Can you over engineer snake oil?
The NCF Booster is almost here! | FURUTECH
Years ago, I had the idea that speaker vibrations might travel along the speaker wires, into my amplifier, possibly causing distortion. I sandwiched my speaker wire in cork and sorbothane discs, had several listens, and decided it had no audible effect.
I guess I didn't consult the correct industry insiders, to come up with a product.
Maybe I will revisit the idea, but instead, clamp the wire between 2 coin batteries.

pimpy! I remember being very impressed as a teenager when I first saw a Z80 CPU in a white ceramic mil spec package.
Young man, you just missed the 1750A instruction set era.

Can we PLEASE sue the jingle bells off of just ONE of these jackasses?

That is a solution in search of a problem.
Whew! That was close!Years ago, I had the idea that speaker vibrations might travel along the speaker wires, into my amplifier, possibly causing distortion. I sandwiched my speaker wire in cork and sorbothane discs, had several listens, and decided it had no audible effect.
Hee! Just make sure they aren't actually connected to anything.I guess I didn't consult the correct industry insiders, to come up with a product.

I won the lottery 3 times in a row the past month. Does it make me any more lucky than the time that I played in 2015 and received nothing? No.
But at least now I'm filthy stinking rich! Won $30 then $20 Then $10. Just like those guys who make fake crap for sale as aids to audio greatness.
WOOHOO

Yes. If each of these myriad tweaks produced the order-of-magnitude improvement that's always claimed, then the combined effect would be such that any one of these sticker-festooned, cable-lifted behemoths should be capable of producing a humanity-healing, world-curing, universal-consciousness sound by now - before the first Bobby McFerrin record is even cued up on it.
The more drivers in a single channel, the more defocused the sound will get.
No.

I've always wondered if Mr. Fremer or the 6moons guys just add the current rave tweaks to the last 10 yr. of "essential" ones. Their systems would look stunning not to mention the LP demaging etc. every time you listen.
I’d like to listen to one commercially designed speaker that has good image focus. If you can name a pair, I will keep my ears open for opportunities to give it a try.

Define image focus, please. What do you mean?
