The Sleazy side of Audio
 

There are many good examples but for some reason this one kills me.
From audiogon;
"Shakti Hallograph new - improved"
$1195

"New & Improved"- makes you wonder who screwed up the first time. :D

They'd make nice headphone racks - sorta'.

Isn't that Steve Hoffman? I can't figure out if he is endorsing it or being cynical...

Just think, for only $95.00 you can benefit from this wonderful tweak:

The MARIGO LABS 3-D MAT for CD & DVD utilizes a revolutionary new technology employing a carbon fiber and kevlar composite with embedded ultra-fine silver wire for stray field suppression, plus anti-static black coating and optically absorbent green, which synergistically creates a new level of performance for both audio and video digital replay. With the MARIGO LABS 3-D MAT in a CD transport or a DVD player, you will see and hear a dramatic improvement. Inner detail, resolution, and ambient information is enhanced tremendously in audio replay. The harmonic structure of instruments and human voice are revealed to be strikingly more lifelike.


I might need two, just in case the first one ever wears out. Oh, and if you really want the best, the MARIGO LABS SIGNATURE 3-D MAT for CD & DVD utilizes a revolutionary and proprietary gold surface on top of anti-static black coating and optically absorbent green. Just $199.00 each. :lmao:

That must be a huge upgrade over the 2-D mat!! :thumbsup:

I wasn't the slightest bit interested until I noticed the rightous endorsement. :laughin:

Everone knows how noisy Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) can be for the human hear. In fact, you can NOT hear it. If we could hear RFI, we would be hanging upside down in caves during daylight hours, and eating 100 times our body weight each night in insects while flying blind.

Not to worry though. There is a tweak to remove RFI from your speakers. It's the Walker Audio Reference High Definition Links. For just $675.00 you get a pair of these puppies, one each for the back of your speakers. You will sleep much better at night knowing your sound system is passively protected from RFI & sonic grunge. I have ten pairs of speakers........this is going to get expensive. :D

Steve Hoffman has forgotten more about Audio than any of us will ever know. Here is a link to his gear list and resume.

Of course no power cord is complete without Acme Audio Ebony AC Connector Clamp. These ebony wood clamps are attached one on either end of your source's power cord to experience a smother, warmer, more liquid midrange and enhanced dynamics. It is said that the Acme Audio Ebony Wood AC Connector Clamp will utterly shock you with what it does to the sound characteristics of your existing power cords. It'll shock your wallet, too. $80.00 each, so that's $160.00 for each power cord you want to be shocked about. No reason to do just one, might as well do them all. :confused-12:
