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.

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.

If so basic why don't all speaker cable makers indicate it as such and market accordingly? I am placing my coin in moderate cables bereft of over fluffing. Not against high dollar cables but a modest system is not going to benefit. Clutching at straws. Plus no way to argue against the "I heard it and a lot of others did too" argument. Same as arguing against another's faith. Fruitless endeavor. I believe in the eight legged spaghetti monster so there. 

Some people hear better than others or maybe hear differently. Another factor to gum up the works. Best to keep an open mind lined with a healthy dose of skepticism. But most of us have modest systems inherently unable to benefit from the majority of tweaks. No magic bullet.
