Every so often a phase comes along that almost immediately becomes a catch phase and so it is with the phase "Quantum Fruitloopery" (with thanks to andy c for introducing us to this clever little bit of word play). On the other hand, in the world of high end audio things (devices, ideas, beliefs, etc.) that are quite clearly fruitloopy come along on an almost daily basis and so I'm launching this official list so that we can keep track of the all the audio fruitloopery out there.
Item #1: Today's mail brought one of my two favorite sources for all things Quantum Audio Fruitloopy, I'm speaking of course about that fabulous monthly humor publication "Stereophile" (my other favorite source is "The Absolute Sound" - bar none the gold standard of Quantum Audio Fruitloopery). While I have not the chance to sit down and treat myself to a good laugh I have scanned the through the magazine and discovered these little gems being advertised: http://ifi-audio.com/portfolio-view/micro-iusbpower/ ($99) http://ifi-audio.com/portfolio-view/accessory-ipurifier/ ($199) Both of these little wastes of money are fine examples of Quantum Audio Fruitloopery but their relatively low price (although any price of something that does absolutely nothing useful is too much) does keep them from being truly world class Quantum Audio Fruitloopery. Feel free to add to this list. It doesn't have to be a specific product so for example one could easily add any/all tubed DACs to the list or any/all 32 bit audio downloads. So let's have a little fun picking some low hanging fruit(loopery).
