Real engineers explain why these expensive upgrades can’t work, no matter the brand or the price.

I remember when Radio Shack sold regular red colored display LED alarm clocks to improve the audio...


aside:
in my opinion, seems that some audiophiles listen to the equipment, instead of the music...

A hot mess of popups and ads. Nothing but excessive click bait. Don't waste your time trying to read anything.

Ahhhh, one of my all time favorites..........'audio fool fuses'. I remember the clown from Synergistic Research peddling that nonsense

That site gets attention by posting this type stuff and it's working. I have a friend who is an EE he tells me cables, power cords etc. don't make any difference but he consistently refuses my invitation to bring some over to try. Is he afraid he learns he is wrong he can't continue banging the gong? Some see how popular ASR is and want on the bandwagon. They've found there are plenty of consumers willing to remain ignorant. It costs nothing in most instances to just try for yourself too many are like my friend the EE.

If I try something and it works I'm convinced and no one is going to unconvince me no matter how much you talk. It's basic economics if you put out a product and it don't work you don't stay in business. You are the fool trying to push mass hysteria.

I don't use Synergistics and not a fan of Ted. I will say he is at the shows demonstrating his products work. If someone don't hear a difference or enough to warrant the price then move on. I normally see people lining up to buy what they have just witnessed.

When traveling salesmen sold snake oil they were gone the next day. Almost all tweak products have a return policy, the company is still there. So you want to say a company can stay in business by pushing a placebo effect? It don't work that way. In fact, it's amazing some of the companies do remain in business despite the nay sayers and negative comments. I remember at least one audio company that went under based off of a bad review. I suggest to you to think about just why are these companies still in business? Am I missing something?

Ok Professor Peabody, you can spend your money any way you want. Just be sure you save enough to buy more Kool-Aid
