Biggest rip off

trust me there are many more and bigger rip offs but it's a nice example
 
Wait for the review... And then never trust anything said or written from that person again:facepalm:

There are a few other items from the same company... With the oh-so-special photon alignment technology!

Anyone care to invest in my gonkulator stabilization array with trick-o-metric field rejection unit? It doesn't align the photons like the above products, but does get them dancing!
 
Now ya tell me, I already ordered mine.

Wasnt there something a ways back that statically enhanced the CD? Or did it magnatize...no it trimmed the edges like a lathe and painted it green.

Anyway, The Cable Company is pretty reputable and I'm surprised they are selling this kind of item, but they must think they can make some money from a few.

What is MAP pricing?

Moron Asshole Pricing?
 
In my agenda, tweaks are divided into three categories:
1. Those that have a scientific background that explain how they work.
2. Those that might interfere with the sound, even if there is no current scientific explanation on how they work.
3. Those that have no way to change sound, just because they do cannot possibly affect any physical attribute of the playback system, so they just cannot work.

I willingly test (and use) tweaks from the first category, I am more sceptic about those in the second category (although I don't refuse to give them a try) and I stay away from the third.

Examples for each kind:
1. Various footers, spikes and resonance control devices. Also, wire material and braiding in cables, or surface treatments enhancing the transparency of CDs.
2. The QRT products: not sure how they work, but they do (they did change the sound of my system, although not for the best). Also, claiming that they have an effect on the sound is reasonable, considering they are plugged in parallel with the electronics.
3. Peter Belt and other such "breaktroughs" (BTW, is there anyone still using Cardas wooden pucks or Shun Mook ebony blackgammon thyingies in their system?). Also, devices using Schumann resonators to reproduce the "fundamental" 7.83Hz "Earth breath".

Just my $0,02, of course!

The Cable Co should be ashamed marketing such a product.

Don't worry, there is a reputable manufacturer who claims that using blue LEDs in their CD players somewhat enhances the reflectivity of the red pickup laser. And they are still in business, but (fortunately) not due to this claim but rather despite it!
 
Nothing surprising here. There is an endless supply of snake oil and such out there and as PT Barnum said, plenty of those who buy it. Personally, having studied theoretical physics a bit, I can spot snake oil a mile away. I just avoid all of it across the categories. I also avoid places and dealers that sell such things like cookers and little plastic pieces with adhesive on them and other such things.
That's just me though, everyone else's mileage will be different.
 
I have no clue on this product and my logic says boo hiss - bad idea!

But out of curiosity - has anybody actually tried it before saying it's the worst?

Of course - just my $.02

A laser reads One's and Zero's, how can anything change that! Call me a skeptic! And I am a person who usually gives things the benefit of the doubt until I can see for myself.
 
There's a sucker born every minute.

As WC Fields said, "never give a sucker an even break," and that's exactly what the tweaking companies do.
 
Because it is one thing to make a product, with perhaps an unknown mechanism of action, and make some small claims. It is another to spout pseudo-scientific gibberish while making profound claims. The latter purveyor falls into a category I like to call "unscrupulous profiteer", i.e. a dishonest person who should be called out as such. It is a sad reflection on our society there seems to be a growing population of people who have no shame.

(Though there have always been schiesters (?) and scoundrels in this world, that'll never change.)

How can anybody say it's a ripoff if you have never heard it?

Simply because it goes into the third category of tweaks: those that cannot improve the sound, no matter what unexplained phenomena are at stake.
I'll give you an example: Peter Belt states that writing "++ good" (or something to that effect) on the back of a photo (always using their $$ special pen) and freezing said photo will enhance the sound.
As I said, there are tweaks that might work, even if the underlying science is unclear, but some others just have no reson to work (except for the placebo effect).
And BTW, I never tried to eat a rotten egg either, but then I don't feel the need to... at least, not if I have to pay for the "experience".
 
I've not used the product in question, but have heard a demonstration of one of their other products, the Acoustic Energizers. This was brought over by an owner of 2 units, who demonstrated its effect in a friend's system.


I also have tried and own a number of products in the third category of products as described by iosiP.

But I agree that the ad copy of the manufacturer of the Acoustic Energizers is ..... entertaining to say the least.
 
Guys: You have to go to the website of the manufacturer. Device does not alter 1/0/0/1s it alters protons and electrons and maybe even neutrons by principles of quantum physics. True. They even have wands that do this on their site also as well as a voice enhancer. Oh boy####!!!!!

So it alters the subatomic structure of matter.Hmmmm....interesting.Why does it only last 2hrs?
