everyone is trying to get between you and your money but no industry I can
think of is willing to outright fraud you as hard as the audio industry we
found this Australian site that has hundreds of products ranging from
overpriced to downright scam I mean
they're selling $200 stickers that they claim will impact your experience more
than the $2,000 amplifier you already bought so we bought them but wait what
they sent green iPad and wait what hey what's this
what's this in here this is the worst plane tickets
ever mate like you could have given me a sink could you it's DK pods I'm jet
lagged this is going to be fun just like this fun segue to our sponsor War
Thunder War Thunder is an immersive and detail focused online vehicle combat
game choose from over 2,000 different vehicles to Pilot plus you can snag some
bonus items at the link below all right so to test all of this
crazy stuff we got our reference monitors from the lab the ones that we
used to test headphones all that kind of stuff and we have uh brought an
assortment of crazy things and Dan and
also we well an assortment of crazy things what is what is the red box thing
then you want this what I don't know what it is okay these are called These
are cable lifters oh made in the USA ooh but I can
pick them the idea these are American you wouldn't understand want to be them
the whole it basically means they're worse and more expensive oh look at the
case that's how you know it's nice yeah I think that's just the the shiping the
shiping okay it's not glass as everyone
knows the ground the Earth has a a certain level of capacitance right and
it oh they're dirty well I don't know they got these powder on them probably
energizes the Americans who made them the Earth itself has like a certain
charge that's why when like you have something grounded Electric goes down
this prevents that capacitance from from assaulting the signal as you can see we
have a really big problem right now can you guys point it out to me that's right
the cable is on the ground oh my goodness no so what these do is that
they allow the cable oh wow but it was a carpet stay lifted wow I think it's
supposed to work like that they say about one every one to 1.5 M to 2 m that
one come out this is the best kind of suspension bridge suspension of
disbelief Bridge well now okay so now we've lifted part of the cable and
that's going to help remedy some of the issue but not if it's touching the ground man we've done a full loop for
nothing I don't know what to tell you these cost $650
us did they send samples no we bought
them these bunny ears are for their proprietary flat cables which you mean
the one where in the manual it says they may be a different shape due to manufacturing yeah the flat cables yeah
F looked at reviews of their flat cables and apparently their flat cables suck
and are noisy what cable could you lift with just two
of them the good news is we have a lot more of these uh these are the fog
lifters from audio Quest looks like a big floss kit or something cable uppers
isolate RF no what what this is is this
even English I just know my K my when my kids were little upper you need not fear
cuz this is and I quote from the box the next best to levitation for preserving
your low-level signal yeah and um
actually these are far more reasonable priced I don't even know how to start I
would have said I thought that was like 50 bucks even at stupid audio file
pricing I don't know $100 95 USD I've
never been less happy to be right they're they're nice they definitely
keep your cable off the floor well this K actually has a chance of actually
doing it yeah that one like doesn't have enough tension on it so it doesn't
actually support the cable but these are like it's like a kids ukulele we'll move
on okay so now my cable's still touching the damn floor oh no two products and we
still haven't alleviated the situation
yay no my junk okay but we have we didn't do it before test we haven't done
any tests oh yeah do you want to listen to it
before yeah the crossover is a little off yeah the crossover is not yeah we
should probably fix it I got it okay okay all right that's it uh quick get
the cables lifted okay cables lifted we got to do the fastest cable LIF AB test
me pull against me AB test let's go let's go come on boys oh it's got power
on it Dan move you're in the sound field
you remember what it sounds like boys what we should expect is a little bit
more air and less noise floor oh I hear
it
you just too much a now that's okay we have a lot more fixes
to apply you see we've solved the cable problem being on the ground and
everything but we haven't solved our source problem computers weren made to make music
oh okay it looks it it looks it looks
pretty cool it's heavy yeah could be
heavy metal container that's feel the heft in that oo yeah does it just have
like a brick in it it's a macro Quantum
oh now I get it what's a macro Quantum it doesn't I expected like a headphone
jack or something sounds cooler so basically here's the thing about usb it
was made to transfer files not audio I'm not saying anything I'm going to lose my
mind the system is going to introduce a lot of noise into your USB port which is
a thing that can actually happen there's no output on this it just plugs in and
yeah you just plug it into one USB and it fixes the other ones it's nice cuz it
takes up a whole Port it'll take up two ports if you don't put it on the
extension it it uses a special detection circuit to detect noise and sends a
compensatory corrective signal to noise cancel the noise so the solution to
noise is more noise that is how noise cancel I know K muffers do the same
thing shoots a sound back at itself okay and I'm going to plug it in and I want
you guys to tell me when you think I've plugged it in or not I'm waiting for the
Windows uh USB connected sound well
probably doesn't have anything in it did you guys hear it no are you oh you
sure cuz it's blinking it is it is
working wow there is something in it how much did this one cost how much do you
think this is it has a blinking light in it 250 bucks that's how much an LED cost
100 yeah see Ellie days are expensive well say wade you were very very close
oh no
$263 can I destroy it yeah whoa you want
to open it up yeah no no we have to we have to try all our things first we
didn't even get to try it we'll open it after then um we also have another one
called a jitterbug that's a fun name that's so I like it already wow stereo
file recommended editor's Choice Award from some idiot I've heard really good
things about the dragonfly the dragonfly is actually a really good yeah that's
little usbm yeah okay now hold on just a second this seems like it might actually
be a thing then it went full completely
off The Rocker bull for an additional Improvement in audio performance you can
use a second Jitterbug in another
unoccupied USB port that is in parallel
to the first that is not what parallel
means well I mean aren't they technically all serial
not the point look at this diagram
here's how you use one here's how you use one and also give them more of your
money awesome awesome that's that's something you'll notice in a lot of
these products is that in the manual they will say for better performance buy
another so Jitter is a real thing back
before sound cards and sound chips were
like very very prevalent in common so it kind of go like like the sample rate
wasn't clocked perfectly to the clock
and that was more a matter of the fact that your CPU had to keep up on Modern
Hardware that basically doesn't exist audio is baby stuff now yeah so most of
the recording studios I've recorded in they're still using a Mac from
2006 all right well want to plug it in in parallel with the other one oh you
don't want to do the pass through no yeah this one can have the pass through the other one can run in parallel oh
okay yeah still like the song
wait wait Adam what how much was it only
$70 cheapest one yet is there a deal for
two no we've gotten our cable off the
ground we've gotten our signal from the computer cleaned up but here's the issue
we got dirty power from the wall from
the city of sui yuck change your filter
get all the dirt out of it well that's what we're about to do oh wow oh my god
oh goody we I was told we can't actually do do that because of work safe
significantly greater metal mass and grip metal Mass more metal burum copper
base metal for Superior spring tension and hanging silverplated surfaces for
Superior RF noise dissipation also I
know a thing or two about what silver looks like and this ain't it none of
these are not allow to eat it you're not allowed to I want to no no he's going to
die if there was no audio file nonsense marketing attached to it I'm actually
super into this product just a North American outlet that fre doesn't just
immediately fall out oh that's chewy
yeah it's good that's chewy I would
easily pay like $15 or something like
this would you easily pay 50 times the amount of a normal wall
outlet sorry how much is it $200
I'm about to show you two pictures yes this is a this is um an oscilloscope I'm
for the meme this is anope showing the power from the wall get in here Pam Wall
power is it so this is AC that's going up and down so that's the first picture
yep that's the second picture can you show the second one now this is the
second picture no no but the second first one oh no no stop showing the same
one this is the as you can
see it's how you doing over here it's
very hard with a scoopula what are you doing don't you have tools in this
building I have a screwdriver right here don't you sell screwdrivers
lt.com I don't think this is silver Adam they look silver they're very shiny
though suspiciously Shin they're too shiny it's possible there is some silver
in here of some sort I'm not going to just come out and say fraud false
advertising but as far as I can tell I
don't see it so that's where we're at on that to keep on the power train cuz we
can't put that into the wall so I bought the next best thing which is the uh Q
Vibe nordost and oh no these guys again no I know it's called a q Vibe and it
looks like it's the size of a a travel
sized uh okay all right all right all right all right dildo okay stop I get it
shut up it doesn't even have a pass through yeah it just goes in just plug
it into you just plug it in and then it it's magic well it's it's important
because it doesn't affect the source impedance or Peak current available from
your power line but acts to reduce errors and irregularities in the wave one how much you want to bet that inside
there is just an AC todc power supply and a blue LED do you want me to go cut
it open no I don't think that's necessary
um oh I like working for you we didn't even get to try
it hey that's common is actually I think it could
actually that sounds like carbon fiber finish on it too this feels good you
want to have a try it just feels good to chew into it yeah man I like it wow that
is really carbon fiber supposed to break that stuff and breathe it in that's why
I that's why I kind of handed it
off Dan got it off Dan got it off okay what are we looking at Dan a giant
resistor well yeah and a tiny capacitor
and then some kind of I see that they they did it they did come have a look at
this they sanded the markings off the IC
in it so that we can't tell that it's nothing an LED driver it takes 120 volt
converts it to 5V and then shs it out into this led it enhances the musical
performance and picture quality of any AV system at a uh incredibly affordable
price
$45 so nordos literally is scamming
people out of so much money the pro what do you think the total cost of that is
yeah like $3 maybe if you make 50 of them don't worry don't worry just cuz
our power is not clean doesn't mean we can't fix it up what we got to do is we got to trap and contain the power that
we got already these are goldplated XLR caps from TS we've only had three brands
appear in this video so far uh audio Quest nordost and TS okay TS is like
they are the god Kings of this they have a $330,000 cable burning machine I
wanted to make one of those and I got one one pin in them
yeah so just just plugs the ground oh what why so The Sound Don't
leak so Al so sounds like Plum like water is like it drips out and so you
don't want it to drip out you put this in I would have had to buy like 400 of
these uh they're made of copper for the best effective material to isolate Emi
and RF noise absorption the best 24 Karat goldplated techniques the best
yeah uh there's pure Teflon inside which is also the best material for isolation
Okay but you got this is important and I didn't do this and I'm really sorry
there is a burn in time on these you you
it's like having a burn in time on your house T is this supposed to be Teflon
cuz I don't see anything else that could possibly be Teflon yeah I think that's
the Teflon part it's like a little like silicone have you ever had pure Teflon
I'm full of microplastics this is not made of copper oh is that that silver in
there it shouldn't surprise me that someone who's willing to lie about the
function of the product would lie about the compos position of the product but I
don't think I've seen anything this Brazen yet uh how much were these again
uh oh yeah yeah they are um they're $82
for two what do they think this is camera equipment I had this realization
when I was shopping for rugs for our new place with Ivonne and they had these
rugs that were $80,000 and I was sitting here going I
cannot tell the difference between these ones and the ones at Bianca's
liquidation outlet in Siri yvon and I were discussing it afterward and then I
went we've used designers for things like set
construction before and when they quote you they quote you a percentage of the
total cost of the project and so it's in
their interest to take Bullit like this
hide it as little tiny plausible enough
sounding line items on a $400,000 the finest
installation so that they can collect their eight bucks for their 10%
commission and the people who are paying for it didn't know or care the
difference so in a way this is a tax on
the rich for the working sap and we
should support it and it looks cool boom
got him we can fix up our cheap ass ports with a special coating clean it is
a high-quality electrical contact enhancer that has been specifically
formulated to clean condition connections between high-fire and home Cinema equipment in an Ideal World both
the male and female ports of all connection points would be manufactured to match exactly but in reality the this
is never the case clean it removes all contaminants it's isopropyl
alcohol yeah that's um that's 100% this
should be illegal because it does give you the appropriate warnings Keep Out Of
Reach of children do not swallow uh in case of contact with eyes Etc highly
flammable but what it doesn't say is what the it is and you can't ship
chemicals like that not even here on the
container I brought this on the plane mate you you're going to get me in
trouble cleans dirty sockets and connect In fairness this will clean a dirty
thing yeah but you can get liters of this for however much they're charging
oh no yeah oh no don't worry actually
this is probably this is the cheapest thing we bought okay 40 bucks 40 bucks
yeah 40 bucks Canadian this next product
is a remaster ring so it's for remastering I've done remastering takes
a long time get that's actually pretty funny I'll pay just for the joke I also
like how the company's named
you oh vibrational energy is converted to
electric energy and finally to heat energy enabling efficient absorption
there are no rubber or heavy metal overtones I hate when those rubber
overtones dig in it's the worst but CDs are ones and zeros they're just all of
this fixes digital stuff these are just vinyl stickers these are vinyl stickers
I promise you these are just made of vinyl no no no no made in
Japan shall we
listen it's is it's $ 38 Canadian dollars so about 30 about
$28 so actually not that bad so bad two bucks each how are my rubber overtones
is there any more air in my voice wow you sound amazing the final part of the
chain that we need to correct Is Us new
is actually these are from flare these are
called ear HDs and what they're designed to do is make um the uh stuff sound
better yours is in your device for higher sound quality and mine is
revolutionary sound focusing device so
this is so I only hear things in front of me and this is so that he can hear
everything okay so theoretically I
should be able to better focus on that I'm doing it I've done it
I can't hear you cuz you're over there I can only hear in front of me now no no
you're mistaken your one is to hear everything all around you yeah that's
not what yours does this is yours okay guys so you can hear everything better
actually everything's slightly worse cuz I got this plastic rubbish in my hands
is can you hear me like a super spy now I can hear you talking you're talking
kind of quietly okay I'm going to keep the same volume but I'm going to just keep your head still keep your I'm just
going to walk behind you I'm just going to walk behind you how do can you hear me now can you hear me now I'm keep the
same whole time you can hear me nowar yeah but do I sound are you on a cell
phone are you checking if I can hear you now do I sound behind you everything
regardless of whether it's behind me or in front of me sounds like it sounded so
much better when I took him out yeah see here's the thing your ears use the
entire shape of your ears to give you
positionality so all you're really doing
is taking all the sound that would normally come into your ear through this
giant hole here and you're putting it through this little tiny hole and then
you're blocking the work that your ear is doing that the lobe is doing making
it so you can't tell where sound is coming from and it all sounds like ass
but wait what if I could hear behind me
better these ones are easy to AB
test wow that's so much better
now they're like Bas deaners yeah it's
it's like wearing a a small sh day so you look for to taking them off so you
wear these all day take them out go
okay they're just ear plugs okay so take
take them out take them out
ow that's that's the look of a satisfied
customer please tell me they weren't very expensive oh they're not that bad
these are designed to trick the general public they were about $30 and $50
respectively uh 30 for the 360s 50 for the9
which are the this is the final the
final thing I just want to read you a section of from a review the combined
effect of the first of of the first revive RR 777 and the second RR 777 was
too much for me it gave me a moderate case of vertigo wow look at that painted
silver soorry can I just oh wow it's
it's it's like it's so light you got to hold it down so Schuman resonance is an
electromagnetic phenomenon that's produced from lightning strikes the
resonance comes from the reflection of 7.68 Herz waves of radiation bouncing
between the Earth's surface and the ionosphere and it has sometimes been referred to as the heartbeat of the
earth do you have a paper to sorts this is that is no okay so this is a
legitimate thing and it's part of the reason why like Northern Lights happen
okay I'm on board I'm on board I'm on board what this does is it produces that
frequency oh no all you need to do is
place this in your room and then the SCH resonance pulses that come from it will
improve the quality of your audio and
probably even how you feel please don't dismantle it yourself give me the
screwdriver I think before we open it we should take a listen
behold yeah do you feel it turn it off okay so
my eyes are eyes are closed okay so turn it off at some point and we'll let you
know if we can tell now
wow all right Dan you want to take it a part it's incredible I think it we just
need two of them and then I will get a severe case of vertigo yeah oh oh look
at that nice looking that's sick that looks cool wow look an antenna hey
they've used plug-in connectors that's really nice for service I actually like that this is the cheapest PCB that I
think I've seen on a modern device in 20
years is that just one layer it's onesided yeah one-sided these are just
labeled connector one connect the one with the three pins yes sorry this is we
don't even have the upgraded version right there was Vision this is this is a
garbage something to be know so Schuman the Schuman resonance is a uh classic um
alternative medicine healing kind of thing where it's like oh you play it in
your room and it'll make you feel better but this is a unique application of
trying to rip off uh not sick people but
um idiots sorry audio piles how much is
it don't look Zoom I can zoom look don't look don't look don't look I already saw
it's $500 yes and do you want to know the
name of the man who sold this to you from Groove
Works pet
Griffin Adam can I hook this up to the oscilloscope and see what this is doing
sure I also want to go through the amount of stuff we couldn't buy because
of the budget that you applied and this is I'm so sad about you we didn't get
our Quantum stickers in time they're on the way what Sound Stage Clarity and
imaging is is Indescribable Peter I can't believe what I'm hearing this
Peter I can't believe what I'm hearing we spent all that money on those cable
lifts but what we could have done is spend them on something to get them
organized yeah Stick it to
this oh yeah oh wow oh wow that's why I
wanted you to okay so it's gone between like
six no 1.5 Hertz I think it's like it
maybe it was when you grabbed it it changed the waveform no I'm moving the pot yeah okay there we go two three four
yeah there you go four and a half all right so it's doing something it's just
