*** There are some gullible audiophiles out there. About 15 years ago, I
was visiting my audiophile friend Bob. He had some magazines. The
magazines had ads for things like speaker cables with water cooled sheaths
- speaker cables with the copper bathed in light - Magic boxes for getting
"blessed" AC. Bob and I had a good laugh. We thought of a company to
sell price tags with really big numbers on them - such a tag would
immediately improve the sound of any system.
