Extreme Snake Oil

Wow! I wish i was as devious as some of these blokes. This is a superb re-casting of a known audio technology ie. tape recording into an audio "enhancement" device. Basically it's supposedly doing the same for the air in your listening room what AC bias does for tape recording! Absolute bloody genius! Why can't I devise these sorts of cross-mutations of audio tech, maybe we should have a thread on that to nominate irrelevant technologies applied to audio that supposedly improves it?!?

I think it's the same outfit.

:facepalm:
I wouldn't have any problem paying 12000$ or thereabouts for something like this (If i had the money that is!) but for a F**king set of cables:facepalm::eek:

No, I totally agree.
I can't say too much about it as a cable maker/trader myself but the sad fact is that there is a market out there for over-priced cables and there are some that totally buy into the BS.
At least you have a good perspective on what makes a sensible value proposition.

Ha. - didn't spot that one, I am too bike focussed. (But look at the spokes) :cool:

So, what difference does it make?
It makes none.
 
This one made me spit out my morning coffee laughing:


Not hugely expensive I know, but this caught my eye:

"inside the insulator is a blend of natural ores which absorb electromagnetic waves and radiated noise from the cable. Because of its combination of resonance control and noise absorption abilities, the RCI-3 will dramatically improve sound in a manner never before achieved. Noise is dramatically reduced and sound stage and imaging are more focused and three dimensional. The tone will become smoother as well"

I particularly enjoyed:

"Using the RCI-3 on power cables allows electricity to flow more smoothly, greatly reducing resonance and radiation noise"
