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.

I cannot contest that Groucho was way more funnier than me.... 😁

For the signification ask me if you need help....

And the point is i am more funnier than you....


Dear friends : Due to its not justified high price this could be part of the " silliest..... " because the seller took advantage of the very poor knowledge levels some audiophiles have.
Of course that an owner that already spend that kind of money needs to justify one way or the other his " silliest "  item utility.

Is silliest because if we own 2 or even 3 tonearms the best alternative is 100 dollars MINT LPprotractor that is a custom made to specific tonearm we own. Nothing beats the MINTLP and that " silliest " accesory neither.

I think that in some time all of us bougth " silliest " accesories that just were a scam ( like what happened with @aj523 with that Talisman item. ) and many of us did it/lived that kind of experiences more than once and the only advantage with those kind of experiences is that we learn the lessons.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

@isochronism , you're not trying to suggest that child friendly Joe, with all his crosstalk issues, is the most silliest accessory you have ever seen?

It doesn’t even eliminate static.  Oh well live and learn. At least I could return it.

My wife is reading a book right now that explores this concept of how humans tend to default to assuming "true", i.e. default to assuming what they are being told is true.  Absent the knowledge to know otherwise, it is not surprising to see how people react to things.

 WC Fields guy here. That guy.. I use to split a gut about Women, Kids and Dogs.. "Come here my little Daffodil", yes yes...
