We all wish you were in heaven right now HiFi!

At the risk of sounding like Captain Obvious, the near-unanimous concensus here ("near" only because I'm counting HFSG's clear stance on the subject) is that purchasing any Peter Belt product is essentially the definition of someone being suckered. Come on, here, it's a battery-powered clock (or a sheet of aluminum foil, or a jar of cream) that by its mere presence in your vicinity affects how you hear (or apparently see). The whole principle on which Belt's array of products is based is a scientifically ludicrous carte blanche for ripping people off, and it relies on people's willingness to believe some techno-babble (and their ability to convince themselves that the gibberish justifies the money they've forked over) to keep his customers from trying to tar and feather him. Some might even say that it's a polar opposite of Outlaw's business approach (offering a no-frills design approach that gives lots of bang for the buck rather than writing bad science fiction and using it to sell junk at an exorbitant profit), and it's certainly an approach that is never going to get a foothold with the regular crowd around here. As I've said before, I'll give HFSG points for persistence and wish him well with his upcoming RR2150, but hopefully he's already recognized that further hyping of these products is serving only to provide a bizarre form of amusement for everyone involved.

Sounds like a scam...or perhaps, scamola.

If HFSG isn't having some fun with the forum making us all tut-tut his adherence to this nonsense, he's almost definitely making a buck off of any sales resulting. Either way, we're playing the game his way.

From the sound of the Belt scenario, it's probably a pyramid scheme, like Amway or Scientology, or most any middle management position. He's definitely going to make a lot of money on this.

:rolleyes: priceless or something like that.

gonk,you seem to be havin' fun here,instead of answering questions,good for you

Seems pretty clear to me that this guy is a business associate of Mr. Belt, or maybe the man himself. Why else would he adhere so single-mindedly to this brand of babble, while ignoring all the other hundreds of audiophool scams out there?

Or it could always be mental illness.

Or, perhaps, synaesthesia... I note this gem from the PWB group HiFiCrackhead linked, evidently written by Mrs. Belt:

Really makes you wonder.

[RepoMan]Did you eat a lot of acid, Miller, back in the hippie days?[/RepoMan]

Anyway, sorry for perpetuating this crap. I'm done. It was a lark.

I showed up to the game late on this post... Holy cow!

For anyone familiar with Burger King's new spokesperson, Dr. Angus ("I have a PhD in Cheesy!"), I think we just found his illegitimate son.

As for the clocks, allow me to retort with my own bit of pseudo-science...

Two digital alarm clocks sitting in phase would actually create a larger vortex of disruptive energy. What physics taught me is that light has a weight, albeit at the Angstrom level. Nonetheless, the "weight" of the light emitted from the digital display, coupled with an identical digital display analogous in nature and addressed in the sagittal plane would empirically materialize a virtual vortex of saturated energy, which manifests into a symbiotic relationship with said auditory source, thus creating a torrent of interference juxtaposed quadraphonically to an etherial plane of alternate existence. Now here's where it gets complicated...

Do us a favor HFSG, troll some where else. Either that or post on something thought provoking involving "archaic" home theater methods. Now if you don't mind, I have to whack my Pterodactyl with a club to get it to play the B-side of my stone-ground LP - a la the Flintstones.

Great quote, R. Mackey - you'd think they'd have been kind enough to say which outer insulation colors "degrade" the sound quality. :rolleyes: Perhaps we have a new forum catch-phrase: posts that delve into the realm of snake oil and dubious science could be described as "Belting" the thread.

This whole thread has a Ph.D in cheesy, Houghers. And I'm beginning to wonder if it isn't acid-laced cheese, at that. The colors, man...

The outer insulation color does degrade the sound quality! I'm now using a (white in color) cable for my power cable for my Denon 2400 receiver, it does sound better!! You have to try a product first to see if it does anything or not RIGHT! RIGHT! Go head and make fun of these products, its EASY to do when you have NEVER tried ANY of THEM OUT for YOURSELVES!!!

Honestly Gonk, no offense, but its kind of common sense to know its red, light blue and hazel.
