    “Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”

    I would be very interested in hearing the impressions of everyone involved in this afterwards. (That looks like a very unwieldy sentence!)
    I am one of those who finds measurements important, but only as support for the listening experience. That is to say, science is a good servant but a lousy master. In the final analysis, I want to enjoy what I hear, even if the measurements tell me I shouldn't. Unless safety is involved, of course.

    Very profound.

    This will definately be an interesting one to follow. Don't Bogart that popcorn, Ali!

    I think the original is- "Money makes a good servant but a bad master." I just adapt it to suit.

    This should be interesting. Is anyone going to take it apart and see what's inside it?

    “Absolutely spectacular… A mind-bogglingly accurate representation of the music as it sounded when it was recorded.” Keith Jarrett, world-renown musician
    Did Jarrett hear the results, before and after, the application of this device?

    Jarrett is of course a Christian Scientist and believes in the power of prayer over matter, even to the point of repairing broken legs If that isn't a massive case of expectation bias, I don't know what is

    If as claimed this thing de gausses cartridges and speakers, surely that would not improve them but stop them from working...... Just sayin'. Still waiting for the call.

    Wouldn't be surprised to find a very small cheese scone inside. Eating a cheese scone always improves the sound of my system.
