Your (perfect) record
Traffic's "Low Spark" is a gem.  
Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat
If we had to know how or why everything works before we would try something, we would not have or participate in half of what we do.  We trust in medical procedures and drugs we know nothing about.  We accept that cars, computers, cameras--even cl... 
Beware of new material claims - the case of graphene
Who has the technology to apply a single-molecule layer of carbon--a semi-conductor manufacturer?  Would an audio cable or fuse even benefit from such a thin layer?  Doubtful, but some process or material is providing superior conduction in produc...

Seems to be around three weeks, give or take---in my experience, expect nice results the first few days, too.   
Insider or Outsider? To be or not to be,...?
Like extended warranties and a "prime" membership for fast shipping, these offers create a revenue stream in exchange for services a company is already providing.  If such a membership included sneak previews of new ads or discounts on sales commi...

That's quite an improvement, Fleschler!  All that, and no change in components = great value.

What I like about the E mats is that they allow your system to sound as it should. They show you your system is much better than you thought.  
Tune of the Day
Stills "Treetop Flyer"   
Underrated album: Sonics AND Music
Jim Lauderdale's "Wait Til Spring", backed by the group Donna The Buffalo is very enjoyable, and Donna The Buffalo's "Rockin' In the Weary Land" is also a treat. Both are sonically very good. 
Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first?

I have an E card under each Maggie crossover box, removed from speakers via Cardas jumper kit.   
Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat
Yes, one mat to start will bring great improvements.  I noticed the difference in one hour under my CD player with my first mat, and in eight hours with the second mat, placed alongside the first to cover the entire chassis.  Of course, the improv... 
Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)?
I love the 19th Century lyrical themes from "The Band".  The historical ballads, the old-time sound, the small-town feel and their forlorn, back-woods style of singing are steeped in tradition, e.g., "Acadian Driftwood", "Cripple Creek", and "The ... 
Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)?
The "most American" band would have to be "Indigenous", three siblings and a cousin from the Nakota Nation, So. Dakota.  Listen to "Things We Do", their first album, 1998.  Blues guitar phenom in the style of SRV.      
Little-known Gems
The CD quality isn't bad at all, n80, depending on system.  Can hear it on You Tube, vinyl is listed,
