New audiophile device brought to our attention

Yeah, but you can do that with a filament transformer.

Sure, but it's boring. I'd rather listen to Jaco Pastorius records for a similar effect.

"Michael A. Terrell" hath wroth:

I also built a virginity meter in college, but this is a family newsgroup, so I won't go there.

The ambience and presence meter had a practical basis. In the 1960's, the various magazines (Popular Electronics, Radio Electronics, etc) had discovered hi-fi. Articles on the topic were epidemic and interest was high. Many of the articles used superlatives that defied definition and measurement. "The amplifier has a velvet texture to the strings", was typical. Ambience and presence were mentioned so often in these articles, that I decided it was time to cash in and build a suitable measurement instrument. The plan was to supply a line of similar instruments, suitable for mass consumption. My friends and advisors universally agreed that it was a terrible idea, which provided the necessary incentive. I wasn't quite sure what it was going to actually measure, but that could be worked on after I designed the package. As with all my great ideas, I ran out of time, money, interest, or something, and never progressed beyond the initial prototype.

Looks like I over estimated your sense of humor. :(

Rane spoofs themselves -

You were the Tidy Bowl Guy? Yes. I'm cleaning your bathroom bowl.

Sorry but you need an audiophile CD player to play the CD. The texture, soundstage, chromatic balance and realism will all be attenuated with a cheap player and result in a biased burn-in. Don't forget to put green marker around the edge of the CD while you are at it so restless photons don't mess things up.

Nothing's changed then.

If everyone knew, the meter wouldn't work.

He realised there were an awful lot of gullible audiophools out there that had money to spend?

Like I said. It is a worthless piece of shit designed merely to suck cash away from utter idiots. It is 100% useless, and contains *maybe* $20 worth of parts, and that is on the low volume price schedule.
