What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak?


My vote: Furutech Outlet Cover 105 NCF $220, with “special crystalline material that has two “active” properties.” https://www.thecableco.com/outlet-cover-105-ncf.html

@tobor007   Anyone, being skeptical of snake oil, bust cream, sea monkeys, and magic outlet covers, yet still has to try them just to be sure, pretty much proves the whole point of this thread.

Just a few things I find a bit outrages, maybe even laughable:
$25K cables
$250.00 outlet covers
$5K isolation cones
$4K magic record clamps
Not all, but most all, products claiming to use Graphene

I kind of do like Elizabeth’s idea of using toilet paper spools to elevate cables. It does work very well.
I’m a bit surprised that someone hasn’t taken the idea, added a bit of cryo treatment, some fake graphene to the inside of the spools and a secret, special coating to the outside and presented as the next new hi dollar audio tweak,
It wouldn’t work any better or worse than plane old toilet paper spools, but with a healthy dose of hype and a bit of slick marketing - could, no doubt, sell them for thousands.......Jim
@dynaquest4   Nordhost Odin Cables/Wires. To connect my pre-amp, amps (two), disc player and speakers (not including power cords) $137,000.00.

WOW - Sorry about your bad investment.....Jim
