What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen.

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.

@lewm , that is why we are here, to get our minds of the serious s--t. 

Maybe, but I hear a lot of emotion in the exchanges.

@lewm  Well then, don't get in between Ford and Chevy guys:-)
By definition none of this is serious. We can't punch each other out over the internet. A lot of this is misinterpreted anyway. Expression is missing and it can be hard to tell when someone is joking. Humans were not designed to communicate this way. It may be the reason young folks have become so politically correct. They live on the internet. 

Someone else a ways back mentioned this record clamp but I just ran across the ad and it made me laugh!!

Introducing the Shun Mook Record Clamp at the low low price of 5.6k!! Get some magic beans with it too. Oh it also comes with unique powers! All the expensive antivibration devices people use to stomp out vibration and this claims to add some back in! LOL. Only the good ones though.

I got me some nice burl out in the yard. Maybe I'll whittle me up some of dem burls with the Old Grand Dad pocket knife and sell 2 fer one of the Shun Mooker. I'd be one rich sum bich. 

   "This record clamp is made from extremely rare pieces of dried ebony briar. The extra heavy century old ebony root which were immersed in the swamps of Africa has a unique power that no other wood possesses. The vibration generated by the diamond stylus in the vinyl groove besides inducing an electroflux through the phono-cartridge also excites the ebony molecules, causing it to resonate. This in turn is feed back through the stylus and is reproduced as expanded sound staging, enhanced separation, sharpened focus and enriched tonal balance of the music."
