    A guy on Head-Fi is suggesting filling gear with sand to "take() away the mico vibrations that cause most of the clock ( oscillator ) noise ( jitter )"

    https://www.head-fi.org/threads/singxer-su-6.902272/post-15450685

    He really seems to believe this works and has detailed instructions.

    I was going to suggest making your entire audio-listening space into a sand box but I realize this wouldn't work for SBAF members since many of us seem to have cats.

    Might be an idea to send a few trucks around to turn his listening space into a sandbox. With him in it.

    Good grief, next thing is that someone will be selling hifi components that turn out to contain nothing but sand. Oh, wait... Synajosstick Revalations :rolleyes:

    @Thad E Ginathom , the next step will be we becoming the audio components that sand listens to.

    I love their stuff. If for no other reason, Machina Dynamica should get an award for most amusing BS...

    Not when sold by Sinatossa Revolutions it isn't!

    :eek:

    Maybe Something like this is happening already. Maybe, for instance, the upgrade bug comes from system components...

    "Buy Me A New Amplifier..." Oh, hey, something about my chain is not satisfying, maybe I need a new amplifier.

    One bird - multiple personalities :)
    [unfortunately, I don't have a bird - otherwise I would definitely have fun with this concept]

    As you watch your parrot* grab the paper and tear it up!

    *Parakeet? I don't know which this bird is.

    (Here, we have lots of smallish, green "parrots," that are actually parakeets. But everyone calls them parrots. Keee Keee Keeee!)

    If it wasn't so funny it would be deeply deeply terrifying.

    Not quite sure what it means, but almost all the deepfake stuff I've seen somehow involves Tom Cruise...

    He's an easy target for obvious reasons.
