ColonialHoo Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Maybe I need some of these to go with my 'clever little clock'. I'll bet these would make my Khorns sound really good.

NMR Guy Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 I saw this ad too,....I haven't decided if this is some kind of joke, or some sick joker playing his games. In an audio industry salted with vendors selling snake oil, and peppered with "Audiophile" reviewers saying the snake oil is worth megebucks, the industry as a whole has this kind of thing coming in spades! I hope Stereophile or The Absolute Sound reviews them! Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEAR Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Let me place my bid,these magic beans will become a Stereophile recommended component ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macho Nacho Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 What was that, 'don't step in the elephant sh!t'? Hey can you eat those beans? I'm hungary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRBILL Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 When I was a college kid ('50's) everyone was supposed to balance a Mercury-head dime on top of their cartridge shell. Roosevelt wouldn't do. Can you believe that it accomplished exactly the same results as the pebbles! And what a savings! It just so happens that I have a small box of them in the back of my desk drawer. I could let them go for -- say -- $50 each. Naturally, I pay for the S/H. Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbert Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 These will have the same affect, at a fraction of the cost. And these are guaranteed rare and one-of-kind..... http://cgi.ebay.com/Coprolite-Fossil-Reptile-Dino-Dung-Poop-Turd-1-2-Dozen_W0QQitemZ6278978494QQcategoryZ13766QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiser SET say Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 DRBILL & Gilbert are tearing me up here! LMAO Hey, they might be like the ones Jack-In-The-Beanstalk had, you know MAGIC[] Tweaks have always been a fine line item with me but things such as these stones in a bottle (by the way I think I have seen a high end reviewer review these) and Cryo treatments are too far fetched for me to even consider and if I had them and someone saw them I would be so [:$] IMHO room treatments and Isolation are true tweaks but even a lot of those are edgy and over priced! How about the Cloud stuff, rubber balls and mass stamped out plexi for $100 or $300 bones; please! Used Tennis balls (usually free at any club) cut in half which I know I have been using in some applications for 20 years would be better than spending money on the designer Cloud product. A $6.00 piece of wood and a $24.00 set of Vibra Pods does the same thing at 300% less monetary outlay! PT was right and they have the cash!

Def Leper Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I recently purchased a used turntable that came with a Ringmat Developments record mat that costs $100 and is, essentially, a disk of heavy paper with some small rings of cork on either side, three on one side and two on the other side. The whole thing is utterly amateur and rediculous but I have no doubt that anyone dumb enough to pay that much money for one would say it improved the sound. It couldn't have cost more than a dollar or two to produce and a striking feature of the company's web site is..... no pictures. What a surprise!!

CECAA850 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I've actually seen them before. They've been around a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jheis Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 I emailed him inquiring as to whether the "white paper" came on a roll. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Def Leper Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 No, it's a bit too heavy to have come on a roll, but I was surprised that it didn't have Denny's menu printed on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Blacksmith Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Yep, seen them before also, they go well with cable risers and green markers for your CD's[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
