The following description of a very expensive "vibration control
device" was taken from a manufacturer's brochure. The description
was under the title "How it works." The product costs between
$100 and $200 per device depending on which one you "need". And
you have to buy three or four of them *per component*.

The XXXX technology is based on direct coupling for effective
transfer of sound interfering resonance. Fast resonance
transfer is provided by extreme hard high-tech ceramic
balls. Combined with precision machined materials like
stainless steel or aluminum the optimum balance between
damping and deflection is achieved. The resulting vacuum
effect draws off unwanted resonance directly where it
evolves. The clear advantage: no resonance build-up, no
overdamping, no loss of deflection. The XXXX technology
improves the sound wherever sound-impairing resonance
restricts the musicality.

But what does it mean?

"direct coupling for effective transfer of sound interfering
resonance" -- Gotta get rid of that resonance! Which resonance is
sound interfering, it's transferred from where, and to where?

"fast resonance transfer" -- Faster is better, right?

"precision machined materials" -- Permission to cost a lot.

"optimum balance between damping and deflection" -- Unexplained
pseudo-science.

"vacuum effect" -- Impressive pseudo-terminology.

"vacuum effect draws off unwanted resonance" -- Magic: it can
tell the difference between wanted and "unwanted" resonance.

"draws off unwanted resonance directly where it evolves" --
Evolves? Maybe they meant "draws off unwanted resonance directly
from the source" but got carried away with the prose. So how do I
position a device at the source, say, at my cartridge's
cantilever, or underneath a resonant wooden floor, or perhaps
underneath a wall causing a particular room mode?

"no overdamping" -- Sounds good, I'll take two.

"no loss of deflection" -- Oops, forget about deflection! Must be
a good thing to not lose any, though, so I'll take two more.

I read this in a brochure at a friend's house. I started to break
out laughing part way through. A physicist friend asked me what
was so funny, so I gave him the brochure. He couldn't keep from
laughing either. The accompanying diagrams were even more
entertaining.

Rolig för att man håller med brevskrivaren eller roligt för att han är så trångsynt.
