Have you heard or own the Shakti Hallograph

I own three VPI bricks. Got one for free, and two for the single price of $25.
One VPI brick is usefully on top of a BIG old square transformer for the (separate) power supply of my VAC Standard.
The other two are in case of intruders... wacking them on the head with one of the VPI bricks WILL cave in their skull, easy.

Now Geoff You KNOW i can accept most tweaks.. Just the Stupidity of the PRICE of the Shakti Hallograph is what irks me. They are charging for the idea. Not to great an idea IMO.
So, as i said, if the gizmo had been a hundred bucks Hell, even $200 i would not be carping, But forget $1,700 it is for morons with way more money than brains.
I could MAKE the thing for $5 retail wood.
But i never will... it is stupid.
Bybee How did they think a small gizmo with parts cost of $35 was worth $4,200 except to born a minute RICH suckers. No poor fool would waste his/her money on it.
So was the Tice clock, as i mentioned. Another PT barnum device.
Your chips?... you seem to have stopped selling them.

I can go for crystals, and various nearly free crazy stuff, where I pay materials cost to fiddle around. It's fun. No problem. I just hate folks taking these simple ideas, adding a HUGE dose of BS theory and metaphysical crap, then selling it to wealthy fools.(the big word is Quantum, lately..)
Why i should care? I don't know. If the idiot rich want to throw away money on garbage, who am I to complain?

It really is jealousy. i am jealous some folks can throw away a few grand on crazy sruff.
I mean I throw away money on crazy stuff...but it usually is only in the hundreds.
I am CERTAIN if i was a multimillionaire i would not think twice about blowing a wad on some crazy gizmo which catches my eye. Even if just for something to talk about with my fellows. I wear my designer cloths, drive my luxury car, wear my $200,000 watch.. drop all the rightt names.. all the important rich stuff.
So i apologize in my own smarmy sleazy way to all crazy rich folks out there who own these gizmos.

The usual sort of crap apologetics includes the insult someone could have fed starving children with that wasted cash.. Not me. Forget starving brats. Spend it on booze I say.
Thank you very much.

Clearly I am in a tiny minority here so i apologize to all the rich fools, OOPS! i mean wealth investors of these marvelous products.
Great to read glowing reviews of them.
Glad the economy is good for some folks.
For me, on my pittance i get as a handout for having worked for 30 years, i cannot dream of affording this shit.
However, do not let my obvious poverty keep you from your toys.
LOL.
Anyway, I am alone and outnumbered. No one else seems to be upset this crap exists, so i will go off to my hovel and sulk.. and listen to some Jazz on my 'near' poverty level setup. At least i have a shack to keep it in besides under the local bridge with the rest of the homeless.
To cheer myself up i will go out today and buy a few hundred buck worth of used Jazz LPs..

I hope my ranting and raving like a strung out crack whore has not upset anyone.

I would never sell off my main stuff.
My BIG plan if things go really bad is to ROB BANKS for a living.
This seems like a good way to get money fast. Easy too.
And if i get caught, I STILL have a place to stay. LOL!

So no, I will not sell off my Brystons..
However, if you read I suddenly aquired a pair of Bryston 28B-SST2, you can assume i either won big in the lottery, or started my dream sideline of robbing banks
(8^Q...

I am amazed and astounded. Stunned even. Here is a wierd, rare tweak toy, and more than a half dozen users pop up proclaiming it is manna from heaven.
Suspicious. a conspiracy if you ask me.
Usually you can't get two folks to agree on anything.
How did this happen/
Maybe Shakti Hallograph is the next Holy Grail of Audio?

Well the first gunman on the grassy knoll was Elvis. that is why he had to disappear.. Elvis is currently in hiding in a monastary in Uzbekistan
The second gunman was Jazkszki Ubrovjanzjska.
A highly secretive hitman for the Polish mafia. Little is know of her whereabouts since the hit. i think she is in the foundation of some Dallas skyscraper myself.

And YOU thought i did not know?
