What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen.


I was flipping through the accessory pages at the Cable Company and came up with this https://www.thecableco.com/hallograph.html You have to be kidding me. Of all the dumb, idiotic, profoundly stupid things I have ever seen. The marketing is even better! Have you seen anything worse! It is up to us to uncover these things for what they are, SCAMS.

I do my best to stay "in the middle" when it come to audiophool gear-open mind until I try something myself.

So, you  already have a nice table/cart/phonostage and this thing will make it even "better"?

$400 headshell weight- anodized titanium plate, infused with silicone..... uh okaaayy?
I suppose it would look nicer than a penny w/blue tack.

 
Mijo- thanks for asking - doing well :-) actually worked a couple of days last week with really smart , engaged people - their software runs on 3 QPU, soon to be 5. Neat intersection of Quantum Physics and Engineering:-)

I spend less time and energy here, more on music, etc....

indeed, God does play Dice with the universe in strange and unknown ways...1, 0, or both :-)


Perhaps a different perspective? Certainly there is no shortage of items claiming to improve listening experience, almost every audio component makes that claim. To what extent the product succeeds in that is VERY subjective. For those with unlimited budgets cost is no concern, but for a very substantial portion of audio enthusiasts they can not afford to purchase a product that has no basis in fact and MISLEADS them to believe that the product will produce a significant improvement in their listening experience, but has little potential to do so.

I am a little worried about anything whose "How it works" includes...

"...Cantilever Bending Beams..."

I wonder if they would make one for Ortofon Concorde.
Selling a product and giving explanations that perhaps make no sense at the end is one thing that can be itself explained, especially if the sellers know that his product work but dont know exactly why and how...

It is not simple to understand?

BUT having always an answer always the same, to mock all that is out of our expectations window is another matter...

Between these 2 attitudes guess which is the more silly?

😊


Being myself ingenuous perhaps i dont see the world full of thiefs and liars, i think that we must carefully experiment and carefully test  people and products....Denigrating without knowing pays no dividends....

Anyway i buy nothing, i try to replicate....
