    Looks as if he is a disciple of Peter Belt, who also started making some very good audio gear; in his case they were isodynamic headphones.

    The testamonials are always the best bits. 'before there was no bass...'

    Hmm, no bass, so the obvious solution is to spunk a weeks wages on some little blobs to stick on my headshell.

    No doubt the "T" stands for 'twat'.

    Try these then. I did. http://madscientist-audio.com/magic-tubes/ I decided to take them up on their free trial offer (£5 p+p) before dismissing them.

    Another thread of taking the piss of stuff no one has actually tried I shouldn't be surprised, but just once it would be refreshing that someone who had actually tried a thing offered an opinion, based on experience not guess work and 'well it can't be therefore it isn't' thoughts/opinions.

    And to be clear I am not defending Walker Audio, the company, the products, but just the thought that posting based on first hand experience might be a better thing, than posting with no actual experience.

    Sorry Josie but I grow tired of these zero-experience posts/threads.
    Regards Neil

    Have a look at the "scientific" explanations, down the page. http://www.madscientist-audio.com/blackdiscus.html This guy has a sense of humour.
