Behind the Scenes
How This Got Out of Hand
How a happy hour joke became 2587 things of deadpan audiophile pseudoscience.
By the Numbers
The Reaction
Eventually, people noticed. The site was caught and dissected on diyAudio, PistonHeads, Vintage Radio, What Hi-Fi? — five threads in total — with reactions ranging from "magnificent pisstake" to a confessed near-belief that "life without magnetically neutral cables was never going to be normal."
Three independent forums converged on the argon-filled turntable as the most absurd item in the catalog. One real diyAudio thread inspired a research paper that, in deadpan response, cites a different diyAudio thread that does not exist. The bit got out of hand. Again.
