Recent equipment you hated, thought overpriced

These threads make me laugh. Over priced tweaks are just that, over priced. You might think they make your system better, but they don't. Once again, ever hear the old saying about a fool and his money being soon parted? Yes, i've tried/listened to them. If you believe they work, thats all that matters. For you, they work, I guess.... I am, and always will be in the show me the proof camp. I've yet to hear a quantum tweak I would spend a dime on.

David12, first off, I normally don't add to these threads after my first post. They always seem to turn ugly, and I refuse to get caught up in that. To me, proof is something that can be measured. I will admit, everything doesn't fall into that catagory. To me, I think thats rare. I have added things at home that didn't seem to make an audible difference. If you do that with 5 things, then took them all out, I think that might be audible. Some things I've seen, but not limited to, would be the likes of the "teleportation tweak", jars of pebbles, temple bells, dishes filled with water, dots on your walls, and on and on. There are just to many to list. People must buy them, so there is a market. I could tell you a certain size block of wood, sanded with a secret combination of sandpaper, and placed under my chair made my system sound better. Some fool would buy it. To me, this is nothing but "snakeoil". Do I know, or understand everything? Certainly not. It's my opinion, nothing more. I think just a bit of common sense should tell you if it even has a chance to help. For the people that buy these things, and believe, good for you. I'm just never going to be one of them. Anyone that cares to throw the insults, or testimonials, go ahead, I won't be debating it.

David, I was not the least bit insulted. I think most things can be measured. Maybe not by me at home, but it can be done. That being said, if you read a review, and something tests better on paper, it doesn't mean that it will be more pleasing to me. (or you for that matter) The fact is, I believe you should be able to test something and show it makes a difference. Good or bad, who's to say? What I enjoy, you may not, and vise versa. I might love something that tests poorly. The claims by sellers that have no reviews, or scientific back up, seem a waste of time. I'm always willing to listen, but i'm a sceptic. Someone that thinks it has to help, probably hears something different. If thats the case, for them it does. Myself, I have a real hard time spending money on those things. I wish these posts could go on without the insults that always end up ruining the discussion. I'm afraid my answer earlier may have seemed like it was directed at a single person, or company. It wasn't. For that, I apologize. It just happens to be what came to mind. The people that sell these things might be very passionate about what they sell. I would love to be able to have one of them come to my home, and set their stuff up. If they could convert me, anything is possible.
