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.

@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.

The only thing I am not sure about is how adept is mijostyn at figuring out your data from an e-mail address.
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.
Rumor has it that many nostalgic audiophiles still use low res electron tube based analog TVs from the last century because they prefer tubes and hdtv is just too darn revealing to be high end, not to mention digital to-boot,  right?  Yuck.
