Website for audiophile snake-oil products?
« on: January 14, 2012, 07:57:01 PM »
What was that website that mocked audiophile snake-oil products? I forgot what it was.

While we are on this topic:

http://stefanaudioart.com/Headphone%20cable%20TA%20IC

 The Endorphin Ribbon Umbilical Power IC is made of an ultra-pure, extremely thin copper hybrid ribbon material consisting of the purest copper formulated with a proprietary superconductive material and incorporates an extremely efficient micro-dielectric material.

I didn't know scientists and engineers were capable yet of making superconductive materials at room temperature. Can anyone tell me were to get this stuff? I want to make a $500 power cable for my ECBA too.

I believe you're thinking of the mad genius Patrick82 and the website he created after getting banned from headfi

LOL. I should create a special power umbilical for the BA and make it as thick the Judge power cable to bring to the Bay Area meet. Craig will then come by and go WTF is this...

How did he get banned?

I can imagine a million reasons why he could have been banned.  Posting pictures of himself wearing nothing but underwear and the Judge power cable maybe?  Haha.  Or just talking out of his ass all the time.  I bet someone didn't get the funny and wanted things more serious.

Well you have to understand that the majority of the cost goes into making the integrated phase change cooling system for the cable which allows for the creation of a bose-einstein condensate at the meager expense of a 1200w power supply and a 10kg attachment. Always pushing the state of the art, that Stefan

That would be funny if someone actually made a refrigerated superconducting power cable that itself would require 1200w to power.

I don't know what you trolls are talking about but my custom made super-conductive special alloy interconnects work wonderfully with the carbon fiber heat treated macromolecular power cables I have, not to mention the cryo-treated, special polymer dielectric speaker cables I have.

Jeezzz....I know I can hear a difference... :P

Darn tootin'!

I even have my equipment set up on rare metal geo-magnetic balls to neutralize any stray vibrations caused by CD player laser. My isometric anti-seismic equipment rack weighs nearly 5 tons and I can totally hear the improvement it made in my system!!! Amazing!
