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.

I have not tried jumping off a cliff but i do not have to try it to find out that it will kill me. Some snake oils are so much more oily and ridiculous, i do not even have to listen to the rest of the sales pitch beyond the first word. 

 

When serious valuable contributors such as @grannyring are packing up and heading elsewhere, the owner(s) and Mods would be well-advised to sit up and pay attention.

I think they have other prioritie$

I’ve never walked off a skyscraper nor walked in front of a train but I have formulated an opinion as to the results.

look familiar?

"I have not tried jumping off a cliff but i do not have to try it to find out that it will kill me"

Silly analogy, we are talking non lethal, audio tweaks here. I guess I just like making decisions about whether I purchase an audio item based on listening in my system. Evidently, that's just me.

Personal attacks are not a substitute for objective data but it seems it typically comes to that when products have very little information available to back them up other than someone tried it and it sounded good. Once one says that there often seems to be little else so people start personal attacks when the challenges to the product come. At least that has been my observation. People take it personally when products are challenged and there is little else they can say in its defense because there just ain’t much info made available.  So the outcome is pretty much inevitable.
