It's like Rayban sunglasses  [size=78%]for your audio dude ..........man[/size]

But most power cord plugs today have either two blades—one wider than the other—or three, the latter including a ground pin. Both types allow the plug to be inserted into the socket in only one way. We’ll look at how to get around this limitation in a minute.

To reduce the voltage difference between the chassis of your audio components, you will need a digital VOM (volt ohm meter) and some “cheater” AC adaptor plugs, both available affordably at home-improvement and hardware stores. If you can find “cheater” plugs that have equal-sized blades on both sides, you can save some effort. If not, you will need to trim down the wider tab using a file.

Encouring people to modify safe mains equipment into something that isn't safe?!

... With a nice little disclaimer of "by-the-way, it might electrocute you, do it at your own risk".
I suppose that means you'll struggle to sue them, but this is pseudo-scientific bullshit that just might get someone killed. I don't see how they can publish it in good conscience.

Reduce "glare and haze" Shouldn't this be moved to the lighting section?

Honestly, the descriptions used by these reviewers escape me.

Never had "The shroud lifted off the horns" when you first tried V5 presets ?

How irresponsible of the editor of that rag to publish that article.

Gotta HAVE that 'Shoosh'!

I can't believe TAS is still around.  I was a subscriber throughout to 70s, only to read up on what they were hearing that I wasn't.  Nothings's changed.

Harry Pearson is long gone.  Robert Harley (who is an actual EE) from Stereophile took over as editor.

High end lost it's way long ago when it stopped being about music and became about who could spend more.

I would still love to replace my Carver with a pair of MC250 McIntosh, not necessarily for just sonic reasons, aesthetics too.  I find the gear of the mid to late 70's to still retain the desirable characteristics before the price escalation began.

In photography, polarizers are often used to reduce glare and haze.

Maybe they figure it works for sound, too.

Who needs optics when you can hide the Lampie's hazer fluid? 

Moving lights are most effective only when you can see the beams.  I think we NEED that in audio because otherwise sound is invisible.

Tom D?  Can you do some Audio Haze?
