Probably not in context with the entire thread but thanks to some of our regulars I picked up a set of Nobsound Springs. Initially tried under sub, and now my CD 6006 Marantz. Improved clarity of voices, instruments, soundstage. Will be getting some more! Would try Townsends but too much for me to swing as just ramped up what I have over last 3 years....
Biggest audio hoaxes
Often when people discuss audio, they talk about "snake oil" or "hoaxes."
It's pretty typical to use the term hoax as a tactic against another who disagrees with one, or holds an unusual opinion or vouches for something which has not been verified. That's not what I mean by a "hoax."
By "hoax" I mean an audio product or claim which has been pretty definitively disproved. Maybe not to everyone's satisfaction, but to common consensus.
So -- with that definition of hoax in mind, what are some of the biggest audiophile hoaxes you've heard of?
