It has to be a spoof.....surely?

 

[felix]

I've taken that to be a spoof so far; I suppose the upcoming StereoTimes review will prove it (Reductio ad absurdam of course...)

 

[Mr_Sukebe]

I love the review by Kot, "grabbed by the balls so that I couldn't move..."
That's ace. Good find Rob.

Surprised they haven't used coconuts for their products. Now i wonder if i am on to something here. You will have to be quick as i am thinking of patenting my idea.

 

[johnandchris]

Hmmm. Pure silver cables in sealed Teflon tubing injected with coconut milk with a cocunut fibre screen!!!

 

[ditton]

what I like is the objective explanation of how the product actually works:

"Clear Quartz internally shaped like a parabola collects noise from the component and cleans it by using piezoelectricity.

"SeaShell is cup shaped and can be placed on top of knobs or buttons. The added benefit is that it blocks environmental RFI from entering the component through the gap surrounding the buttons. It can even shield unused RCA outputs or any other holes or gaps in the chassis."

Coconut

A spoof? I do not think so. there are actual bids on this and a pink shell sold for 130$

I wish I had the neck to do this

 

[Haselsh1]

It all sounds a bit Peter Belt and rather electret to me.

I tend to agree. I thought it was spoof and found it amusing, but if it's not, the mind boggles.

I am currently selling some Brazil nut isolation pods to sit a CD player on. They look like ordinary Brazil Nuts but they are specially chosen for their sonic properties. Only £150 a set of 4!!!!!

 

[rsand]

Do they come in chocolate John?

 

[johnandchris]

No. Chocolate causes unwanted resonance. I am looking into the properties of sugarcoating though!!

 

[rsand]

The extra coca mass in dark chocolate gives a superior darkness to the base but the white chocolate gives a sweeter top end. Somewhere in the middle is desirably milky

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse........

I don't think we should knock things simply because we can't explain the science behind them.
I once knew a young lady who had a seashell tattooed on the inside of her thigh.If you put your ear to it you could actually smell the ocean.
