High End Audio Bullshit!

How could I possibly part with all that fantastic stuff?!

Thanks to our second mortgage, I can now hear when the third violin burps in the middle of the slow movement of the Brahms Violin Concerto!

Geoff

Yeah, alright. I'm still paying for the unicorns anyways.

[Geoff Millar]

Uhm...you wouldn't like to sell any of that stuff...would you?

I decided my system wasn't quite good enough to satisfy the blizzard of advertorial and YouTube clips which tell me what I was missing out on:

• receiver performance was dramatically boosted with the addition of new WTF branded LED faceplate and wiggly line generator.

• with the help of home loan redraw, oxygen- and orgon-free activated speaker wire was combined with carbon fibre carpet isolation bridge technology and platinum impregnated male, and beryllium impregnated female direct speaker connections, to provide hyper opinionated signal to the speaker crossover.

• for optimum sound, lithium based foil capacitors from Blitzen of Bulgaria were matched with hand wound, medicinal grade copper inductors and Wowee brand resistors from S.N. Oil and Co.

• speakers were then located in a new, purpose built listening room with each wall painted a different colour to better enhance reproduction offrequencies over 20kHz.

But the 1926 recording of the Beethoven Violin Concerto by Fritz Kreisler still sounded awful!

Hi there ! , yeah i noticed i made a few typo's in my video :( it happens. English is indeed not my native language, although there where some faults i should have spotted for sure. i also dont envy making more of this kind of content (does not feel good). although i still think the lecture was completely ridiculous.

hats of to the 2 people that recognized me from DiyAudio thats weird dude !! i hope you do like the other content, although be it often long, i tend to also include stuff that does not work. some may think thats taken to long, i think it could be helpfull.

Exactly. My crazy speaker project that has dragged for some time surely has some scratchin' their heads. Who cares? It's only my money. I'm not holding anyone responsible if it is a complete and total, utter failure in the end. But it won't be.

You'll get it to work, don't worry. Besides, you're basing everything on measurements and SIMs. No unicorns or pixie dust.

I would love a VU "BS" meter that looked like that! I don't even own anything that uses a VU meter, but i'd throw it on a box just for novelty's sake.

Buy an analog VU meter carefully disassemble it, remove the front face and apply the appropriate text.

I don't really care what people believe in or buy, as long as I don't have to pay for it.

Craig,

Craig, you don't find the "Audiophile HSN" laughable.

Truthfully, I am so sick of beat to death post like this. I don't finf them anything but disgusting. No persons mind is ever changed. I kind of like the idea of enjoy what you have. If you enjoy low, mid or hifi, fine with me. If you think lamp cords are good for speaker cable, or want to spend $ 10 K on them, fine with me. I am tired of how it appears some people get off when telling others how stupid they are for spending money on anything they don't spprove of. Is this reslly the purpose of this forum.

[kenny_k]

If that made you " lmfao" you need to get out more.

I don't get that, but how's this?

Is that a DerrZinger?
