Sometimes when I see a product, I have to stop and admire it. It's such a dumb and obviously worthless idea, I literally could not have come up with it. It either takes a special stupid, or special brilliance to con people into buying it. So I thought I'd start a thread of the best audio snake oil.
So fill in the best
you can find. Whether it makes you go
or
or
(turn the boat around) .
I came up with this idea when someone on headfi linked to this ebay company after purchasing a bunch of their "products"
From their description:
