High-end Audiophile equipment; hilariously expensive or outrageously useless? - General

[QUOTE=bravehat;22735233]Cause it's black. Black absorbs a lot of different types of light/radiation then the material of the box's active part will probably have an effect as well so effectively what happens is any light or radiation that strikes it under goes witch craft I can't be bothered reading/assimilating just now and good things happen. :science:[/QUOTE] So in summary: "Magic" The best part is that it was describing how you can have someone slowly sweep the anti-beam across your equipment and you can hear changes depending on what circuits it's striking. To have an instantaneous effect at a distance, i'm gonna go with the whole "EM vacuum" thing. EDIT: [QUOTE=BrickInHead;22735238]true audiophiles use analog so I don't really see why they'd buy this[/QUOTE] I'm going to assume you're talking about the USB cord. I think it's for use in things like ripping vinyl to digital and similar actions. There's some pictures on the page for the USB cord that show it hooked up in a audio set-up, maybe you can gather something from that.

[QUOTE=BrickInHead;22735238]true audiophiles use analog so I don't really see why they'd buy this[/QUOTE] ...cause analogue would be effected by EM waves catching on cables and shit.

On purely digital cables materials with low capacitance must be used, or you can get some distortions, too.

And it says on the site it interacts with the EM produced by the gear itself.

There's no explanation for how it can interact with the EM instantaneously from 5+ feet away with no energy source. Being black doesn't make something an EM hole. And I know it doesn't have mass, I don't mean a literal vacuum, just some function that attracts EM waves from a distance.

Might suppress the noise causing signals. Honestly I'll just stick with a faraday cage though.

And actually theoretically effective

hey guys i'm working on a small box that will bounce away graviton AND tachyon pulses from the sun's radioactive sun bursts that will protect the quality of your sound by using inverse psychomagnetic theoretical loop technology, to stick said particles in a infinite loop, then when musical devices are off, the vibro-engineered sensor uses a magnetic gravity barrier to cause a fault in the infinite loop, dispersing them harmlessly all while you're not listening to your music. [I]warning may cause time-distortions and/or black holes[/I]

Whatever that thing is, if I ever make a scifi film I want It to be the save-or-end-the-known-universe device and have it glow a cool blue colour

Well, technically speaking, you can get signal degeneration on a digital cable. However, with the large amount of EM radiation required for that, you'd have other problems to worry about.

Useless. This thing is it.

Hmmm, maybe this will make my earphones sound better :downs: Anyone who has enough money to buy this and is stupid enough to do so doesn't deserve that money in the first place.

I don't understand this thread.

Fucking MIRACLES!

Someone needs to buy the black box thing and try to open it to find out what the flying fuck it actually contains.

Oh me and my 256 kb bitrate mp3s

I'm not a big audio junkie, but how do the Apple headphones stack up? (ps please call me a macfag i get a boner from it)

[QUOTE=GoldenGnome;26393386]I'm not a big audio junkie, but how do the Apple headphones stack up? (ps please call me a macfag i get a boner from it)[/QUOTE] Nice bump, but I'll answer it anyway. Not well. They're not the worst earphones you could buy, but they come close, and have the durability of porcelain. And to a proper audiophile, they'd probably throw them back in your face in disgust. These guys buy headphones that cost thousands of dollars, mang. As for me, my AD700s and FLAC audio piped from a Xonar DX is enough for me, I don't think I'm gonna be delving into proper audiophile gear anytime soon.

Come on I posted the link to this in my current, active topic :colbert: and apple headphones are pretty shitty. Uncomfortable and poor sounding. I'd recommend anything Sennheiser, they seem to make consistently good headphones
