All time classic

02:48 "electricity is 50% of the sound for me, you know that. everybody knows that"
05:04 "the rack is 30% of the sound, believe me"

80% of the way with a power conditioner and a rack, good job.

The US dealer could use a proofreader...

So... I suppose we'll just have to see if these gizmos are Boon Bonn or Bane.

I hadn't seen that before. Amazing! It's up there with "Japanese Audiophiles Are Going to Extremes"

Edit: now I see both of those are on page 1 of this thread of course.

"Japanese Audiophiles Are Going to Extremes"

Kudos to the man's dedication, but he knows that his own power pole is still connected to municipal power... Right?

Clearly the way to go is to install a wind turbine and solar panels on the roof! Or maybe an alternator hooked up to one of those stationary bikes!

So snake oil is a thing on Alibaba. No surprise.

 

[mansr]

Amazon has snake oil too:


"Protects your cables better than common lubricants," allegedly.

WAV is so much cleaner and 'harmonic' than FLAC you guys.

 

[mhardy6647]

ASRists. I don't know about all y'all, but I feel ennobled.

So, now I'll sit down with a big ol' mug of coffee and contemplate the notion of harmonious digital data files.

PS. ASRist (two syllables) sounds like the name of some lesser-known but terrifying Assyrian or ancient northern European deity.

Tune in later. we'll be sacrificing a tube dac to the dark god of sinad.
