That is a Dutch idiom isn't it? Something along the lines of uncovering the truth?
... or it means that your pet primate likes to play hide 'n seek. Monkeys in sleeves... mayonnaise on fries... hookers in windows... gotta love the Dutch.

I really like his recent videos about acoustic room treatment and multi-subwoofer placement, this is just confusing.

Something in my memory may recall Modwright doing this.

Crystals are a good starting point on the holistic upgrade path but I had my system blessed by the Dali Lama and the improvements in soundstage, instrument separation and overall 'musicality were subtle but obvious.

Of course my system was already highly resolving so don't expect to hear any differences if you have not spent enough money yet.

(note the Lama does not offer this as a service, he only did it for me as we are old drinking buddies).

Can you please define "real"? Like Cartesian real? (Cogito ergo sum)... or as in... "Dude... Is this guy for real?" :cool:
Lol! As in, he takes himself seriously.

Is the cable insulation not enough?
Here on the internet, discerning audiophiles hear to -300dBc. No telling what odd effects they hear.

Well, I received it as a voluntary gift from (according to her own words) a free and happy fairy. I hope you would not have expected otherwise from a fellow ASR member.

Here in Sweden, we have the same problem with the fog twice a year, it got something to do with temperature shifts either going from winter to summer or from summer to winter. It is a very annoying thing for us audiophiles because it got such a harmful effect on the sound, luckily it's just for a few days but I heard from other people that those Fog Lifters do make a big difference.

What other material would give you speaker capabilities in the MHz? That'll justify continued growth in sampling rates too.
