What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen.

If you dont understand the fundamental cause then you can"t find and apply the right cure. Cuts on speaker cones is only one answer of many. If engineers were aware of the cause then there could be more applied answers not just one. A member of our company has a patent on how to reduce shear wave interference in certain strings instruments. Once this is understood I can see new or better methods of interference reduction in audio components and audio environments. Tom

@theaudiotweak , polarity of shear? I think the problem here is that you will believe everything you hear while audio2design and I do not human nature being what it is. Bud Purvine's invention was so important that nobody uses it although his explanation, blocking the formation of standing waves make a whole lot more sense. It does not work either. Thanks audio2 design for another goofy "Tweak." I can make a pair of those for $10. Nice little antenna. Great for injecting RF into your device!

I have been reading contretemps such as these for years, on this Forum and also on Tweaker's Asylum.  I cannot remember ever even one instance where two guys who vehemently disagreed on the efficacy of this or that tweak eventually came to hold a common view.  More typically, the opponents go their own way in anger, secure in their own set of beliefs.  Every one of us has his own "truth".  Best to leave it at that.  It does not bother me if someone else believes in an "SG" or room equalization by digital means or whatever.  From what I know of physics, at least some of these tweaks are flat out impossible, but I don't care if someone else believes otherwise.  I would be interested to hear the before and after results with my own ears, is all.  Too bad we live so far apart from one another.  In this world, there are other ingrained beliefs that grieve me and concern me much more than the play of audiophiles.
