Funniest snake oil theories

Vacuum ist the opposite.

If you have one, open it and it disappears on the spot, nothing left over.

First Man was created. Then God look at the result. He got very, very frustrated, and that was the Big Bang 😁

That is why I like it

Sonore by Simple Design microRendu | AudioStream

Initially I thought this was just a 'fark that's expensive' way to get from ethernet to USB. but then I read

while the hardware, including the proprietary printed circuit board, is also the product of a collaboration between Sonore by Simple Design, Small Green Computer, and John Swenson (of Uptone Audio REGEN fame). There's am improved REGEN inside every microRendu since it also houses a USB hub that "generates a completely new USB data signal to feed your device."

$700. having seen them one of the forums a definate cult in the making!

you'd expect USB3 at least for that...

Seems it's not exactly perfect either:

Usual sh!t, as it has only ONE USB port its got to generate the USB data from scratch....
Amazing, copy a basic USB hub design from the chips data sheet, talk crap on a few audio sites and you end up a audiophile superstar.... its all a joke!

It can't be any good at all without the super power supply!

This has all got too deep for me!

Going back to basics, you can't prove that the more 'fanciful' audio treatments work, and you can't prove they don't.

Can anyone actually give a real reason why their $10,000 cable is better than my £2 one (without simply invoking the 'they're more robust' diversion)? No.

reminds me back in the mid '80s "...the XYZ brand Tip Toes blow away the ABC brand!" They look and feel (weigh) the same! I understood & agreed w/the principle but c'mon!

Hi,

They look and feel (weigh) the same! I understood & agreed w/the principle but c'mon!

Did you ?
Care to share your take on what the principle behind these is ?

TA,

I saw recently, but can't recall exactly, some special design/materials that produced Happy Electrons

 

[MITsound]

So electrons are intelligent enough to have emotions?
That may explain why we can only guess their exact location at any given moment.
They're deliberately playing tag with us, and winning!

Trust auto translate, and or proof readers. NOT!

Coca Cola was first translated in China as "Bite the wax tadpole". It's since been revised to "Happiness in the mouth"
"Finger lickin good" became "Eat your fingers off"
"Come alive with Pepsi" became raise your ancestors from the grave with Pepsi"
"I saw the Pope" became "I saw a potato"
Are the AIs this dumb, or just playing us?

I tried tip toes but they developed a toenail fungus.

Better watch it - Wintermute is a diyaudio member and frequent poster.

So I tried clod hoppers but the steel toe caps picked up a Latvian ham station. Go figure.

I switched to a live kitten under each footer. They absorb any vibrations and when they purr its heavenly. Thank God they have nine lives.

A good friend of mine is considering some speaker wire from a site called VHAudio.
Many funny products for sale there, power conditioners which output more power than they are input, the usual Bybee suspects, deeply frozen and thawed metals, et cetera...
And one which may improve an old tweak I've had unused on the shelf many years now.
By sticking this ? on the case of my earliest tweak, I could create a Quantum-Monarchy chip DIP.
It would almost have to sound better, wouldn't it?

 

[henrylrjr]

One thing I've noticed on that site is that everything is very expensive and smells like snake oil. Those two "qualities" always seem to go together.
