The best $99 system upgrade ever!

Hello everyone I’d like to share with you the single best $99 upgrade. I’ve always suffered from excessive earwax, long ago when I was a boy my mom would clean my ears and unknowingly would put a Q-tip in my ear and do nothing but make my hearing worse because she claimed she would impact my head with earwax. As I got older I figured out a way to do it on my own but it was always a project. I found this new device called and axle Glade that has a camera attached to a little spoon like device that helps you get the gunk out of your head. Now that I’m handicap I get help from my aid but I’m always astonished at every 30 days the stuff that comes out of my ears and then my system sounds completely different. Which is where I was going with this long winded post. If you want your system to sound like you bought a new $10,000 DAC just take half an hour and get the gunk out of your ears. It’s amazing what a difference it makes. Here’s a link.

I'm with MC in a way. I never took them out through the day for 40 plus years. I drove home with ear plugs BEFORE service trucks HAD AC and never stopped the practice..

It would ruin a listen session driving home in 100 degree heat. With only a wing window (remember those) and safety glasses keeping the wind and BUGS  out of your EARS, EYES and TEETH!!

Demolition work, big breakers, and DEEP excavation is a real killer on ears.. Top Hammer drilling too.. LOUD.. Plugs, MUFFS.. and distance..
Everyone is in the hole, EVERYONE is making noise. Boy do I miss that.. LOL I like pulling my own teeth and smashing my fingers to remind me.. A needle in the eye every now and then. Just for good measure..

Self circumcision comes to mind too.. A day of work in the Imperial Valley CA Baha HA HA!!! 35 mph Santa Anna winds in 120 degree heat.. Vegas seems Easy after a few times there. Lose your hearing in the wind and sand..

These are nuggets newbies.. Take care of the AIRWAYS and the EAR WAYS FIRST.

Pays big time in the end..

Ear plug guy here since 35 or so. Saving what I have. Well worth it. Ear wax can be an issue though. Part deaf in one ear but I can get my rig to sound right, too me. Damn I'm old, over 60.

Forget the ear plugs.  What you want to to do is put on a blackout eye mask for several hours before each listening session.  The loss of sight really improves the other senses.

Verry nice indeed! Has the spoon been Cryo treated?
