*** 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.
