Snake oil??

Well, on March 8th, at the age of 64, I suffered a mild stroke. I have felt that things were returning to normal for the last few weeks. Now I’m not so sure. I just reviewed an email that came to me from Agon about a mysterious substance involving something called 3-Dimensional Enhancer, the NPS 1260. It claims to cure literally all my audio problems for the low price of $599. Is this some leftover April Fools thing or am I having some sort of stroke relapse?   I’m hoping that MC has some form to sage advice for this conundrum.

cleeds,

You are right. The only thing I am not sure about is how adept is mijostyn at figuring out your data from an e-mail address. I know it can be done, but I wonder how good he really is at that.

"...and certainly am not going to provide you with any of my personal information."


It does not seem that anyone was asking for it anyway.

"The 73" Mitsubishi rear projection TV has never looked so good. Everything from regular TV broadcasts to Technicolor movies is much improved. Too bad this product is no longer being made."

These days, for the price of that product, if not less, you could have bought a brand new TV and be blown away.

Just like what Blu-Ray did for the movie...

"I recently bought a Blu Ray DVD of the original Wizard of Oz. Two days ago, prior to watching the movie for the first time,"

"...or even knowing the patient’s name."

Why would you need someone’s name to diagnose them?

"That you have never seen a good connector fail does not mean that a good connector never fails."

If it failed, it was not good. Only bad connectors fail. Good ones are, well, good.

"...designed to reduce the micro-arcing that occurs when the signal jumps across microscopically small gaps in between conductors."

Micro-arcing of that sort may be beneficial to the sound, enhancing saltatory conduction. Hence, aforementioned contact enhancers may be detrimental to the sound.

In some translational theory, we could come back to my (r)evolutionary Biocables.

"I got a nice ten-receptacle power strip at Lowes to hook everything up. Before plugging everything in, I treated all of the connections with TC. Right off the bat, the sound improved immensely."

Now, that is some very good power strip.
