Do you believe in Magic?
"I believe that the universe is much cleverer than we are, so you don't have to go very far to encounter the limit of knowledge and understanding. On the other side of that limit is Magic. I'm not talking about effects that are somehow non-physica... 
Do you believe in Magic?
I cannot recall a case where a manufacturer attempted to obscure the real explanation for why his product works, only cases where skeptical audiophiles refused to accept "far out" explanations, wanting instead to believe there must be a convention...

What contact cleaner do you recommend?

I have used both steel rods and brass rods in one of my isolation stand products, both with good results. At least One high end amp, the Berning EA2-150, has a brass chassis.

As mystifying as the Stillpoints ERS fabric might or might not be, I submit that there are much more mysterious, you might even say preposterous, audio tweaks and devices out there. To name just a few: C 37 lacquer, the tiny little bowls from Tcha...
