Why not ditch the speakers all together? Imagine the level of fidelity 
The only downside is, with enough of these in people's homes we are doomed for sure...

We seem to have depleted our stockpile of Snake Oils << imo, near bottom of the barrel.
Will we need the involvement of DOE soon?

Putting the violin on devices or loudspeakers isn't new either, and certainly not their idea, it was done more than 22 years ago. All just stolen, no more honor among cheatersTake a look here. Sorry there is not an English version of their website, so many things to learn and many things to buy to improve the sound quality of your setup! Same rocks, magical liquids, a violin to place on top of your speakers...
I am sure I can reach the podium in this 3d.

Let's face it, con men have used the same old tired cons since time began. And gullible people fall for it.Putting the violin on devices or loudspeakers isn't new either, and certainly not their idea, it was done more than 22 years ago. All just stolen, no more honor among cheaters

... and... I'm sure that all y'all know that the word gullible does not appear in the OED.
They sniff at such goings on.... and... I'm sure that all y'all know that the word gullible does not appear in the OED.
I am not falling for that trick ever again... especially, considering the source... no, not you... but, the other one...

The Absolute Sound's 2022 Product of the Year is a ... $3000 grounding box. I believe additional components are required, at additional cost, to complete the grounding "system." BTW, if you haven't perused the reviews section of the site recently, the number of high priced cables and various magic box devices is sobering, and even sad. A rich man and his money...
Editor Robert Harley says, "High-end audio never runs out of surprises. Just when you think that the industry has addressed every possible source of sonic degradation, along comes a new technology, product, or design technique that elevates musical realism to the next level. This steady stream of unexpected innovation in unlikely places is one of the enduring sources of fascination with high-performance audio. I'm referring to products that produce an audible improvement by addressing phenomena that one would think would be settled science or that would make so little difference as to be insignificant.
For example, the Shunyata Altaira system that is the subject of this issue's cover story addresses a phenomenon that I'm sure very few of you considered to be significant — noise on the chassis of your components. The Altaira is a grounding system that drains this noise away from your components. Although connecting components with a common low-impedance ground connection is basic engineering practice, who thought that a sophisticated device that implements this idea at a high level could render such a profound improvement in an audio system's sound quality? How could such an infinitesimally miniscule amount of noise be interpreted by our hearing system as lessened musical coherence, rougher textures, and a smaller soundstage?"

They should rename their magazine "The Definitive Affront"Strangely they ask the correct questions:
Yet then utterly fail to actually try to answer them...
To be fair, the overall product of the year was not the Shunyata; it was listed in the "Accessories of the Year" -- bad enough in it's own right.The Absolute Sound's 2022 Product of the Year is a ... $3000 grounding box.

Nonetheless, your point is well taken. I'm pretty sure at this point that audiophiles have become a community with money to spend looking for infinitesimal (sometimes non-existent) incremental benefits. I've played that game myself, at times.

I think Mr. Harley mis-wrote: "High-end audio never runs out of surprises. Just when you think that the industry has addressed every possible source of sonic degradation [revenue extraction], along comes a new technology, product, or design technique that elevates musical realism [pseudoscience] to the next level. This steady stream of unexpected innovation [cash flow] in unlikely places [from gullible audiophools] is one of the enduring sources of fascination [for con men] with high-performance audio."

I'd hate to kick an audio-magazine - really; any periodical - while the whole print-media industry is in desperate need of CPR.
I apologize for being a fan-boy of print-media.
But 40+ years of sourcing knowledge - from mostly printed-text - I hope I never have to cut that hand that has fed me.
I mean where else would have I learned the renaissance of field-coil speakers? [...If it wasn't referenced in TAS-335]
Who would have thought that robots would outdo Pete Townsend and The WHO?Why not ditch the speakers all together? Imagine the level of fidelity
The only downside is, with enough of these in people's homes we are doomed for sure...

I... I didn't realize that there was ground-breaking research that had been going on in grounding!?!
Must've been DARPA funded...

Also from that magazine cover:

From the DUAL 1019 manual (ca. late 1960s).
