Simple snake oil detection


Hi there were soooo many posts asking af any given device, toy, tweak or component is snake oil.
I’m not considered to be disbeliever or engineering guru at all. All I know and use is elementary math.

If an amp worth more than new Bmw, I can kinda take that with grain of salt, but if a wire is worth more than stainway grand, I am DEFINITELY sure snake oil is there without even questioning if this particular product makes sense 

So now any audio device can be plugged into the detection formula above to truthfully define snake oil. All you need to know is product name, description and asking price.

The worth of anything is what another person is willing to pay for it. Period. Want to know how much your rare-one-of-a-kind audio component is worth? Put it up for a no reserve one dollar auction, that's what it's worth to the highest bidder.

Also, if something comes with a money back guarantee then it's not snake oil, no matter what the claims made by the manufacturer. Even if the claims flout the laws of physics, if you hear a difference and are happy with it, then it doesn't matter what other people call it, does it? Because it is none of anyone else's business what a person spends his money on.
