What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen.


I was flipping through the accessory pages at the Cable Company and came up with this https://www.thecableco.com/hallograph.html You have to be kidding me. Of all the dumb, idiotic, profoundly stupid things I have ever seen. The marketing is even better! Have you seen anything worse! It is up to us to uncover these things for what they are, SCAMS.

m. : "  Sorry but correcting a post in a 5 minutes interval after realizing we had made a mistake in our own description dont make the writer silly...

But posting that like a proof of his stupidity surely dont speak so great about the poster...

Try not rejecting your problem on ME.....  "

I'm not said writer is silly and I 'm not rejecting to you any kind of problem in me.

My mistake was to took a false statement, that I did not know was false, as a true first hand experience fact by you.

In the mean time that you posted it you posted at least two other posts and was after around 30 hours  when you posted your statements " against " rejecting.......

Only to be clear and in reality I don't care any more.

@mijostyn : Never mind. Perhaps what is really silly ( for say the least. ) is that m gentleman who posted:

""  I listen eyes open in my dark room and it is better for imaging perception because i....."""

and " 3 minutes " latter   this same gentleman posted: 

"  I listen eye open half time only and not in a complete dark room..."

@mijostyn : "  Listening to music in a dark room (all lights off) is the same as listening with your eyes closed  "

No, is way different because our eyes adapted very fast to the dark room and then we will " see ".

Yes, I can be out dated but even that and even your information you don't answer yet where is the electrical source of the human been, not neuro-transmitters or nervous terminations and the like but the electrical source: from where is developed.

In the other side: eyes open or eyes close is not what determines what we listen and we listen " sounds " generated by music instruments that produce pressure waves in the air and that's what we perceives.

Dear @mijostyn :  "  It is just the way we are wired. This explains some of the brilliance of some musicians like Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles.."

You are just " talking " because the continuous electrical brain activity is totally unknow for the stientifics, no one knows exactly how the brain is " wired ". In disease as ephilepsia the only real fact that a neurologist has is that the electrical activity is way higher than in normal condition but the scientifics/neurologist do not knows what is the source that cause that higher electrical brain activity and the person can't recover his health.

Now, a human been that born or at early years gone blind by natural necessity of that human been his brain starts to develops different paths to help by him self and that develops means to make the other human been senses alot more sensitive and way improved to a degree that that blind human been almost can " see ".

But you are not blind and all over your life your brain runned in normal way where your eyes are open all the time you are awake and the brain did not developed your other senses at the level of a blind person ( where all his senses were improved over time. ) and what you think is a better listen quality your ears is heavy weigthed by your own " imagination " because you want that things happens that way.

Please read again @mahgister post about. He listen with eyes open in a dark room, good and similar to what I do when I want to test in deep or fine tunning system or an audio item.

Dear @mijostyn : ""  Music always sounds better with the lights out ""

That could means that when you attended to a music hall where always ligths are on at the stage and you are listening say the Beethoven 9th are you listen all the score with your eyes closed?

If yes, then you are very well trained about but please tell me which specific and critical differences for the " better " can we achieve and listen in true if any?

Human been brain is almost unknowed  in its whole " operation " and how " react " against any single every kind of stimulation to any of our senses. 

If we close the eyes inmediatly our brain " produce " several kind of " images " that could me different every time we do it and depends on our age and all the information the brain has in " stock " information accumalated at each single milsecond of all those aged years.

How can we avoid those facts for the brain can't do that and concentrates only and only in what we are listening/music when we are so sensitive to any stimulation even other kind of very tiny noises that always exist at our place?

Btw, scientific evidence says no one knows not even 20% of the human been brain.  We can't predict its behavior.

Dear friends : Due to its not justified high price this could be part of the " silliest..... " because the seller took advantage of the very poor knowledge levels some audiophiles have.
Of course that an owner that already spend that kind of money needs to justify one way or the other his " silliest "  item utility.

Is silliest because if we own 2 or even 3 tonearms the best alternative is 100 dollars MINT LPprotractor that is a custom made to specific tonearm we own. Nothing beats the MINTLP and that " silliest " accesory neither.

I think that in some time all of us bougth " silliest " accesories that just were a scam ( like what happened with @aj523 with that Talisman item. ) and many of us did it/lived that kind of experiences more than once and the only advantage with those kind of experiences is that we learn the lessons.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
