I'm going to be rich

[Gaz]

And here's how.

A few things occurred to me regarding the world of hifi.

It has, compared to most hobbies a vast amount of foo and snake oil products.

Many people believe the more something costs the better it is.

If somebody gets ripped off they're unlikely to admit it and will defend their purchase to the death.

Lastly, and most importantly, lots of audiophiles use blutac for a variety of purposes.

So here's my plan, I buy loads of packs of blutac and rebrand it as "audiophile grade vibration damper and anti-slip putty" and sell it for £25 per pack for low grade, £50 for high end and £100 for reference quality. (obviously it's all the same but people are happy to pay more if they think they're getting the best)
All that's needed is some good reviews in the hifi press (again the high price and foo pseudo science on the packaging will guarantee this) and I'm rich.

PS. 10% discount for AOS members

Hmm.
The range only goes up to Reference?
My system obviously deserves better than that.
How much for 10 packs of Reference Plus?

You could re-package this: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Mortite-...ortite%7D%3Aqu

Chop it up into say 2" strips and charge £2 apiece. Of course the 'standard', 'high end' and 'reference' versions would need to be a different colour.

I am planning to offer bespoke versions at a guide price of approximately 10-20% of the cost of your system

Personally I think sound absorbing crystals strategically positioned in the corners of the room hung on elegant strands is the way to go. These will stop unwanted sound reflections. Easy and cheap to make and can sell as an ornament for the wife. You can market various version in size and crystal quality, and made from different materials for different effects. In fact I think its so good I put it up on crowd funding.

The mistake you're making is that you're explaining what they do, the tactic is to advertise it making no claims as to what the procuct actually does or how it achieves it. This protects you from trading standards
