acoustic discs from DH Cones.  The company appears to have a very good reputation as a result of its well received cones.  This tweak, if works, should have a very high WAF acceptance.  Heck, it would have a high acceptance from me.

Thanks.

For that price, you can build simple corner traps that will definitely absorb unwanted reflections. I'd rather do that than give money to the company that markets the "Intelligent Chip".

I have used them in a situation where I couldn't put a corner absorber up (where my front "wall" was actually a floor-to-ceiling sliding glass door and couldn't pin/nail a corner absorber on the glass).  It helped, but certainly not to the level something like an Echo Buster Corner Buster or (even better) an Eighth Nerve Adapt Triangle...both of which IMHO are among the easiest to convince a wife/sig-other are reasonable aesthetically...

Sounds like BS to me.  30-50% reduction of spectral decay from a few discs?  Nonsense.   The discs would have to be enormous to do that.  This can be done with more sensible room tweaks.

No doubt the disks are, um, paramagnetic, and, um, affect the quantum spin of, um, particles in the eighth dimension, allowing the disks, to, er, hurl intersecting cones (it has to be either a cone or a pyramid, right?) of time-shifting, um, flux. Yeah, flux. Which enables them to operate as if they were 4 feet across. Yeah. That's the ticket.

Hey, we already know the Intelligent Chip has solved the problem of the teleportation of matter, since it can rewrite CDs, literally moving the pits into correct alignment. And without using any energy source! And if they've solved teleportation and the energy crisis with nothing more that a piece of plastic with 3 little metal dots inside, then I think we have to assume that the very fabric of space-time is theirs to command.

Which has some disturbing implications if you think about it. Maybe we better not tick these people off. It's bad to irritate people who have the very fabric of space-time at their fingertips.  :o

Regarding the discs, all I'll say is "don't know 'em til you try 'em" (even though I think there are far more effective alternatives if you are not constrained by wall material or other factors)... :D

OMG, shhh, don't tell Dan Banquer about the Magic Rings that operate on the principle of "energy organization"  :rotflmao:

In fairness, putting anything on walls breaks up the reflective properties of the wall, and I suppose even a tiny disk has to have *some* diffusive properties. I think a hemisphere shape would have been a much better plan, but a disk is almost certainly cheaper to manufacture - and Golden Sound seems to be about markup.

My view has always been: when a manufacturer stars spewing pseudoscience or patently false claims for any one of their products, buy nothing at all from them. If enough people take this view, manufacturers will eventually learn to back off the pseudoscience, and audiophilia might become respectable someday. :-)

You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope some day you'll all join us.  :lol:

Hm... Dan, I can't help noticing that some of these devices have a logo that is remarkably like your initials. Co-incidence??? I think not...



Now that I have discovered your true game, I have some questions for you about these Ultra Tweeters: 1. Are your amps manly enough to generate the Gigahertz signal required to improve the energy flow in my conductors, and 2. will it hurt my dog?

It looks like someone is stealing my initials. Well legally I can't do anything about it but wait till they try to steal my logo which is a registered trademark.
If you want to get microwave signals with enough power for your tweeter just use the magnetron out of your microwave oven. Is your tweeter up to the task?  :mrgreen:
And pray tell John; just exactly what are you trying to cook with your tweeters? Something a bit more than popcorn? or are still trying to change the color of your whorehouse red audition couch?  :)

I have used them and it is going to be subtle difference depending in your current setup.  Don't expect to get a dramatic improvement though.  Some have claimed extreme differences like upgrading components to the next level.  Most of it is in your mind.   :lol: Hehe he
