Last I checked the R8 was around $1899
They're actually quite common and quite inexpensive- around 20 cents apiece. The film in the cap contains silk fibers.

Colour is a bit off but I like your thinking, genetic modification and grow your own So-Sad ears for true audio capture, perhaps we could sell a tier of products starting with a basic model of modification for the plebes, a mid range model of modification with customisable colours to signify to other plebes that you have achieved a greater level of So-Sad and finally the top tier, A limited to 1000 n+1 product run with Unobtanium Reference Moulded Acoustic Dampening.
A So-Sad Ur-Mad ., I think it’ll catch on, we just have to crowd fund on Kickstarter and with amir’s backing we’ve got the ability to science the xxxx out of this thing.

I recall seeing 'ear extenders' called Easy Listeners a long time ago. These were two large forward facing scoops that hovered over each ear, mounted on a headband. They might have been advertised in one of Edward T. Dell's publications aimed at the home audio equipment constructor.
On Amazon: Dixie Cups Headband!!
Orrible reviews. It seems this version is just a cup cut in half and a piece of cord that is supposed to hold them against your head. I am sure Somafunk's version will be better thought out as most of the negative reviews say they fall off, not that they do not work.
Perhaps a version made from a disposable face mask would hold on better.

I don't think the product we bought way back in the early 80's was called Tweak but it was a similar product one brushed on interconnects much like painting one's fingernails. Made my mediocre electronics sound--mediocre.
The guy is full of $#!+. Saying that 95% of the sound is gone from mp3s shows he doesn’t even know the basics of what he’s talking about. He needs to send his speakers to Amir.

What fascinated me most about the article was the website it was on. CBS News.

No degree past high school, yet this CEO/President gives you the feeling our government let him in "special projects" that he is now sharing with the audio consumer. Ya pal, when I did Afganistan we wanted to make sure the fidelity of AC/DC for 48 hours straight had a 6 foot special power cord, for the extra soundstage. GI JOE! Then grab the religious name for the company and deface them for the sake of snake oil money. This company is one of the worse. What a crock; you could think the USA could have one testing agency that could weed these guys in their seersucker suits and magic potions, wires, and cables into the dark age. Gordon Gow and Roger Russel tried in the eighties, but the snake-oil spending was too high and clouded their message. At least ASR is up and running, not that any science has changed, but consumers can see what crap is out there for 20 times the price and does not equal something at one-fourth the cost. I love the reviews of AudioQuest's $2K cables and plugs and PS Labs junk (distortion factory) pieces made like crap with a CEO who doesn't have a degree in anything. ASR is the audio GOD of the new century!
When vdH extended his scam from wire to quack medical devices, in my mind he went from run-of-the-mill audio scammer to true evil.Sorry for contributing to our spam tread but i thought this one was hilarious .
