New Synergistic Product: Tuning Discs

Ted has criticised me for being a sock puppet member of an objectivist hit squad left over from his cable wars with Gene from Audioholics. Nothing could be further from the truth. Ted loves to label people, including those with disabilities, as well as delete posts and entire threads in order to cover his tracks.

I have never criticised Ted’s products, only his unsavoury behaviour and some of the patent nonsense used in their promotion. If you search my posts you will see that I have called out GeorgeHiFi for his obsessive war on fuses on multiple occasions.

If you sell a product and it works, it works, if it doesn’t it doesn’t - let a product stand on its merits alone. Isn’t that what subjectivism is all about? There is no need for pseudo scientific psychobabble invoking the spectres of quantum science and Nikola Tesla to sell a product.

The referenced video brings into the mainstream things that have been known in science for decades and is relevant to the discussion at hand.

I happen to own several Bybee devices that work the manner described, by interacting with the surrounding electrical field. I have subsequently found these devices to be extremely effective, The improvements they offer has been totally disproportionate to the outlay. The explanation given for their functioning is beyond bizarre, but the point is, they work.

But any minerals , any of them affect the S.Q.

mahgister, I have been using crystals in my listening rooms for over two decades now, and do not discuss it as it seems too fringe for most. Your research has paralleled mine in that I have found the results can often be negative. It took me years to find some sort of repeatable pattern in their usage. The impacts can be quite profound when applied intelligently.

I believe the mechanism at play is the one under discussion at present.

Placebo effect is one thing....Nocebo effect work too...

If someone decided that some change in his system cannot affect the sound his brain will CONFORM the sensory apparatus and will negate the effect of the change which will not be observed not even registered ...

@mahgister you raise a very important point that is overlooked by many. Expectation bias works in both directions.

@wesheadley does raise a valid point that I do find disturbing, and that is the ongoing censorship of objectivist views that have been posted on this thread. It is rather deflating to read a post critiquing another post which is no longer available to read. While I do not agree with many of those statements that have been made, I feel that the constant deletion of posts that may be contrary to any particular philosophy or view is not conducive to informed debate on any issue.

I realise that this entire thread was taken down at one point, and can only surmise that there must be censors out there that span the entire audio political spectrum. In my view it would be nice if we could use debate as a preferential mode of expression.

We have zero capability of assessing, evaluating or deciding for ourselves, right?

then why does something contrary to your views have to be removed from sight if you are so critically astute?

Guess you are not an audiophile? 

another critically robust conclusion drawn from three brief paragraphs of text. Why not try reading my posts before you put your foot in your mouth again..

not throwing all those ideas in the book burning pile 

try looking in the mirror

 no one can possibly know whether a new addition (ie: some kind of disc, crystal, fuse, interconnect, cable, etc)  will make a difference, in their system and room, with their media and to their ears, without trying them for themselves.

Amen

yeah, using debate as a preferential mode of expression to censorship, really threatening to some it would seem, good to see you go @thyname 

please be good to your promise..

my most utter and sincere apologiea, A lesson that I should wear my reading glasses at all times.

The issue with georgeshifi was he thought things should be free or inexpensive

the real issue with georghifi was, in Ozziespeak, that he had a kangaroo or two loose in the top paddock - OCD fuelled by a strong NPD drove him to pasting basically the same hate fuelled post multiple times on any thread mentioning the word fuse; to the extent he was ultimately banned from this forum. However, in his own mind George was always convinced he was saving the world from the tyranny of exploitation.

Unfortunately George did not have exclusive ownership of NPD, nor the ability to post ongoing hate fuelled rants.
