Audio nonsense

An Audiophile..The pursuit Of hi-fi perfection. How does that morph to a gullible idiot who gets sucked into the endless number of Yum Yums selling utter crap.

In an upside down and inside out post-modern world where reality television is actually quite the opposite, yum-yums are purveyors of the holy grail.  In the Middle Ages they called such things Indulgences.

Everyone takes home a prize. Which, in a way, is kinda nice and can be very special to a lot of people who are perhaps seeking the love they didn’t receive as a child.

Total Contact and E -Mats! Bybee Quantum Purifiers! Perfect Surface Copper!

Any improvement these things may have would be so small they would not even be audible to the human ears..

Total contact is or I should say was highly effective in my system. One of the most effective tweaks I've tried in my system. For the money $300 best bang for your buck tweak by a long margin in my experience.

Everything I have ever tried has made a difference of some sort.

Whether or not I cared for the difference is a different story.

I recently pulled a Furutech NCF Clear Line conditioner out of my main system.

They have a good reputation (as a brand name), and undoubtedly it "works", I think I just prefer the sound of my system without it.

Before I come on here and start bashing a product, or a brand name, or start slinging the term "snake oil" around, I at least owe it to myself to try it. I don’t have to understand how or why it works, I just need to try it and see if it works for me.

Isn’t that what being an audiophile is about?
