Funniest snake oil theories

My friend,

I don't think we're quite ready for primetime yet, Frank, how 'bout we just leave our Facebook status as 'Fellow Members of DIYAudio'?

Watch out for the cattle mutilations and of course the lizard aliens. The best strategy is "I unfriend you" like the little old lady in the adds.

erm fighter jets have dozens of independent systems. Which one are you talking about resetting? I can't speak for the F-22 but i know a few things about the Typhoon from my days in aerospace.

Hypertac connectors Hyperboloid contact technology with the companies that used fischer or lemo connectors why has no one used these. Proper mil-spec 🙂

They are beautiful connectors and could probably at a touch handle audio signals and power and no worries with vibration😉. Funnily though not the cheapest connectors on the market, their price is compatible (if not cheaper) than many esoteric audio connectors.

£10 a pin when I last looked. of course not much call for being able to swing a krell round your head by its cable 🙂

IEFBR14. And even that had a bug when first written.

Remember trolls ruined the first incarnation of the internet. Via e-lists I could talk to top scientists at JPL, NOAA, NIH, NIST,

Perhaps a little later, but I still remember the awful day when AOL finally opened the floodgates and let their unwashed millions out onto the Internet. Never really been the same, since.

I had to look that up. Fascinating!

Bovine Pure Unreal....

Technology
Proximity Stone is placed beside the audio component with the black window facing the component. It's our only product that doesn't need to touch the audio system. It cleans blackbody radiation from the component without negative side effects.
Built from volcanic magma that is rapidly cooled into a glass like black pyramid. This pyramid naturally collects negative energy from the base, and beams out positive energy from the apex using our proprietary crystal formulas.
When audio components are turned on, they generate an electromagnetic field around them which will stay at a constant size. When our product is inside this field, the size of this field is reduced, because the noise is collected and beamed away quicker than new noise can be generated by the component.

Instructions

•It is recommended to place the Proximity Stone at 1 cm distance from the audio component, with a maximum of 6 cm to still be inside the field.

•Some placements give a larger effect, like in front of holes in the chassis.

•Proximity Stone should never make mechanical contact with the component.

•The black window is facing the component at an angle upwards. One side of the stone has an angled side and this side rests against the table.

•If you need to lift the Proximity Stone higher, you can use a VibraDome Deep Blue.

When our designer created the crystal formulas, he listened to the same music track 5-10 hours per day for many years.

I like their skeptic dissing

Skeptics are loud and persistent


In forums the average post count of skeptics is around 10,000. For the audiophile the average is around 500. Why is this so? Because the audiophiles spend more time enjoying their audio system, and are more relaxed.

The skeptics are aggressive, swear a lot, and don't have any patience. The most extreme skeptics have been tested to have a hearing impairment and they search for followers to their "cult". They constantly try to prevent other people from trying cables/tweaks. Most likely because they don't want to be left alone on the other side of the "fence".

The fact that SY is the highest poster in no way corroborates this view.

I haven't seen SY swear in print...it does not automatically follow that the other points are not true...😀.

I did find a few grains of truth in the description:

without negative side effects

and

Coconut audio is that tongue in cheek or what. If this magic crystal does anything at all the military would us it in their weapons to make then sound better.

"The most extreme skeptics have been tested to have a hearing impairment"
Well it would not be the first time I have had heard that accusation aimed at us sceptic's, makes me laugh....
I think those that have to resort to tuning using this sort of stuff will never be happy with the sound of their system... Its up there with the other tweaks that use magic materials (even in one case a restricted military material.....)

It's a parody site.

**** you and your ****ing ****. You look like a **** and have **** for breakfast. You probably **** regularly which accounts for your ****.

I hope this helps.

Surely we need to do a blind test to see if people can tell the difference between that and the audioquest website before we can prove that it is a parody?
