Do you believe in Magic?
I would add one final note. I bought four sheets. Successively, on my Reimyo 300B amp, I started with a half sheet. It was awful. I tried a quarter sheet. It was awful. I tried an eighth sheet, same results. Ultimately, I had a 1/2" by 1/2" sheet ...

Focalfan, thanks for your opinion. 
World's BEST ac outlets.......Maestro outlets
I got this lead from the outlets used by Sound Application. They use them throughout and provide an additional one to install in the wall. Initially, I did not use it, but later installed it in place of the Maestro plug. Frankly everything benefit...

Are your surrounds still good?

Hifisoundguy, you might want to try the Hubbell HBL5362 which should cost you less than $20@.

Linkster, not really. It would be expensive and I don't expect it would make much difference. 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
Thomas Edison used to invite people to presentations where he had a singer and orchestra. At some point they would walk off stage while the music continued. People would be shocked that it was not a real concert. People cannot hear.

Musicxyz, check out the reviews. They have a very thorough discussion of the conductive elements used in the liquid. There is no copper wire or copper.

Focalfan and Ojdeteos, yes, I was tempted by the BMC speaker at CES. It is also cheaper. I really am, however, just testing the market. If the Tidals don't sell, I will be most happy to live with them. 
Ortofon tonearms ,Static and Dynamic - Difference?
I had a Shindo Labs turntable with a dynamic arm based on an early Ortofon tonearm. I think its outstanding performance was partially attributable to the dynamic arm. Once I tried it as a balanced arm. It was nowhere nearly equal to dynamic tracking. 
Record Cleaning Machine- Keith Monks or Loricraft?
I had one of the original Keith Mooks record cleaners, previously owned by a radio station. Much later I was in England and was to fly home on 9/12/01. Being stranded in England I went to an audio show and heard a demonstration of the Loricraft. I... 
Turntable hum problem after demagnetizing
Have you played a record and seen if you have both channels? Check all connections from the cartridge to the phono cables. Did you use the demagnetizer exactly as prescribed?
