In my observation the “Break in Period”, is normally designed to push your decision to keep or return said product, just past the return window! I suppose that is just a coincidence of course. :rolleyes:

Ah, except that they offer NO guarantee (or guarentee (sic)} or so it says on their FAQ. It's hilarious

Okay....looking through their product line....that place should be the poster child for whakadoodle expensive, golden-ear hifi snake oil gear. What in the WORLD is going on with those speaker and power cables??!! They're beyond over the top ridiculous to the point that I have to wonder if the entire site might actually be one big joke.
I'm tempted to email them and ask if they can send some samples to Amir for review.:eek:

Not “Floobydust” :

In the 1976 National Semiconductor - Audio Handbook the word “Floobydust” is defined as:

“Floobydust” is a contemporary term derived from the archaic Latin miscellaneus, whose disputed history probably springs from Greek origins (influenced, of course, by Egyptian linguists) - meaning here “a mixed bag.”

Later in 1991 Bob Pease (Staff Scientist at National Semiconductor) defined the word in his book “Troubleshooting Analog Circuits” as:

“Floobydust” is an old expression around our lab that means potpourri, catch-all, or miscellaneous. In this chapter, I’ll throw into the “Floobydust” category a collection of philosophical items, such as advice about planning your troubleshooting, and practical hints about computers and instruments.

Bob Pease (RIP) sometimes used the word in his columns in Electronic Design Magazine.

I have that NS book, and that's where I picked up the word. I repurposed it due to the way it sounds, rather than its original intention of miscellany.

Love this....
"Magna-drive Transistor treatment is unique to Luminance MA-70 amplifiers. It comes from the technology of Magnetic condition from High Fidelity Cables and Magnetic Innovations. Magna-drive uses a powerful magnetic field across the transistor to apply powerful lines of flux through the transistor. This helps to guide electrons at the quantum state, and give them a more calculated pathway through the transistor. The result is lower noise, better resolution, and greater dynamics."

Also, if you add anything to your cart, it goes into a PayPal cart.
Seriously? They sell these mind boggling expensive things and then use PayPal???

You can get it cheaper HERE. This is a much better value proposition. :)

Are we sure there's even liquid in there? I imagine it's actually empty and you're brushing on audiophile atoms.

On this theme:

https://www.audiogon.com/listings/l...s-signature-power-conditioner-ac-conditioners

A power conditioner, retail $65,000.

But you can grab it now for the cheap discount price of $23,000 !

I mean, look at it's shape! Gotta be worth something, right?

But remember, don't judge it too fast if you pay your money and don't hear anything amazing. It takes 1,000 hours to break in, per instructions!
Dude. I think the US Navy took some photos of these somewhere off the cost of San Diego, CA...
