A good 10-15 years back, when I was still socializing with
some Hi-End audio folks from former USSR they had a wave of enthusiasts who
made different audio devises employing what I call dark forces of audio reproduction:
the torsion fields organizers, sub-consciousness stimulators, beta-intensityficators,
star-stimulators, negative frequency ranges and alike. In 2004 I even had one
of their guys who was more sensible then others build for me a pair of none-sonic
transducers, something that I in past referred as X-channel of Macodno. The
projects never made to my home but it was interesting time to talk with those peoples.
Even I found that most (not all) of the Russians I heard at that time were quite
barbaric in musical and cultural sense but it indeed was very stimulating to
think and to read about “other side” of audio, something that was not
observable in West.
It is nice to see that Western Hi-Fi Audio begin to explore
the underground. It was nice to read in PF that van den Hul made commercially
some kind of Extender that takes a side view at music reproduction:

I have absolutely no opinion about neither the Extender nor
the Robinson writing. However, I would like foresee what will be coming next. I
am not a Nostradamus, I am better. The Nostradamus’ predictions were cryptic,
mine are not. So, here is what will be coming next.
Sometimes in a few months/years someone of the “big” names audio
reviewers will figure out that to keep pitching to the audio stooges the same
old crap is wearing thin and they decided to jump a board of status quo sales and will introduce the audio subscribers
to alternative ways, sort of “new age” of audio. I am pretty much know who the reviewer/editor/publication
will it be and I very much know what will be coming next. The “thin field” of
audio researches and experiments will be wrapped up into new fabricated BS marketing
spiels and anything worthy will be packaged and pre-sold long before the worth be
understood. The torsion cable elevators, time-condensing fuses and beta -gyroscope
amplifiers will be coming… courtesy of your beloved caring about you audio professionals
who put own time and talents to benefit you.
