| Cryo-treating CDs? I have been using a Radio Shwag bulk tape eraser on my CDs for many years. It's cheap and it's like a Bedini on steroids. | |
| Magnets on cables? Slappy - God doesn't have a tax bracket. You're thinking of Satan, the inventer of the IRS. | |
| Magnets on cables? We've got water cables, cables that glow in the dark and cables with batteries on them, so why not? Gotta keep an open mind. A closed mind gathers...nothing. | |
| should i listen to cs's on dvd or cd player As the fruitcake lady would say: "for Godsake man, try them both and use the one that sounds better". | |

| 3-D Movie Is A Metaphor for Non-Audiophiles My daughter, being a singer, bring a lot of musicians over. With 8 foot tall Acoustats and a Room Lens in the middle they often ask for a demo and I oblige. Usually they enjoy the demo, ask lots of questions and are open minded since they all use ... | |

| WBT Topline or Nextgen RCAs for Pass X250 Any joy you might gain by a 1/2% improvement (doubtful) would be negated by the recovery from surgery to repair the slipped disc you'd get from moving this amp to the workbench. Any time you move a component, especially a heavy power amp, you risk... | |
| Sweet not so sweet The Room Lens can be kept in a closet when not in use. It weighs about 15 pounds. | |
