Be aware that some of the "quantum" stickers have thorium dioxide in the adhesive, so they may be mildly radioactive. As a precaution, wash your hands after handling them as ingesting alpha emitter material is not a good health thing. The ones I checked out that are sold to protect special people from their phone's 5G death beams were radioactive. That phat resistor in the power conditioner thing is a resistive dropper. So the case should get reassuringly warm in use. (It's the cheapest way to run the LED flasher from the mains.)

“This should be illegal” It is, under the Consumer Packaging and Labelling Act. These companies get away with it because they’re so small, rarely have any actual legal presence in a given country, and are only enforced when people complain to the relivent authority. In LTT’s case, that’d be the Competition Bureau’s Deceptive Marketing Practices Directorate. For those quantum stickers, if they are in fact radioactive, reporting them to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission would be smart. Such “frivolous” uses of radioactive materials are very, very illegal.

Burn-in isn't absolutely hogwash. I make electronic test equipment for measuring photodiodes and they have to be burned in due to the extreme sensitivity of the measurements. I'm using a Keithley 237 Source-Measure Unit and applying a few hundred volts and watching the current. It'll drop from ~1's of µAs to sub nAs. No one has been able to explain exactly whats going on, but the supposition is that contaminants are getting migrated or its something to do with surface charge. It definitely helps to heat it up in an oven while you're doing it. I dont think any of this would ever be noticeable in audio equipment, but there is evidence of burn-in being real. I spent a lot of money on my headphones and when I first got them I was ready to send them back immediately, but I played metal at 150% comfortable listening levels for like 24 hours and it made an absolute difference. I figure its probably from the foam fatiguing to be a little more compliant or maybe even some "deburring" if you will, and I'm sure you wont.

the Q-vibe is the worst because it IS possible to do what they're advertising. make a very big very precise notch filter out of giant caps and coils and pass everything that isn't exactly 60Hz in the wall through a resistor, and it'll turn any noise on the circuit into heat. but the resulting box would be massive and at that point you're better off just using a normal in-line passive filter that just blocks the noise by being a 60Hz resonator / band-pass filter.

@StubbyPhillips Жыл бұрын
"Hyperaudiophilia" can be a serious mental condition. It occurs when an audiophile (hi-fi enthusiast, nothing wrong with that) achieves a level of sound quality that can not be significantly improved, but feels compelled to continue trying to do so at any cost. It's a form of addiction and can cause otherwise intelligent, rational individuals to be taken in by what others clearly see as nonsensical claims related to sham products. Such products tend to be extremely expensive and, generally speaking, do nothing at all.

@@jamescruz8678One of my favs back in the CD days was a weighted disc to make the CD more of a flywheel to "smooth out the data stream." Works for vinyl, right? Well, the data goes into a buffer and is paced out by a clock. so... If anything it just made it harder for the motor to adjust disc speed to keep the buffer fed.

I worked in a local old-school stereo store for almost 20 years. Owned by a great man, conscientious and customer-service oriented. He built an anechoic room in one of our locations, outfitted with the then-current measurement gear so we could perform our own measurements. Just that alone was an eye-opener compared to what the manufacturers were claiming. We carried many brands from 3 figure price tags to 6 figures. I also worked with an equally amazing service tech. The BS from OEMs was off the chart back then too. I was there when we got our first retail CD player. Thanks for showing how much hype and nonsense is still going on with these a-holes selling this garbage. When it comes to stereo/audio equipment, it doesn't stop with these doo-dads either...great work guys!

14:04 "That's like having a burn-in time on your tap" Well, actually -- 🤓 Yes I'm aware I'm likely to get slaughtered with nerd emojis, but my grandfather actually works in plumbing, and any time he would replace our well filters or run delimer through the heater, we'd have to run all the taps for 2 or 3 minutes to flush out the old water and potential leftover chemicals so that fresh water would come through the next time we had to shower or something. Burn-in on audio is a myth though, speakers are not motors or batteries and will run pretty much the same whether their new or old or in different environments.

Those CD stickers might have actually been useful once upon a time. Music companies had released some albums that you were supposedly unable to copy/burn to your PC etc. The way to get around it was to get a marker and cover up the writing on the center of the disc.
