Another level of audiophile bull*hit
« on: October 05, 2012, 01:14:32 pm »
Check this out :)

And the best part, price list: http://www.voodoocable.net/guest/VooDoo%20Retail%20Price%20List%20-%202012%20v.6.pdf

Anyone interested in $3.4k power cable which has 'Holographic Soundstage Imaging'? :D

It's really a secret to me how does someone dumb enough to buy those things make enough money to buy them...
I love the smell of FR4 in the morning!

Well I remember years ago, there was a company over here selling  gold jack Plugs which were supposed to make any audio system sound better, they sold 1000's of them, not to me I may add. I had the the chance to hear the improved sound, that wasn't there, how ever the people who bought them said it was better, there's an old saying over here in the UK, "A fool and his/her money is soon parted". Can I sell anyone some rusty washers gauranteed to make me rich. :)

That's the million dollar question...

I would also like to know how many of these people build a special acoustic room for their super-expensive gear or they just throw their equipment in their living room with whatever obstacles in the way for the sound waves (reflections, absorptions, diffusions).

There have been this type of advertising of wondrous goods since radio and music reproduction was invented.
I have a December 1929 copy of Amateur wireless that has lot of such adverts in it one is for an OHMITE brand resistor that is better than wire wound, noiseless and efficient so that the high notes are retained.
People have fallen for this sort of rubbish through the ages, my guess is it wont stop, someone will always buy.
