-- The 3000 dollar cable.
Pages (2): « 1 [2]
No, I'm sorry, the wooden knobs are the funniest, I mean, it must be the cheapest con of them all to make, at $400 a pop! Ha, ha, ha.
If you buy 50 metres of the cable and wrap yourself in it I believe you can use there patiended design to time travel.
They probably make each cable at the cost of about $5 so they only have to fool a few idiots to buy it and they have already hit the profit region.
Yes but that 50 metre run of cable has to be imbued with time travelling properties by doctor who himself, by attaching it to the antenae of the tardis.
Of course, there is a service charge for this...
I hear it even on my ipod headphones. You don't need really precise monitors, you just have to know your monitors. Thats why sometimes I forget the alesis monitors and go back to my old $2 monitors from the thrift shop, cause I know em. Alot of gear is just hype. People think they need $3000 monitors when someone with much less can put out much better work.
Instead of buying more gear thinking it will help you produce better, how about getting better at producing yourself 
Pce,

God damn this is so profoundly stupid I am thinking of emailing them the link to this thread 
I guess I need to get me a pair of these for serato.
Only then I will be able to '' sense the enormity of the instrument�s cavity ''
....and that will be 6000$.
Screw genelec 1032s If you really want hi fidelity monitoring you need cables that operate at -10 db and cost 3000$ a piece.
Idiot deaf old people that cant even hear over 11.000 Hz should understand that the only time cables should set them back 3000$ is if they plan on running a cable across town 
Oh you will sense an enormouse cavity alright. In your WALLET.
HAH!
Fecking hell who the fuck buys this shite

What the f***?? Surely this must be a joke 
Ive heard it all now...jars full of pebbles decreasing sound pressure levels in corners...clocks that make your sounds more 3d...
And I thought a 3000 dollar phono cable was lame...
It's just the rich showing off to each other, they love it.
We take the piss out of them, we love it.
Let's all say a prayer for the guys in the middle who can't afford it but want it.
Sorry, wrong forum

This increases horsepower and speeds up 0 to 60 times in automotive engines and improves resolution in high definition audio/video systems. No electrical connection is required because all interactions take place through radiated field mutual coupling. One need only place SHAKTI units in near proximity to the CPU or audio component to obtain discernible performance improvements. |

Yea that stuff Jason posted had me doing a doubletake. I had to search the rest of the site to see if it was some kind of giant hoax.
Sadly, I think its real 
Anyone want to buy some pebbles in a jar? I can guarantee to beat machina dynamica's price. No ordinary rocks either - they are stones handpicked from the radioactive riverbed of the river liffey and is scientifically proven to not only be an effective bass trap, but close contact will also enlarge your penis and make you more attractive to women.
What more could you possibly want you zealots?!
Oh yea, heres the $485 wooden knob:

| Good vibrations, Bad vibrations it�s all about vibrations!! RAM would like to introduce a new signature level knob developed for the mighty Silver Rock potentiometer. The standard bakelite knob is certainly the best sounding compromise... but now Audio Consulting has taken this aspect of the Silver Rock much further. The new knobs are custom made with beech wood and bronze where the bronze is used as the insert to mount to the stem of the volume pot. The beech wood is coated several times with C37 lacquer for best sound as pointed out by Dieter Ennemoser. How can this make a difference??? Well, hearing is believing as we always say. The sound becomes much more open and free flowing with a nice improvement in resolution. Dynamics are better and overall naturalness is improved. Here is a test for all you Silver Rock owners. Try removing the bakelite knobs and listen. You will be shocked by this! The signature knobs will have an even greater effect�really amazing! The point here is the micro vibrations created by the volume pots and knobs find their way into the delicate signal path and cause degradation (Bad vibrations equal bad sound). With the signature knobs micro vibrations from the C37 concept of wood, bronze and the lacquer itself compensate for the volume pots and provide (Good Vibrations) our ear/brain combination like to hear�way better sound!! |

Ok this one deserved a post all to itself. Thanks Jason for posting the link to that Machina Dynamica site because I havent laughed my arse off so hard in months.
This one is a tweeter that does absolutely nothing.

Heres the science:
| quote: |
| Description/Theory: Ultra Tweeters are remarkable new audio accessories from the makers of the Intelligent Chip and Magic Ring. Each Ultra Tweeter (sold in pairs) is 4x3x1.5 inches with beautifully finished wood veneer. While having all outward appearances of being super-tweeters, Ultra Tweeters are actually no such thing, producing no acoustic frequencies in the audio band (20 Hz- 20KHz), not even frequencies in the 20KHz - 100KHz range of high quality super-tweeters. The Ultra Tweeters' principle of operation is very unconventional, and unique, having nothing whatsoever to do with reinforcing the treble frequencies of the primary speakers or attenuating EMI/RFI. |

This picture from one of the links posted by Jason_R (www.shakti-innovations.com/hallograph.htm) made me laugh:

What the hell is the GSIC? I couldnt find much info on it except for some paper on it by an engineering grad on machina dynamica's website. Heavy on theory. Low on practical application and reproducible, realworld testing.
Am I right in saying you get this chip, place it on top of your CD player for 2 seconds and it makes digital 1s and 0s appear on the disk that werent there before?
I couldnt find a price for the GSIC either but its going to have a hard time beating the $1000 Shakti Hallograph (read: glorified wooden stands), the $800 Golden Sound Ultratweater (read: the tweater that doesnt do a fucking thing) and the $250 jars full of pebbles that act as bass traps (read: jars full of pebbles).
This whole thing sounds like a huge industry and it comes back to HiFi again. How do you separate the myth from what actually works (albeit subtly) and what is a fraudulent gimmick?
On the subject of the �4500 tone arm - I love this selling point:

F1 = Minardi too don't forget. And what is F1 tecnology anyway? is it wire? coz I'm sure they use wire at some point ...
Don't get me wrong. I am all for music sounding as good as it possibly can. Good speakers, headphones, cables, etc.
But this is beyond the stupid.
What winds me up is that music isnt meant to be heard this way. It won't give the bass an incredible & natural deep sound.
It will (if anything) make the music sound worse because as mentioned even the most high end studio wont give a shiney shit about this stuff. So your only highlighting flaws of the original compositions.
Pisses me off.
