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.

In my somewhat disturbed opinion, 'The Sound of Music', in whatever format one had to endure.

The experience kinda boiled down to similar to this:

"...we take drugs pretty seriously at our house..." (from the Pills Bros. PSA from the Residents' All Night Drug Abuse Council...Live on 85! ) ;)

I must admit I am rather partial to the idea of having my room loaded with pristine Himalayan sonic mountain air devoid of any nasty detail robbing impurities

pass the next cylinder..

Do we know all there is to know about electricity?

No, but we know enough to use it to capture and reproduce sound waves.

Is there a possibility that we still have a lot to learn? 

Yes, but not about conductivity in copper.

Is there a possibility that we might not know all there is to measure?

Yes, but we can measure sound beyond human hearing.

But you folks know all there is to know, right? 

No, but I know an argument from ignorance when I see it.

But you’re beyond that loosely goosey flakey stuff.  

I'm beyond thinking  magic discs stuck to wire cables  would be anything other than a tone control. 

@jpwarren58 Same as arguing against another's faith. Fruitless endeavor.

Sort of, but people of faith normally have a creed, a well formed and reasonably coherent explanation and philosophy for the basis of their belief system.  

Here it is all a bit agnostic - throw a bit in from mystics, psycho acoustics, something to do with electricity but not really, mix it up with a few special ingredients from the book of magic, and away ya go. 

Yes, why bother when the goal posts not only keep changing but may not even exist?  Because these views seek to be mainstream.
