I would class Beats headphones as a fashion item where the pose factor is what matters.

Most of this
originates from the US. The fact that Trump was elected shows how gullible they are. It must be selling.

I ordered one under the BMU. The selling point was: "eliminate the vibration from the speakers by changing it into thermal energy". This thing is literally free, you save its price on the heating.
I mean it, really.

The way I see it the proliferation of these overpriced nonsense tweaks seems to be following the financial difficulties most hi-end hi-fi shops are in. Customers are drying up as they die off, new major sales of product are disappearing, all the major manufacturer rely entirely now on the export market and grossly over inflated prices. The dealers need something to sell to their remaining brain washed twats they have cultivated over the years, so we get these fantasy ludicrous things being promoted. That Fluxed arse knows exactly what he is doing as Martin is an egotist almost to Marco level regarding his system - just try to criticise it!! Play to that ego, money no problem, desire for something new to brag about, and before you know it the owner of the forum is on message shafting his own members. AND MCRU is not stupid, in he jumps to try and get a piece of the action. Just look at his last two posts, butter wouldn't melt in his mouth, but read the message behind the words.

Emporium hifi - definitely an over priced slurper.
Didn't they have some nva amps for sale which had been "fixed" by a 3rd party and not even glued back together properly ?
