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.

Thanks @grannyring . I've looked at it but haven't joined yet. You are correct about this forum. Used to be among the best. Now, just a bunch of people who have no real commitment to even try for the best they can afford. just a bunch of whiners.

 

same people either don’t have an audio system that can benefit using better products (cMost of these ables 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

 

Very true statement. They think because their phone or Ipad plays music they are an audiophile.

WTH R NFT?

BTW I had a top tier Luxman receiver in the 80's. I hated it. Sounded awful. So apparently Luxman is Audio Nonsens too. Unlike the nonsensical posters here,  I actually experienced the Luxman.

@noske

So you’ve had better?

Yes. The Harmon Kardon 730 the Lux replaced was much better as has been most every other piece I have had since. The mids and highs were good but no bass line... just a thump of the bass drum

I’m most amused at those who call on science as the final authority, even as they make a final judgement without any scientific inquiry of their own. So how do they make such final judgement?. Pure speculation based on the little bit of science they claim to know.. So, they hold their speculation without scientific inquiry as "science". No folks. This is not science. It is the religion of Scientism based upon the faith they have in THEIR own understanding. Maybe they believe have become science itself like Phony Fauci claims to be

Shame on both of you he is the Troll in The Three Billy Goat Gruff.

@artemus_5 do not get bent I agree with you.

You have a strange way of agreeing with someone. Do you often agree with shameful people? I’m reminded of a politician who talks out of both sides of his mouth. Quit trying to play both sides. It is the very reason I take anything you say with a grain of salt.

Now to the charge of my shameful act. I say NO. The shame is properly placed on the ones who act like the so called troll. I’m not acting like the troll. I’m exposing the underlying thought processes of these trolls, with Him being a prime example.

FWIW I have no problem "burying the hatchet". But this is not something which helps.

@jerryg123 

Really could care less about burying any hatchet....Have a good day sir.

Like I said, BOTH sides of your mouth. Oh yeah, You really wish me  a good day? That is laughable. I suppose you are also what you are....a poser. Maybe you'll go cry on mommy's shoulder again for hurting your little soy boy feelings. I've tried to offer peace & dialog 2 times. I will not do so again.
