some of their products are well engineered, but overpriced. Thats not scam.
Some of their products are direct snake oil, like that scaler thing. Thats scam.
not scam is zero, scam is 1. 1 + 0 = 1. So the company is scam.

If it makes you feel better, a high percentage of material out there on...
I think you have a confusion regarding lossless.
