They clearly put magico in the rip off snake oil category. I was illustrating to @prof how snake oil isn’t just used with the definition he stated on ASR. That snake oil is at times synonymous with rip off or expensive.
@texbychoice its truly mind boggling. I’m experiencing hive mind not for the first time but with such vigor. I don’t have a dog in this fight. You’re right Amir. I don’t subscribe to any religious view of audio or audio equipment. I use research, data, my ears and instinct. I’m a free thinker and trust audio professionals who make music say in and day out.
I will say it again because it’s worth repeating. Science and religion are two sides of the same outcome. We want to know the unknowable. Science gets it wrong all the time. So does trying to distill the unknown in a church. But what remains important is seeking that out. Learning and remaining interesting in the possibilities. Go look at psychology and how addiction has been treated over the years. They would give opium patients heroin. Doctors did that. Men of science. You have your head in the sand. Being adaptable is important.
I’ve never seen anyone staple mattresses to the wall
