What in your mind represents real technological advancement.

What about the inexplicable (or simply not explicked) advances from people like Ted Denny and Tim Mrock? Read the breathless endorsements and accolades from the faithful followers of these obvious geniuses and you can see that a mere fuse, piles of "special" tiny aluminum dots possibly bombarded by quantum mojo, magnetic pads, or a $5,000 fuse box enhancer will simply make your rig transform into something you barely are worthy of owning. Nano things...carcinogenic graphene paste...directional fuses...are there still some people out there who question this stuff as illogical marketing scams preying on the sadly gullible? For shame!

Clearthink...you left out "are there" from my post. It's a fact that many "feel" better after burning cash for silly tweaks, which seems like all anyone needs to know about most of them.

Subversive...yeah man! I'd like to hear comments from others on this thread as to why they DON'T embrace the hyperbolic Magic Tweak "rants" for lack of a better word...wait, here's a better word: Rodomontade...(what's another word for "thesaurus?") Plenty of things you tweak yer gear heap with actually do work and the more secure and rational designers are generally happy to explain why, but the rise of the salesman driven world of the "I don't care how my $500 magnetic place mat works, it just does" Faith Based fan should rankle anyone who respects at least a modicum of logic. People have actually claimed that a fuse mounted backwards makes their system sound "out of phase." No, it doesn't, it never could, and to claim it does tosses credibility out the window. Subversive? Only to those with the fertile (and often fertilized) imagination of the easily misled who crave a cult that warmly invites them to drop their scruples and join in...with a 30 day return policy.
