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.

Hi mijostyn,
Yes, It's much more fun to have things in common. I was fortunate to see Frank perform twice. He has so much music, and I only have a small sampling.
Grand Wazoo
Overnight Sensation
200 Motels
Zappa Wazoo
We're only in it for the Money
Just Another Band from LA
Shut Up and Play yer Guitar
Hot Rats
Live at the Fillmore 
 
lewm,
All of his silly (but clever) lyrics aside, Frank Zappa was very creative and loved to move out in different directions and try different things. Try some early things like Freak Out, or them later like Overnight Sensation. A        more instrumental album that is a real keeper is The Grand Wazoo. I listen to it frequently. 
Frank was really smart about one thing from the beginning of his career, much like Ian Anderson and Ozzy Osbourne, he always surrounded himself with top talent, like Ruth Underwood, and always great drummers like Aynsley Dunbar and Ralph Humphrey.
"I have to agree; Zappa is better known as an  interesting person than for his music."

lewm,
That would only include people that don't know his music. 
"If your system does not sound better with your eyes closed you have work to do."
mijostyn,
I truly have empathy for your past coworkers and friends. You are the archetypal  inflexible know-it-all. Just because science favors lights-out doesn't mean others can't process musical input just as effectively with the lights on.  
"Music always sounds better with the lights out."
Not for every listener.   
millercarbon,
And then cakyol said:
"There is error detecting & correcting logic in all digital gear."

Yes, of course there is, but what does that have to do with digital cables? It is not the job of digital cables to correct errors in the digital stream.  
cakyol,
I'm still wondering about your ears. I've been in this game for many years, and there are HUGE difference in digital cables. I have three good quality cables, and all sound very different. Different wire, insulators and RCA's (I use single ended) all make a difference. I wish I couldn't hear the difference, like you. I would be a little richer.
cakyol,
Digital cables are ridiculous? Do you have ears? They are required to transmit a signal!

"Roxy, glad to help you better understand Hwy. Like SR, i offer a $ back guarantee on my posts. Send me the bill." 

Those sentences (?) are additional proof that most things that you say don't make sense.  
mijostyn,
Where have you been? These have been around for many years. Did you really just see them now?
