"Zipperhead" seems such an appropriate name for a shill for this
sort of flimflammery.

One of the most amusing quotes from the sight, a review, says:

"Unlike his more discreet Shakti Stones, which have become
the favorite whipping boy of stiffs in audio academic society,
here is something out in the open."

Some minor corrections: the Shakti Stone are not the whipping
boys, but rather the laughing stock. Second, the only stiffs
involved are clearly the targets of this clearly cynical
marketing nonsense. Third, I can't honestly see how he might
suggest that "discreet" is an appropriate word to use in this
context: how "discreet" can a true snake oil salesman be?

That out of the way, I suppose having them out in the open is a
good thing, because these sorts of high-end freak-show
spectacles can be exposed for what they are.

Perhaps Ben would care to share his explanation of the operating
principles behind the "hallograph" with the "audio academic
community?"
