Audio nonsense


In this wonderful world of audio that we journey through folks selling stuff have sometimes been inventive in what they claim. In your trip down this road what sticks out as the most ludicrous thing you’ve seen someone try to sell? 
 

I can point to 2 things. When I first saw a Tice clock in a store I thought it was a gag. Next- Peter Belt.

Oh good, another thread complaining about items that can't possibly work described by those who have never tried them. Happens over and over again, boring ...”

How true! Most of these same people either don’t have an audio system that can benefit using better products (cables for example), don’t have the money or refuse to spend money on better equipment, or can’t hear. There are a few sites that throw out the term “snake oil” on cables that cost over $50 but these same people don’t use the $1 cables that come with their equipment, they use a $25-$50 cable instead. So if these audiophools can hear a difference between the $1 cable and their exotic $25 cable, why do they think technology stops at $25? Or at $50? Makes no sense

I honestly hesitated including it in my post. When I first saw it I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Fantastic technology. Then it died like the Sony Betamax of old . So sad. So very very sad.

I bet the people who buy the discs - or really any synergistic research products - also fall victim to other scams in the non audiophile world. Sad really…
