Arrgh! Buriedcode beat me to it. The mere mention of the "Q-word" with regard to "high-end" audio equipment arouses my suspicion. It's still not as flogged-to-death as the "R-word" ("Reference"), though.
And as far as being thrown out of the show goes, I've been there, too. There always seems to be an opportunity to listen to a hard-sell so preposterous you almost can't keep your mouth shut. It's a bit like hearing someone fart in church; the more silent you have to be, the more hilarious it gets!
It has been decades since my last confession (not), but as far as my recollection of scent goes, I was under the impression they were all doing it.
(sort of a contest thing, I assume)
Graft-ene
So I bought some tubes from parts connexion, and indicated I'd be okay being emailed sales news.
They now offer (sale price) synergistic research graphene fuses, (their highest performing fuses so far), for a mere $129.
I thought thin enough to be near 2D lattice sheets might be used for super thin batteries, taking salt water and making it potable.... anything but that!
Maybe they were inspired by the glimmer twins- I see a clear fuse, and I want it Painted Black.
Random- going from Bonn Scott to Brian Johnson was like going from a Lambourgini to a Ferrari.
Going from Johnson to Rose is like going from a Ferrari to a Chevy Nova, with a broken Axl.

You simply need to smarten up one of their marks and the door will soon be shown to you.I've never been thrown out, obviously not trying hard enough
Interesting, that magnetic conduction guy moved from canada to texas?
I really don't understand why people fall for all that stuff. The typical audiophool product word salad is just unbearable to me.
I witnessed some guy selling granite speakers talking about cooper pairs at an audio meeting. I wanted to ask him if his speaker wires were superconducting, but assumed the answer would be even more BS.

Scanning past the offensively expensive stuff we come to the shunyata demo. Some quotes below.
Nice bit of turn around from the paid shill saying how much the Shunyata home products helped his ECG. Suddenly 1 test on an ECG becomes 'worldwide'
They either employee a magician or Derren Brown to do their demos. Not only peeking but waving the 'this is a much better cable' in front of the audience.

Ah hypnosis by cable waving... Makes the wallet instantly open as the brain shuts down...
They need so to a cooper / levis / what-have-you listening test.....

I thought all of that was generally taught in universities back then? I would have hoped his actual conclusion at the time was 'science, it works b*tches' (c)XKCD as everything he described there could be explained away very easily with no magic at all.
Or I am just too cynical these days.
