At least they are 'honest' about being thieves.
That's a step up from many of these lying assclowns to me...

Yes, it is truly amazing to me that people never think about they are touting or believe. Do you really think that after a number of hours of use, the electrons spinning around the nucleus of the molecules contained within a conductor, connector or solder of the item, have now aligned themselves with each other and will remain in that status?
The other claim I love is the one regarding the benefit of single or long grain copper or silver, 'cause you know distortion is created as the signal jumps from grain to grain. But, then the same manufacture will tout the use of silver clad, high purity copper in another product, because silver is more conductive and the majority of current runs at surface level of the conductor it is better. But wait.., that silver is applied by vapor depositing billions of particles of silver. What happened to the long-grain superiority claim, now the signal is jumping billions+ times?

Think of it this way, there are around 8 Billion people on this rock and you can't elevate the world by yourself.
I will tend to point them in the right direction (compare against everything else on the planet and universe) if they continue, I smile, wave and avoid that person. Never argue with an idiot, they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. My momma always told me "If, one day you figure out you are the smartest one in your group of friends, you need new friends!"
As with all my hobbies (have between 4 to 8 of them) learned long ago that the more I know how it works, the better the results. Sure, there will always be people that just throw money at a hobby--because they are unsure and too lazy or inept to learn the hobby. Not only audio, this applies to most things be they cars, boats, photography, bicycling, motorcycles, power tools and pocket knives. They even have a forum for electric shavers, and yes, they argue about electric shavers. Believe it!
In the end, if a person's personal identity is a stereo system--that is pretty sad! If my greatest achievement was hooking up a few wires and cables and proclaiming I had golden ears...do the world a favor and shoot me. OK, first make sure I was still on my medication or something... Think about it, proclaiming you have been an audiophile for 30 years and a fuse, piece of wire or audio measurement derails your brain. Why would I ever aspire to be that--or worse, hang out with people that have set the bar that low? Yikes!
"Why ....... hang out with people that have set the bar that low"?
I ask myself that question re ASR lately with the increased audiophool traffic it is attracting, and piffle threads becoming more frequent and longer.
That's like arguing about Bluetooth speakers. Convenient at times, sure, but ultimately disappointing.

I like the carpet -- but it clashes with those cords.

not just oil, but they got bio, light, music chips, crystals....
and when i think of mr. Kaku's words:
i can only come to a single conclusion....

you can try one of the crystals from the ebay shop link i posted, it might do wonders...
You would need an electron microscope to see this - but be sure to look at the image through welding glass, because like the sound, the image will be especially "bright."
Not always.

You're being kind.
Technically, not ever, except by a happy coincidence. They're -- as you clearly know and as do most folks here, I would think -- completely different.
Time to trot out the old "bullseye" graphic.

Agreed but, as your illustration shows, we need both.You're being kind.

Silicon Nitride Upgrade Balls -- it's a good thing I don't have a juvenile sense of humor...
Oh, on topic -- stuff with three feet isn't uncommon in hifi. Turntables, e.g. -- heck, I've even got one!

I don't use it, but I do own it. The third foot is centered at the back of the -- ahem -- plinth. The motor, visible in the back left, is free-standing (i.e., sits centered in a little cutout in the plinth).
And, then again, even quadripedal hifi equipment sometimes gets the three footed treatment.
