Amusing & Sad

Ran across this link on AVGuide.com (apologies if someone already posted it).

Do people actually buy this stuff?

 

[Adam]

Hahahahaha!!! That's hilarious!

I'm pretty sure that whole site is intended to be a joke - I don't think that you could order that stuff even if you wanted to. Somebody is just poking fun at all the BS audio products out there.

Snookered

On more careful reading, I realized these ads are parodies (at least I hope so). Good stuff!

Right! Good catch.

I wouldn't be too sure about it being a hoax.

If it is, I believe it was derived from this "real" site.

I'm particulalary fond of the "teleportation tweak".

I like the HoleyStone, in the tube version. Everyone knows that tubes are better!

Oh, too bad.
I had my credit card out and in the ready.

Nicely done.

The Acousto-sphere could almost certainly be a real product.

But somewhere between that at the top and "Knut-Ballz" at the bottom, the joke becomes clear.

None of this is actually any loonier than Machina Dynamica, though. The "teleportation tweak" is simply awe-inspiring.

I think that it was the clothes pin structure that got me thinking, and then the $20k oil funnel gave it away to me.

Now you guys tell me it's a joke.
I just got done wiping the oil off my funnel and listing it on Ebay.
And I thought $500 was a pretty good starting bid price.

 

[Starmax]

yeah, from the clothes pins on it was an obvious send-up...before that it was ludicrous but semi-plausible.

That was you? I bid $550.

Today only (so grab this deal while it's hot), I'll do it over this forum for AH members for the rock bottom price of $20.*

In fact, I'll even tweak your system for a limited time for free. That's right - FREE. Just turn on your system, read this post, and the harmonics will be dramatically improved for a duration of 10 minutes.* It will help immensely if you are drunk at the time.

Are you ready? Here goes the trial offer - SHAZAM! Nine minutes and fifty-eight seconds remaining...

[*Obligatory legal disclaimer: Not really. ]

 

[Starmax]

How about immensely drunk?

 

[Adam]

How about immensely drunk?

Even better.

Just don't go all Pure Direct and blow out your woofers like Greg does.

 

[Starmax]

I have never been able to tell a difference in sound quality between Pure Direct and just plain ol' Direct.

Then you need some of those thingies at Machnica Dynamica. They could probably set you up over the phone...

 

[Starmax]

Who needs a phone? I do business over the astral plane nowdays.

I tell ya, that's the only way to fly.

Given that, there's no way that I'll sell you a forum-based tweak. Darn it.

That's what Tim Leary used to say.

Go ahead and make me an offer. I was born about a minute ago.
