ERS Cloth uses
Thanks to the serious posters. I'm surprised this thread is also recieving frivolous responses. I posted it feeling knowledgeable and serious comments would make good reading and hopefully better sound. It is an inexpensive product; may well have ... 
A butt-load spent in cables - how much improvemt?
Just enough that I would 'not' even 'consider' removing any of those I use, which I have assembled with careful listening and which provide a sound I enjoy, without knowing the replacement would be better. How would I know a better replacement? By... 
The best sounding FM Tuner is.....
Try an old(late 70's) Hitachi FT920 tuner(cheap like borscht) with 'v.good' AC conditioning. I bought one new in 76/77, it has been on 24 hours a day ever since w/o any trouble!, and I enjoy the FM sound immensely(so does anyone who listens except...

Next on the list for Mahler....
There is a superb DECCA 12 CD Box set of Mahlers syphonys 1-10, Richard Chailly superbly conducting, available at a super budget price. For about $30 you can listen to them all and then decide which you want to concentrate finding specific LP's of... 
How many more years before cd's become passe?

Ever hear a power cable make a huge difference?
Yes. I was very,very impressed when I used one of MIT's top power cords with my ref level preamp; for which I already had excellent conditioning and isolation. Those last few feet can be an exceptionally worthwhile investment for those with a high...
