Can a tiny silver bowl affect music reproduction
Empty Budweiser bottles work quite well, too. But not necessarily in a good way. In fact, I'll go out on a limb and say that empty beer bottles in the rooms at CES are one reason the sound at the show sucks so consistently.

if magnetic fields were good for the sound then the copper or silvers wires would do just fine, you know, what with the induced magnetic field arond the conductor that results from current flowing through the conductor. Besides, wouldn't the mu me...

If the alloy in HF cables is like mu metal it's conductivity is around a fourth of that of copper. I'll take the copper, thank you very much.

Audio Horizons Platinum Reference Fuse
Can't say I blame you. Is the AH fuse directional?

Sabai wrote,"Because the physical carrier of the signal has mass."The carrier is either copper or silver and usually of high purity, therefore not magnetize-able. Nice try.

Speaker grills
Of course it should be mentioned that most grills are *extremely* transparent to the sound, so what doesn't make sense is that having no grills would subjectively make so much difference in the sound. But nobody ever experiments to see why a trans... 
Another CD-Player vs. PC question:
Mapman, just curious, have you had an audiogram test recently? 
Audio Horizons Platinum Reference Fuse
GbMcleod, this is the blurb from Audiogon ad for the new improved Audio Magic Fuse. I have the Super Fuse in my Woo Audio WA6 SET headphone amp. My system is open, detailed and dynamic sounding with outstanding bass performance."The Audio Magic Su...
