What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak?


My vote: Furutech Outlet Cover 105 NCF $220, with “special crystalline material that has two “active” properties.” https://www.thecableco.com/outlet-cover-105-ncf.html

It’s a beginner's mistake to think that any isolation device, attached to what it is isolating, is not a connection device at the same time. Thread or line cannot be physically separated from what they are attached to. You don’t want to break any laws of science, or logic, do you?
Glupson, I give you the point, silence is sometimes the best response....My best to you..
Isolation 101, not for the squeamish...

LIGO uses glass threads to isolate the mirrors. 🤭

See LIGO video,

Connection 101, not for the uninitiated...


Anything that connects to another something is a connector. To a certain desirable extent it can be an isolator, too, but is a connector.


Which property practically prevails depends on multitude of factors, but isolators mentioned earlier are connectors.

In the link above, as removed from pertinence about audio reproduction as it is, there are two moments that emphasize limits of isolation.


At around 2:45, word "relatively" and at around 6:45 "bonding them" ("connecting them", one could say).


In fact, there is much more later in the video, but those two are enough for aspiring novices.
