If something can, in truth, improve the sound, it is essential and not an accessory.
Accessories are for convenience and amusement.

Do Any Audio Accessories Actually Work?
- Thread starter Sparkeychase
- Start date
I installed a phono carbon fiber mat and a carbon fiber head shell brush and I am sure the phono sounded better after.
The snake oil purveyors do use science but it is usually perverted into something that does not need to be solved as in they create a fear and a issue and then sell you the solution to the issue they invented. Jitterbugs, USB Purifiers, Mains Conditioners are for sure snake oil but they solve a issue that does not need solving or they flat out don't do anything at all.

Optional accessories that have, at various times, and for various reasons and purposes, enhanced performance of my audio systems:
Vacuum cleaning device for LPs
Electronic stylus pressure gauge
Zerostat pistol
Portable oscilloscope
Audirvana
Periodic appointments with an otolaryngologist to get my ears cleaned
Cannabis gummies

Om nom nom... I tried them several times and eventually I ate $25 of chocolates and I don't think I felt anything. The dose is too light in Canada.
What brand of optical usb cable did you buy?
The particular part " must be some 'science' behind Jitterbugs, USB Purifiers, Mains Conditioners et al that relates to HiFi equipment" is telling. Why would there be science behind bullshit? That is even an opening proposition for you?
This is a comment that deserves some thought, not just when it comes to silly accessories...
As for accessories per se... I recommend a headphone stand, and masking tape to mark speaker and listening positions.
$25 worth of edibles should get you in orbit around Neptune! Dollar-wise that will get you 150mg in Cali, which AFAIK is more than you're allowed to buy in one transaction. I had a friend eat about half of that by accident one time (funny story, really) and he was out of commission for about 16 hours. Either you have a herculean constitution or they're selling bunk at the local shops.
If memory serves me correct the legal dose per package of chocolate(s) is 10mg/package and each package was ~$6+. I did not get anywhere the dose that he had but I wish I did... LoL.$25 worth of edibles should get you in orbit around Neptune! Dollar-wise that will get you 150mg in Cali, which AFAIK is more than you're allowed to buy in one transaction.

10mg is enough for the average punter, 40mg puts most people on their butts... but they sell them 100mg at a time for a reason, some people just aren't impressed with average quantities...
I have a high tolerance for stuff like pain, booze and cannabis. So I suspect I need a bit more THC to get the effect when eating it. Even magic shrooms I can eat a 1/4 ounce and get buzzed but not like other people explain with hallucinations and stuff like that.10mg is enough for the average punter, 40mg puts most people on their butts... but they sell them 100mg at a time for a reason, some people just aren't impressed with average quantities...
Sounds like you should start with 3x what everyone else does
1/4oz of shrooms would have me writing a constitution for leprechauns in klingon on the ceiling.
