The most absurd review?

[Maab]

While searching for my new speakers i stepped into this madness:
http://www.inner-magazines.com/news/279/63/Chisto-lotions-Nordost-Kones/

This guy wrote:
"I wasn't entirely enthused about the expensive Titanium Sort Kones, because they appeared to add to the sound some metallic tones and colors. But the following model downwards, the Bronze Sort Kones were excellent: I felt that the sound was clearly bettered. The price/quality ratio of the Bronze is very good, whereas the Aluminium steel model can cause problems in the bass. But one can always combine the Sort Kones in order to obtain the best results. I placed the Bronze Kones under the Hydra 8 power supply of my BelCanto 3.5, and the difference was almost dramatic: better transients, better dynamics. Four Bronze Sort Kones cost 350 euro but add something essential to the sound. The only problem is that having Sort Kones somewhere one starts to miss them elsewhere, under every device, and then the cost will be ... Warmly recommended."

LOL!


Is this the most absurd audio related review? When is it going to end...?

That is rather crazy .... clearly the titanium/ceramic combo should be the clear winner here.

But chocolate ice cream cones give a dark, sweet, yet cool, sound.

Immediately made me think of this thread from years ago.

The original videos are locked, but they've been mirrored. Here's a "good" one.

You guys are quite right about this review. I just don't see it having anything to do with reality. Yet, I'm admitted very skeptical about lots of tweaks. Some of the ones I've heard about and tried in the past only made problems worse.

When the last fool is parted from his money. The thing is, there is a sucker born every minute, so there will likely be no end, until humans become extinct.

After reading the articles about lotions and then cones, and then watching the video of some a$$hat going crazy with paper, I want to punch someone in the face.

 

[j_garcia]

Yeah....paper is always a good thing to put into a hot electronic device

 

[Maab]

One more thing I would like to add is this: does this guy really believe in what is saying? Any doctor around here?...

 

[mtrycrafts]

Yeah....paper is always a good thing to put into a hot electronic device

Doesn't the gene pool needs thinning yet?

Pyrrho gets my vote for the best answer.
