Snake oil??

Well, on March 8th, at the age of 64, I suffered a mild stroke. I have felt that things were returning to normal for the last few weeks. Now I’m not so sure. I just reviewed an email that came to me from Agon about a mysterious substance involving something called 3-Dimensional Enhancer, the NPS 1260. It claims to cure literally all my audio problems for the low price of $599. Is this some leftover April Fools thing or am I having some sort of stroke relapse?   I’m hoping that MC has some form to sage advice for this conundrum.

"...and certainly am not going to provide you with any of my personal information."


It does not seem that anyone was asking for it anyway.

I think most reasonable people would consider @mijostyn's statement, "Get me an address and I will mail you a picture" as a request for personal information.  Of course you may feel differently.

cleeds,

You are right. The only thing I am not sure about is how adept is mijostyn at figuring out your data from an e-mail address. I know it can be done, but I wonder how good he really is at that.

@glupson.

No worries, shipping is included in the price. The usual Covid precautions will also apply.

For the first 50 customers I might even throw in a free teleportation tweak!


@ausaudio,

"They are cartoonish."

Yes, even the latest OLED screens I’ve seen from Sony and Panasonic are cartoonish and chocolatey I’d say.

With suitable material they’re lovely to look at. However the pictures are nothing like what we see outdoors here in the usual drab UK light.

This question of authenticity, or objective v subjective doesn’t seem to trouble movie fans or cineastes the way it might with some audiophiles.

It seems as if they’re more interested in a form of ’heightened’ reality that no doubt aids in providing a greater amount of the suspension of disbelief that movies necessarily demand.

Movies are basically like life, often set to a musical background - but only they’re bigger, brighter, more glamourous, and far more intense with most of the boring bits chopped out.

Mijostyn has a history of stalking on this site - he was once suspended for it - and that's all I need to know about him.
