| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? whostolethebatmobileCould there be two broad categories of tweak?

| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? After reviewing the bidding I don’t think we have a clear winner yet that fits all three criteria, ridiculous, overpriced and useless. On the other hand I haven’t been paying very close attention. Maybe we should go for best two out of three. | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? Pretty weak post, glubmeister. Maybe eat more Cheerios. | |
| WHAT SHOULD BE MY NEXT SYSTEM UPGRADE? Gee, I never would have guessed. That certainly explains all the enthusiastic posts. 🙄 | |
| Best Headphone under 1k$? More to the point is that it appears HIFIMAN earphones require around 300 hours or more to burn in, depending on how the burn in is achieved. If I were using the burn-in track on my XLO Test CD I imagine I could reduce the number of hours required... | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? But the active version requires a compressor, no? | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? What I see is,“The 2212 Vibraplane and compressor is $5495.” Maybe you’re referring to the passive version. |
