Will "audiophiles" buy just about anything?

Why didn't he just get a power regenerator/conditioner if power line noise/ripple whatever was his problem? I guess reason in everything is out of the question with these people. I feel bad for his wife.
>>
what's the point. it's not like they have any free time to listen music at home.
>>
>>56099130
DESU, I wouldn't be surprised if this helps. When you have old audio gear tightly coupled to input power that is shared with a residential district full of CSG enthusiasts, obviously there will be noise.

The real question is why they don't get a fucking power conditioner.
>>
I'm more interested in how you bypassed the paywall

We can all agree "audiophiles" are senile retards who should have their money confiscated by his family or the state since he's going to spend it all on absolutely retarded garbage that makes no sense in any way, right?

Lol, they actually think electron purity has anything to do with audio quality. None of them realize that what you really need is a magnetic monopole amplifier.

>muh overhead power lines
It always makes me cringe just how much american occupation and influence has ruined japan's infrastructure

Japan tends to be the only country next to the U.S. to do stupid outdated shit like use 110V or overhead power lines (enjoy your 5x higher rate of outages), along with shitty NTSC standards etc.

110V is retarded, overhead power lines aren't.
I don't think there's a country without them.

>A private line, they say, eliminates electrical interference that comes from sharing a public pole with neighbors whose gadgets can create “noise” that make subtle notes inaudible and the overall sound flatter.

These old fucks can't even hear high pitch tones, but they totally can tell their neighbor's fridge is creating noises in their stereo.

What they need is a confinement in an Alzheimer ward, not their own power transformer.

>“Electricity is like blood. If it is tainted, the whole body will get sick,” says Mr. Morita. “No matter how expensive the audio equipment is, it will be no good if the blood is bad.”
Sorry Jii-san, it's not quite like that. We have things that clean power that don't require you to install your own transformer.

Audiotaku are the worst.

Westerner thinks, "They make a device to fix this". Chinese friends think, "Why invest in a shit box when I can have the giant penis in my front yard to fix the problem until the end of eternity."

Two different approaches. Two different lifestyles. Can't knock a lifestyle.

I've lived in Japan for 7 years and never seen a single outage. The lines have to be easily accessible because of earthquakes. If they buried everything it would be a nightmare to fix after a big one.

Wait, what. What the fuck. No, really, what the fuck?

You can perfectly clean any electrical signal, regardless of it being a literal power line or a precision electronic weighting scale with some very simple circuits and equipments.

This is either some next level bullshit public stunt, or they have descended so much into a monotonic trans-xenharmonic ideology that they've completely abandoned reason and became a dogmatic cult.
