Anyone else build a pair of Shakti Hallographs?

[tom1356]

I have to admit these are baffling. Any idea why they work the way they do?

Those squiggly wood pieces are called "snakes."

The black metal rods in front of them are hollow and hold the oil.

I was looking for responses from people who had heard them.

Hi, That would make a nice music-rest.
Do they make sound???

In that case you will have to wait a while....

Maybe they only work if bought together with the 400$ wooden knob??

They actually focus the sound quite a bit. It is a remarkable effect.
I have not heard the commercial version.

You also didnt claim a change of sound from these thingies

They dont seem sturdy enough to support a bunch of CD's, but maybe if we.......

Magura
Why would you post on a subject you know nothing about?

 

[Magura]

The entire forum have been laughing about those a while ago, they were advertised together with a few other good laughs. Among other things a 400$ wooden volume knob.

If im not mistaken, the conclusion back then was that you gain more by putting a photo of yourself in the freezer.

I'm glad I didn't read that thread before building them. I hope you are very young... I remember back when I knew everything.

Here on DIYaudio, most of us are young at heart

If you keep your mind open wide enough, there are people who will be happy to throw all sorts of garbage in there. In the meantime, I will improve my sound by putting Magura in my freezer.

 

[Magura]

Hey Sy

It works loads better to put your wife in the freezer. It was concluded in another thread not too long ago

Magura

 

[SY]

Yes, but my wife isn't participating on this thread.

You can get a lot of different effects depending what you place behind your speakers. Things to try are:

Large serving platter
A thermal blanket
A large, carved Holoween pumpkin
Plant with a lot of leaves
20 rolls of paper towels without the plastic wrap
A life sized photo of a very expensive subwoofer

My personal favorite is a large dog sitting in a chair reading a copy of Stereophile

 

[tom1356]

I am surprised that all you people, who have not heard the difference they make, all have opinions.

I guess it's true what they say "opinions are like ******** everyone has them..."
None of you are interested in improving what you listen to?
The lack of curiosity is what is really surprising.
Why do you come to Diyaudio.com then?
Go back to listening to your Soundesign one-piece systems.
Nothing more to see here.

Hi Magura,
