Is this for real?
"Demagnetize" is the word used on the disc I own and the word used in the review that Sam Tellig used in a December/97 Stereophile article relating to what the Densen disc did. I'm not really the technical type, so if "demagnetize" is incorrect te... 
Is this for real?
The disc I have suggests that there is a build-up of residual magnetism within cables, circuit boards and copper wiring. That magnetism may also be present in spades, other connectors or solder for that matter; who knows? Sam Tellig, in a review o...

This is definitely "generational". My list of distinctive, instantly recognizable voices would be (not necessarily in order of talent or ability):ElvisSinatraBillie HolidayMuddy Watersand, to a lesser extent, because his voice has changed so much ... 
Is this for real?
Yes, it is typical of the "both sides". We have two people who have used the product and think it works, and two that haven't and think it doesn't. Now if someone wants to chime in who has used a product like this and think it doesn't work, I'm ha... 
What are the best live acts?
I haven't seen the Stones since '76 but I bet they are still a great live show from the video I've seen of them. 
Is this for real?
I've been using one I purchased about 6 years ago for about $15 with excellent results. Has a demagnetizing tone which I use about once a week, a burn in track (which I have used numerous times and works quite well), and a cleaning track (brushes ... 
Power Cords - Pixie Dust?
Bob: Just to clarify things, I haven't actually replaced the cord on my table, as it's a bit complicated. I have an older Michell Gyrodek; the power cord connects with a very weird 3 pin connector I've never seen anywhere else essentially right at... 
Audiolab 8000T faceplate bulbs
When they were "Audiolab" bulbs, they probably only cost a buck or two! You have to hand it to those Tag McLaren boys! If you haven't sent the money, I'd try Artech to see if they had any in stock. 
Power Cords - Pixie Dust?
According to Bob Crump, the turntable motor is the MOST sensitive component with respect to a power cord change (I believe he uses a Rockport). I have not changed the cord on my table, but even changing the molded plug to a quality Hubbell male pl...

Who is your overall favorite guitarist?
Dekay: So many good guitarists; this is why I went the dead guitarist-live guitarist route as you have now down. What a wild combination! George Gobel and Bob Dylan! When I read those I immediately conjured up an image of a duet music video, kind ...

Review: World Power Receptacle Cryoed Hubbell 5362 Tweak
Not related at all except for owning the product. I have been posting here for 3 years with a number of those posts on receptacles (all that info is available to you in member lookup, by the way). Thanks for the compliment on the review. 
Audiolab 8000Q preamp?
Audiolab no longer exists, having been acquired by Tag MacLaren a few years ago. Audiolab products, however, have a great reputation for durability. I have an 8000A integrated which was manufactured in 1986 that I bought second hand in 1990 and ha...
