TAT,That's a very good perspective to have! I feel the same way.Unfortunately, when it comes to Geoff specifically and his ideas and products, it just has not been worth it to me. The nonsense tends to greatly outweigh an dilute any value that mig...

"Magents don't channel RFI or EMI and they don't affect electron flow in the conductor...even if they did the music signal is not carried by electrons. If the magnets affected the electromagnetic wave that is the music signal wouldn't the magnet d...

I suppose everybody thinks their way is best, when in fact there always turns out to be many ways to skin the cat, including the means to superior sound quality, though personal preferences always determines what happens in the end.Economics, conv...
