At least it had some sort of physical connection into the electrical system which at an extreme stretch of the imagination might be considered some kind of conduit back to the stereo.
There were other tweaks that were even crazier. Remember the one that claimed books needed to have an odd (or was it even?) number of leaves, and that you could improve the sound of your system by inserting a piece of paper into those which didn't comply? The same nutter (a HiFi journaist, of course) also had bottles of "specially treated" water in his kitchen and claimed it made a difference. (Peter Belt probably noticed that some people believe this stuff, and developed his business model based on that). -- cliveb Transporter -> ATC SCM100A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=38258 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
