Ansuz products

[Pearljam5000]

Saw these products and was wondering what's the science behind them and how effective they are.

2. Darkz

3. Rezonator

There is no science behind it. It’s pure nonsense

 

[Mnyb]

All Anzus products are more or less snake oil , it’s a whole group of brands that employ more or less woo woo .

I would not trust anything associated with them

'Axxcess Forte 1 with 'Tesla Coils' - legit or snakeoil?'

Feb 7, 2024

I've never seen an amp with what they call 'Tesla Coils' which apparently serve the purpose of dealing with voltage spikes. Would love to hear what the community has to say about this topic : )

We could ask the mods to merge it into the snake oil tread , if someone just want to have fun with it .

But I’m quite sure many of these products got “honourable” award’s there already btw sorry for adding more noise to the forum

Why

They are entirely performative components added to the product for no reason except to obscure reality.

The so-called Tesla Coil devices are small bifilar wound lengths of wire. Nikola Tesla invented these for a real purpose. That being said, this audio group of carnival barkers wire them in a way that does nothing, and have Tesla rolling in his grave if he even could be caused to posthumously care about this group and their misuse of electrical concepts. They aren't used like an inductor or bifilar wirewound resistor (bifilar wirewound resistors are incredibly useful, don't confuse this bullshit with those... inductors are useful too but these are not that...)

They are taking advantage of the common audiophile infatuation with technical lingo, turning it into audio-babble, all while taking advantage of the fact that most people don't understand circuitry enough to sense the complete BS. This is the same group who make the really bad sounding Børresen speakers (they really do sound bad despite the bizarre defenses of those presented in your other thread).

At this point, are you starting to develop a sense of what is total bullshit in this industry? Can you identify a Barker at a carnival? It's not like you need to be able to identify the Barker's schtick, you just need to recognize a) you are at a carnival, and b) a Barker is attempting to manipulate you. So are you getting the idea that these impossibly unrealistic promises, and absurdly high prices are just people trying to swindle you?

This stuff is marketed for people with much deeper pockets than you and I, and people who are not critical of performance and value, but want the idea that they bought a technical product that is exclusive due to cost and aura.

I learn by discussing this stuff on ASR
So thanks for the comment

Did Ted Denney ghost write the material?

It's hard to poll this way.
For example, what are you getting from your Børresen speaker threads? The recent one has good responses and info on how bad those speakers actually are, but also contains lots of very long winded excuses for the company and the poor performance of the speakers. What is your takeaway from that thread?

There's no one takeaway
You take in the different opinions and approaches and try to learn something

Then how come so many nearly identical threads on this specific company's audio woo woo? Are 5 or 6 identical threads plastered with the company's controversial marketing claims and pseudo-science distortions really the best way to get a takeaway? It seems more like a way to just start an argument, and not learn anything.

Your entitled to your opinion
But it's just that, your opinion.

My post was an observation (multiple posts on the same controversial topic) and a question (why repeat posts on controversial manufacturers?).
You said you are just asking for people's opinions, which you shouldn't confuse with my question.
I am asking you for your opinion.
