Snake Oil Product of the Year Awards

[megatrends]

Doesn't the higher level of the label area cause a problem with two sheets of glass? I have no idea, just asking. I would think it would since it is higher than the grooved portion .... or is it?

Wouldn't cost much to have suitably sized holes cut out for you.... As a wise person once said... "Problems are just solutions waiting to happen."

I am going to give just glass a try with the sun on my star wars record. My record is bowl shaped and not really warped like you would think. Someone had it in their Star wars collection laying down flat instead of standing upright so it warped over time.

I figure since it just needs a nudge to lie flat again i will try it with two thick glass sheets I have from an old entertainment center in the basement.

I'll report what happens!

Bring it in out of the sun when the vinyl relaxes.

So you are saying it is just tense and needs a vacation.

[Alec124c41]

Yup. But it shouldn't get a sunburn.

Now it is going to rain everyday just because I want to try this. Cursed!!

[megatrends]

Still raining in the North East USA. According to the forecast I won;t see sun until the end of the week.

I can wait! This will be attempted, the sun will come out eventually!! I know this because I know the sun is still there!!!!

[megatrends]

Seriously, 9 inches of rain, sun has not been out for literally one week. if I had not mentioned this test, the weather would be lovely.

[Dr Pan K]

this is going to be controversial.

for me its nothing else than the purest quality of extra fine snake oil, some will think otherwise.

because when there is a glimpse of "science" its easier to "explain" why snake oil is so expensive

im talking about the famous schumann resonators

from 6moons audio: The RR-77 pulls off a real magic act in accentuating the musicality of a recording and hifi rig. The non-musical elements of the recording process such as soundspace, soundstaging, imaging, extreme detail recovery and so forth all have a dollop of naturalness applied to them so that they don't distract you from the musical elements of tone, melody, rhythm, emotional impact and musical flow. Those non-musical artifacts are still there but now in complete support of the music to never draw your attention away from the music as some audiophile-style systems tend to do.
The RR-77 is a no-brainer purchase. At $425, it is expensive for what it seems to be - a little plastic box with a circuit board inside.

this comes from the people who produce "fine mahogany cable insulators"....

[Mark E Smith's Dentist]

I've heard of Schumann resonances. I read that they've fitted Schumann resonators in the space station because an absence of these frequencies make people unsettled. Using the same logic, they're supposed to help you feel relaxed while listening to music and therefore make your music sound better.

What I don't understand is how a crappy little plastic box can produce 7.8Hz .

It can't. The only way to get a measurable field at a distance of > 1m from a box that size, would be to fill it with a multi-turn coil and drive it with a lot of power. This would then fail CE regulations on magnetic field emission (and erase your credit card stripes)

I was watching one of the videos on youtube about all this and this is one of the comments. "I'm selling cans of ultra-low-distortion, low-loss air. Just spray it in front of your speakers before listening. Imagine the CRISPNESS!"

I'll take two, please!

If it is expensive you better hold your breath, you dont want to waste it in daft things like respiration

Found another one! Until now I had no idea that my detail was too small. Now I can see (hear?) them as though I was hearing through a magnifying glass!

And they make the listener far more comfortable as they sit and listen to the music due the the dramatic thinning of the wallet in the back pocket giving another percieved increase in quality
