[TenTec] RFI into Orion II

[Gary J FollettDukes HiFi]

I was just reading (for laughs) the responses on Sterephile (AKA “Stereopile”) regarding the CD demagnetization process.

Boy the shovel is deeply buried in the smelly stuff there!

PS: I worked for 3M Company in the field of CD replication back when there was still money in it, and worked on the development of DVD replication processes, including dual layer DVD processes, back around 1998, before DVD even became the de-facto video standard.

These sellers contend the these effects can be heard at 10 foot lengths and claim to have somehow compensated for these effects in speaker and coax cable costing well over $500 per foot in some cases.
