russ69 I agree about that Lexicon Cd player, but this was not the only piece this company bought and put in their own box. That OPPO CD player was $500. Lexicon put the entire unit, outer cabinet and all, into an aluminum box and raised the price to $2500.
Biggest audio hoaxes
Often when people discuss audio, they talk about "snake oil" or "hoaxes."
It's pretty typical to use the term hoax as a tactic against another who disagrees with one, or holds an unusual opinion or vouches for something which has not been verified. That's not what I mean by a "hoax."
By "hoax" I mean an audio product or claim which has been pretty definitively disproved. Maybe not to everyone's satisfaction, but to common consensus.
So -- with that definition of hoax in mind, what are some of the biggest audiophile hoaxes you've heard of?

Millercarbon brought up springs again after I asked the forum this question.https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/what-your-choice-speakers-with-spikes-or-speakers-with-a-vibr... I was a newbie and was struggling with being nice to Miller or clawing back. I’m still able to post on the website so I guess that means were still friends...? I’m sure if I flew up into the great Northwest to hear his system he would invite me.😀😀 |
