Probably the secret is in the woodencase, should expose it to full moon shining to load with abysmal radiation, then it will perform.
"full moon shining to load with abysmal radiation"? abysmal? really?

It is worse than that. The whole thing started with people thinking one model of clock made by Radio Shack of all companies, made their stereos sound better. Tice's contribution was "mods" to said clock to make the effect even better!

What's crazy is (as far as I know) nobody like this has been dragged into court for defrauding their customers. It really is homeopathy for music, isn't it?
I'm not even sure a judge would accept such a case in the pre-case preliminary examination.

GOOP IS GOOD...don't quote me but I owned a McIntosh Monoblock 20 w tube amp, one of their first models...the power transformer was packed in tar. i guess to isolate things. maybe the tar should be on the outside of this product to help isolate it from us.

It prevents the transformer from vibrating and causing rattles, buzz, hum and other annoyance stuff.

So basically we have an unterminated piece of two/three core mains flex coiled up in a wooden box and filled with silastic or potting compound?

Incredible someone could have the balls to actually sell something like this, I thought Bybee Quantum Purifiers took the cake, but this is better.
