Biggest audio hoaxes

Bose noise canceling headphones ... the R&D was paid for by you, the US taxpayer, to the tune of over $100 M dollars. Bose received a DoD contract to develop noise canceling technology, and after failing to deliver any usable device or technology the DoD pulled the plug. The $100M written off ... I think we found what the hoax is here. p.s. They employ 9,000 people and have sales of $3.5-4 billion.

Do have have any documentation of this "hoax"?

cleeds,


It is not my hoax to document. It was posted by someone else above. I was debunking it.

Burning in of components (over extended periods) seems to divide opinions.  Usually the people who hold the opinion that burning in of components is all nonsense or psychology at work.  Often they will quote measurements and basic principles how the component is put together and that there is no scientific proof whatsoever to give grounds for 'change or improvement in sound'.  Manufacturer's who advise burning in periods for their components is treated with total scepticism holding the view they would say that so that the new purchaser would have time to get used to the new sound, so they view this advice as a hoax and in a way a sellers trick...... 

Tice clock.
