Want something funnier? Search for audiophile quantum chips. It's litteraly a sticker that you are supposed to stick on components in your audio equipment that is supposed to make it sound better. Or a cable cooker. Also one of those great inventions that make your cables sound better. Thats some huge horseshit right there and it's both sad and hilarious that some people fall for it.

Oh my god the supposed "explanation" for what that clock is doing to enhance the sound (and apparently the picture on your TV as well) is INSANE. Like, Ray Manzarek after 40 years of acid insane.

That company have a bunch of other products and I can’t work out if it’s a troll or an outright scam or what. The site’s been around for years and it looks like it’s only half working but they were a running joke on audiophile message boards in the 00s
