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 Yes. Please send me your list and I will categorize them for you with even an "oilyness factor" number.  After all, it is not brain surgery, very simple and logical. 

@cakyol 

You are insufferable. At what point did you stop being curious? At what point did you acquire enough (or any) knowledge and settle? And you know what settlement is, right? The garbage that falls to the bottom. At what point were you anointed the great savior? And at what point are you going to stop clinging to your own limitations and try so desperately to try to convince others to stop seeking knowledge and in doing so, surpass yours? 
 

You didn’t answer my question. Did you build your gear like Lego, or did you listen, adjust and modify? We’re you open minded and willing to try and fail, or were you only capable of following the map?  You seem like a map kind of guy.
 

Thank goodness you are gracing us, albeit reluctantly according to you, with your great presence here on the snake oil forum. Your relentless effort to free us all from our misguided notions of what does and does not sound good has not gone unnoticed. You have freed us from the chains that bind, you job is done and you may return to whatever the place is you came from…

In the meantime, stop telling me what I am or am not capable of hearing and why, or why not, I am hearing it. I will try things for myself and reserve judgement as to its effectiveness based on my findings. And you, can cling to your preconceived notions about what may or may not work and remain at your limits be they self imposed or perhaps the limits nature provided you.

Aren’t  you late for that book burning, would hate for you to miss it…

How about this, how about you provide us with a complete thesis, using your own words - no copy and paste allowed - on the finer and more detailed points on neuroscience, sensory input and the interactions that occur between the upper, mid and reptilian parts of our brains. I would love to see what you actually know, and see if you might be able to help me remember bits I may have forgotten. Please help to edjumacate us, oh wise one… And while you’re  at it, how about supplying a list of tweaks that are not snake oil as well as a list of those that are. Oh, and outline what are items you have actually listened to, and what you are mearly speculating on, arriving at preconceived notions based on your obvious vast history and knowledge.

The thing about being closed minded, is it maintains a status quo. And a status quo is safe. Safe, is a place where people hide. Safe, is a place where they don’t need to let other beliefs or others in. There is no need for an open mind in this safe place, indeed an open mind threatens the very foundation of the safe place. Those who stick to safe have rarely, if ever, stepped outside of their own postal or zip code. Unless of course, to attend a book burning.
