Funniest snake oil theories

Reminds me of an old adage "The fool and his money are soon parted."

But hey, it if makes him happier, so what. Probably cheaper for him than studying electronics, acoustics, psychology.

Yeah, if I put a dollar amount on my education versus going to work with even *just* my BS (pun intended)...

on second though, I don't want to get depressed. Portland is already grey enough today!

The costs of the goods does not bother me, it is the lies and twisting of realitythat surround some of this stuff I find disturbing...

I very much agree with the above statement and people are having far too much fun here

This could work, but nobody:s power line has enough negative feedback on the earthing lines to be significant. Mostly for US residents and countries with similar systems.

This beats the Bybee by being one terminal more efficient.

I am sorry to note that these bsters are based in the Netherlands, spreading their manure globally by appropriating a Japanese girls name. Which, by the way, is always written by at least two characters - and never one of them will be the character used by these charlatans above their brand name.

I'm sure someone could invent an even cleverer system which omits the wire. Such advanced technology should surely double the price? Who would not want to put a little black box in the corner of their equipment in order to gain such clear benefits in sound quality?

They sell those too! The market is ahead of you:

Awesome!!! I've always wanted:

The Chip is able to do this by permanently applying harmonising energy there where the Chip has been placed. This improves the signal transmission.

Sadly, my system suffers from the dreaded discord of gear that's missing this link.

Its a single cable to a box, no loop, no way it will do anything except as as an antenna and pick up or transmit noise.


Its just a continuation of the grounding box scam, that like USB hubs etc. one comes out , then you get a whole plethora of copy cat products to help milk the true believers of their money.

 

[gpauk]

No, I think you miss the point. It takes noise on the ground wire and dissipates it in the internal quantum vacuum field in the box. It's like the sound of one hand clapping....

As they say:

The Akiko Audio Tuning Chips remain active during their lifetime.

I am sure these items remain as useful throughout their lifetime as they were when they were first installed. It is a nice touch that they come with some bluetack for initial positioning; this shows how thoughtful the producers are.

Somewhere on the internet there must be a thread where people discuss quite seriously how these work. I am not going to search for it.

 

[cogeniac]

This will work fine, but you have to discharge it regularly to get the high frequency noise out of it, otherwise to fill up and then doesn't work...Just Sayin' ;-D

it´s bargain anyway

The bluetac may produce the most benefit by some small constrained mode damping of the chassis vibration.

Hello,

Guess I just have to ask regarding the quote: "It's like the sound of one hand clapping...."

Is it the left hand or the right hand. Must be the correct hand to match the magnetic field your listening position puts your head into.

Unless of course it is a bi-directional one hand clap, using the fifth dimension bypass.
