutely not suited for the suggested purpose.

And like the last times, when you dont had any argument, you assimiliate me to somebody else you hate...And never apologize...

Maybe you and millercarbon should go out and get a drink together.

I am not in the hate business...I hate nobody here but i cannot stand at all someone insulting indiscriminately a group of people with no sound reason at all....

I only dont like to bash group of people like you did without any other reason than your "Gift"...

Your way toward me just right now in this post are despicable...

Answer to my arguments, and dont assimilate me to others and dont put others (glupson) to stand the pressure for you and to be divisive....

Talk about the old days when you could tweak yourself silly and everyone would just ogle at the genius of it all.

is this an argument?


No shame, no argument, unable to speak for yourself and cowardly invoking others at your rescue who has nothing to do with YOUR POSTS...You want to be divisive because you dont have any arguments....

I dont see the necessity to discuss more....

You already said that you dont want to read my posts, please dont read them anymore....Thanks....

Lets say cleeds (this is just an example) says mahgister saw a Sherman tank fly. I take a look at a picture of a Sherman tank and reply that mahgister is hallucinating again ... Cleeds replys, "How can you say that? You just saw a picture!".. cleeds can look at a picture of a Sherman tank and know for an absolute fact that that thing ain't flying ... some of us are gifted and can tell by looking at some things that they are absolutely not suited for the suggested purpose.

Logical fallacies: excluded middle and reductio ad absurdum.

If you want to prove to me that something sounds better you have to show me the blinded AB comparison study with at least 10 subjects ...

This is a hobbyist's group, not a scientific forum. No one here has to prove anything to you or anyone else. If you seek double-blind test studies, you're in the wrong place - unless you're just here to argue.

As an attempt to bring this back on topic, I would say the Hallograph is maybe not the silliest accessory I have ever seen.  That might be the little saucer things Geoff sent me as a prize for answering one of his questions correctly, but even that may not be THE silliest.  I would probably try and lump some of them into sort of a "top 10" list since silly is in the ear, eye, or wallet of the beholder.
One thing I can say about the Shakti folks, those electromagnetic stabilizers (aka "the Stone") have held their value better than any audiophile "accessory" I have ever owned.  Considering what I purchased them for years ago, I could sell them today for more.  Almost as good as buying bonds and better than a savings account....however, if I were really smart, I would have sold them a year ago and purchased Tesla or bitcoin!

@mitch2 , you might as well get the money out of them. Go Tesla!
