For sure, I’m just guessing they hope people will use it like magic stones

xps according to sorbothane.com, it can be used both for vibration isolation and vibration damping, so not sure that is correct:

xps I think that describes two different modes of reducing vibration between things, not sucking it out of the air. I’m sure it would prevent e.g. sound from bouncing off a surface (which is also a coupling thing) but I strongly doubt you’d unwrap a sorbothane mat and the room would go quiet.

people I think we all need to consider this incredible breakthrough: I present the ground box.https://www.entreq.com/en-GB/products/ground-boxes-17667704Sceptical? What if I told you that
By attaching an Entreq ground box with Eartha cables to your gear, you can eliminate high-frequency pollution, resulting in more detailed and clear music. You will experience a better flow, more air, and improved dynamics.It's like driving a car with the handbrake on and then releasing it, everything works smoother.

i thought this was amusing/cool, was researching these headphones and there's nothing special about this review other than the fact the two reference tracks cited by the author that they used were Psychic TV and the Mekons instead of the usual warhorses

ums that's kinda funny and reminds me of a guy i crossed paths with in my music retail days...he read all the audiophile snakeoil mags/features and so would hear about the highest fidelity recordings ―stuff made by established experts who, no snark, knew exactly what they were doing― and that ended up being quite a bit of experimental music. pretty funny to see a guy buy all the hdcd rolling stones reissues, along with his special order of the david sylvian blemish remix album (it got high marks in terms of fidelity).

yeah some of them have more diverse tastes than you might think and even the reference album canon evolves over time, like I see Random Access Memories and Mezzanine by Massive Attack a fair amount now, the first Norah Jones record..Buena Vista Social Club

True story, aged 17 in 1987 I was introduced to Laurie Anderson’s Mister Heartbreak by a hifi store person demoing speakers I could never afford using “Gravity’s Angel”. Drums sounded spectacular but the track itself blew my mind. Didn’t buy the speakers but I bought the CD when I found it a few months later.

oooh I am definitely hesitating - once I would have been phone no question - but after tasting the succulent fruits of mid-fi sound reproduction it is hard to settle for tinny distortion and no bass

Scrolling through the Mofi artist list on the site there are about a dozen I'm interested in ever hearing again. I don't care if At Folsom Prison sounds like I'm in the cafeteria, I want to hear it once a year, tops. I will take my phone over becoming a Deadhead out of necessity.
