forbigger Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 Sennheiser or AKG or any of those headphone companies come up with supposedly audiophile grade wireless headphone then I believe the following would happen: 1. Big war on HF, cable vs wireless 2. Snake oil company will come up with "atmosphere treatment" so that RF will travel more freely and no interruption on the air thus increasing SQ What else you guys reckon would happens ? Quote
Salt Peanuts Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 2. Snake oil company will come up with "atmosphere treatment" so that RF will travel more freely and no interruption on the air thus increasing SQ I'm pretty sure there are already several companies claiming something similar. Quote
forbigger Posted March 25, 2010 Author Report Posted March 25, 2010 Yeah, reminds me about that Lossless shit Quote
rogue Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 3) MarkL "reviews" them and calls them rubbish without his $2000 mod, which consists of changing the ear cups to "RFI impervious" balsa wood and super-gluing a pair of gold-plated rabbit ear TV antennas to the phones. Quote
Nebby Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 You mean that Lessloss shit? Blackbody - $959.00 : LessLoss high end audio power cables, video power cables, audiophile power cables, audiophile cables Quote

MUSICDIRECT - SHAKTI - ELECTROMAGNETIC STABILIZER STONE Quote
n_maher Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 My favorite part of Lessloss's business plan, It is true that the longer lengths of the DFPC sound just a little bit better than the shorter lengths... Riiiiiiiight, so now you're telling me that I have to buy longer cables to get the best sound possible. Quote
The Monkey Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 As I understand it, the Lessloss stuff helps with the electromagnetic mojo (or lack thereof) between your components. Does it work on ghosts, too? Quote
Salt Peanuts Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 Hmmm, "the electromagnetic mojo," I think you got something there, Dinny. Go copyright it and start a business! Quote
Nebby Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 As I understand it, the Lessloss stuff helps with the electromagnetic mojo (or lack thereof) between your components. Does it work on ghosts, too? The Shakti Stone uses proprietary noise reduction circuitry to absorb and dissipate electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). Both EMI and RFI degrade the signal transfer in all audio systems. Through an energy conversion process, the Shakti Stone uses an antenna-like circuit to absorb these fi elds and dissipate them as heat. The Shakti Stone: powered by ghosts. Quote
forbigger Posted March 25, 2010 Author Report Posted March 25, 2010 if that lessloss stuff was real there would be a Nobel prize in it. i will get one if it's real Quote
CarlSeibert Posted March 26, 2010 Report Posted March 26, 2010 Hey, that stone is just a brick, more or less. A two hundred dollar brink, I grant you, but still, what's the fun in a brick? I want the stones you scotch tape to your cables! Disclaimer 1: Putting something heavy on top of a cabinet, particularly a flimsy one, is often a good idea. Disclaimer 2: Far be it from me to imply that the psychological effects of scotch taping rocks to one's interconnects couldn't make a system's sound, which is perceived after all, better. For a while anyway. It's just that, well. Scotch tape! Rocks! Hmm. Scotch. Rocks. Maybe there is something to this power of suggestion stuff...... Quote
Beefy Posted March 26, 2010 Report Posted March 26, 2010 The problem with audiophile grade wireless headphones, is how do you plan to fit half of a B52 in each earcup? Quote
Currawong Posted March 26, 2010 Report Posted March 26, 2010 Audio Technica already has a $1k wireless headphone rig. NFI if it's any good. I think it's based on the AD1000, but I could be wrong. Maybe I should add it to the list of things to plug in when I re-do the W1000X shootout at Best Denki. Quote
Salt Peanuts Posted March 26, 2010 Report Posted March 26, 2010 no, see, you replace the interconnects between the source and the amp with the wireless link, and then have a cable going from the amp to the headphones. or you power the headphones with a powerful microwave beam. Like the Grado system that never materialized save for few units that popped up in Japan. Quote
Salt Peanuts Posted March 26, 2010 Report Posted March 26, 2010 Damnit, you got in before I could fix my post. Quote
Salt Peanuts Posted March 26, 2010 Report Posted March 26, 2010 Here's the Stereophile report about the Grado vaporware that eventually turned into PS-1. Stereophile: Grado Labs, Singapore's FreeSystems Announce Wireless Headphones ...and a product brochure. Quote
Salt Peanuts Posted March 26, 2010 Report Posted March 26, 2010 Quality... Elegance... Purity... sounds like the ad copy of some high falutin' water filter pitcher. Grado Springs - World's first audiophile-grade bottled water. Quote

Can't wait for the SimCity microwave disaster...... Quote
guzziguy Posted March 26, 2010 Report Posted March 26, 2010 The problem with audiophile grade wireless headphones, is how do you plan to fit half of a B52 in each earcup? What does B52 have in common with "audiophile grade"? no, see, you replace the interconnects between the source and the amp with the wireless link, and then have a cable going from the amp to the headphones. or you power the headphones with a powerful microwave beam. Nah, just replace both with MilSpec wireless. Quote
Beefy Posted March 26, 2010 Report Posted March 26, 2010 What does B52 have in common with "audiophile grade"? Precisely. Quote
