This is clearly inferior to my "quantum aural mod" PayPal me 500.00 and call me. I have a quantum incantation which I speak in quarks through the phone system. There will be a profound improvement to all your audio gear. If you have Skype and 200.00 more I can do the visual "quantum clarity tweak" which will improve things even more. -- tomjtx ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tomjtx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7449 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52478
