The sad thing is how many people would take this completely seriously...

He did a good job delivering that with a straight face! You can also hide/camouflage your ever growing collection of headphones and whatnot to boot.

Aw man...
I thought this was gonna be a thread about growing yer own weed.

There is only type of house plant an audiophile should have

Actually small fir plants can usefully damp some corner reflections. The rubber plant........not so much. Boston ferns are good because they are one of the more efficient indoor plants at pulling various pollutants out of the air. A few in a room are supposed to measurably reduce such things.

He smiled on the 'photosynthesis bubble problem' part, but that made it funnier to me.

I'm totally gonna send this to my wife and buy some plants. I'll tell her the plants are a thank you for paying for the f208s we just bought and that they'll help make them sound even better. She's blonde... she'll fall for it.

Now to listen to some...Robert Plant!

Robert Plant

Robert Palmer is better IMO;

I’ve also heard a fir can be a good filter (sorry)

Yes - I think mainly because the level of nonsense isn’t that far removed from his regular vids.

More importantly, can the plants be measured?

Oh yes!

You could tell her it's a new kink you'd like to get into.

The irony is that while this video is clearly an april fool's joke there has been actual research done on the acoustical properties of plants and soil. Especially their absorption properties to deal with noise.

As seen above, that already has been done.

Plants can sound quite good.

Because Audiophile's have some crazy theories and ideas, at first I thought this video was serious, until I read the comments.

Yes.
Additionally it is useful to know that "a 100 m wide dense forest strip with dense undergrowth causes a level reduction of 5 to 10 dB" (source (german): https://www.staedtebauliche-laermfibel.de/?p=71&p2=7.1.6).

What happens is when someone sees this in a couple of moths and don't see the release date
I think this one will stick, I don't think any audiophile misconception can die once the cat is out of the bag, it persists forever
