Audio nonsense


In this wonderful world of audio that we journey through folks selling stuff have sometimes been inventive in what they claim. In your trip down this road what sticks out as the most ludicrous thing you’ve seen someone try to sell? 
 

I can point to 2 things. When I first saw a Tice clock in a store I thought it was a gag. Next- Peter Belt.

@dill , Long term evaluation is not the key. You accommodate to what you are listening too. It becomes your normal even if it is horrendously out of wack. Most audiophiles have absolutely no idea what they are listening to. They have never measured their systems and rooms thinking they can take the CHEAP way out and do it by ear."

- Your assumptions are frankly, quite arrogant.

Your measured system sounds good to you.

My system put together by ear sounds good to me. Now, using your logic, my tweaked & unmeasured system would not sound good to you since we don't know how it will measure. Do I have that right?

Since it is impossible for you to measure many, so called tweaks, they are dismissed and considered as insignificant. Your measured system has to sound good right?

You are happy with your system and I am with mine. Good for us both. Why are you so nasty about it?

 

No wonder 99% of the time almost everyone claiming to be an audiophile fails double blind tests.

Makes sense to me. The audiophile claims to hear differences  between devices and fails to do so in double blind testing. In this scenario the audiophile is the DUT.

The most arrogant people here, insulting every one are the so called self appointed "scientists", an audiophile species i dont like at all.... I dont like "tweaks" sellers either....Not because they never work, they work often, but the explanation by the sellers are like the alleged claims of the pseudo "scientists" here, meaningless, the same pseudo-scientist who does not dare to create their own listening experiments but vouch by blind test in any room save their own.......NON SENSICAL rethoric...

I will listen music instead of reading idiots, subjectivist or objectivists, on my 500 bucks system mechanically. electrically, and acoustically controlled at NO COST....

I like to be alone.....

 

 

 

Blind test are a method very useful for industrial research...

Make no sense in my room...

 Some Idiots are very fond of blind test here....

And Sellers hate them generally ...

 i am not an idiot nor a seller....
