Considering they think putting rocks on top of your playing equipment changes the sound, their work has negative value.
Technically, a weight on top of AV equipment's cases will change the resonant properties of the chassis but that does not produce audible effects unless it's on the speaker cone. The author considers this and dismisses the possibility because “rocks not heavy enough”.
Also, a sufficiently large rock will affect the performance of any Hi-Fi equipment.
Instructions unclear. Used boulder. No more sound comes out.
Worked as stated.
I think you followed the instructions perfectly.
You missed the part where if you put the rock in your ear, it will affect how it sounds.
Sometimes I think the whole industry of audiophile is just a bunch of baloney. Reminds of chifi IEM the KZ ZEX pro or something where people were praising for the improve sound and more drivers. Turns out only 1 driver is used and the rest are just there to justify increase in the price. It being no different than their cheaper version.
Audiophiles are 100% targeted with tons of nonsense products, mainly because sound is such a subjective thing beyond a certain level. That's not to say all hifi products are placebo-driven, just that the industry is rife with them.
That's not untrue though... Putting rocks on your sound system could make the rocks vibrate against it and sound like utter shit.
Well, my cheap Bluetooth speaker vibrates terribly and weighing it down helps. This will not help devices which already have vibration-preventing features, such as rubber feet or acoustics-aware housing design. And only some rocks will wobble depending on the base shape and point of mass.
I planned on getting my dad a sound bar for his TV on his birthday because the TV he uses, the plastic grill over the speaker vibrates something fierce and it sounds like absolute garbage any time something with any amount of bass plays. But maybe I can just glue some rocks to it 🤔
When I hear "glue rocks to it", I feel the urge to post the steering wheel picture. Because that one lives in my head rent free.
It's only tangentially relevant, but still.
Especially if you use coprolite.
