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.

"Why on gods green earth would I waste money on poop I know for a fact does nothing except twist the mind of those susceptible to such rubbish."

That's my point, you wouldn't, as you already know it won't work even though you haven't tried it. It is more comfortable for you, God forbid you could be wrong, right?

Arrows on cables. 

And why should I buy something because someone says that is the only way to form a valid opinion? Like saying measurements are all that matter. Common sense should prevail. And if you start behaving like Chistopher Lloyd take a break. 

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?

This is something that children want to do at Disneyland or in the candy/toy section at the shops.

As adults, we can normally acknowledge this desire in ourselves at times and make an informed and intelligent decision.  Or not.

How can one formulate an opinion on something they have never tried.

I form these opinions everyday. I’ve never walked off a skyscraper nor walked in front of a train but I have formulated an opinion as to the results. The efficacy of these idiotic contraptions take the same level of common sense.
