The third paragraph is the key ::) ::) ::)

I like the degausser treatment.

Demagnetizing apparently restores the the circuit parameters to their original amorphous state.

Restores the circuit parameters to their original amorphous state?

What the hell does that mean? What "circuit parameters" exactly and exactly how are they in an "amorphous state"?

You're like Professor Irwin Corey. A gibberish generator.

Hello,

   What I think is SO AMAZING about this guy's post is that he can actually HEAR the difference.  His hearing is truly "golden" that he can hear what is not even measurable! ::)

Oh you skeptical, cynical, know-it-alls  ;-)

I've still got 2-3 old degaussers from my analog recording days and I'm going to list 1-2 of them on Ebay utilizing this previously unknown application as part of my pitch.

Let's see how I do.

(But first I have to find them)

Doesn't everyone reverse their speaker looms after every job?? Hard to keep track of sometimes  ::)

 Another twist is the screw driver magnetizer sold at Sears for about $7. Run your cables through one before every gig and you'll hear sounds up to 40Khz. Be careful though because once done it can't be undone and running a cable through in the wrong direction lowers output by 128db.

I have a bulk tape eraser from the mid 70's.
First time I used it since 85 or so (also the last time I used it) was a couple of years ago, when I dropped a couple of screws in the grass while servicing the lawn mower. Found the screws real quick.
For my PA, I think I can live without the "improvement".

Hooo boy...

I first discovered this phenomenon while watching TV.

Whenever certain weather conditions would set in the incoming air traffic would be routed over my house from the east instead of coming in from the west per usual.  This would cause light "snow" on the TV screen and the picture would start to flip.  Being lazy, I'd just lay on the couch, stick out one arm and raise my left leg in the air.  This would stabilize the picture and restore the clarity.

I've since found this technique to supply the last 5% of a pristine mix using my sound system.  I'm thinking of hiring under-employed modern dancers to hang out at the speaker stacks, amp racks and mix position as "human tweakers" to get the most out of my gear.

But if you use one of those-be sure to disable the nasty LED that emits RF energy that totally destroys the soundfield.

No wonder PA systems sound so bad-between all the LED's used on equipment and the LED lighting fixtures, it is amazing that anybody could even listen to a modern day concert system. ;)

REad the last couple of paragraphs about how to "program" your crystals.

Maybe crystal meth-I'm not sure

I'n not sure I would want to "degauss" with the wires connected.  Do ya think any current will be induced?!

"This way is even less prone to error as you can do this without even breaking the existing connections or position of the wire. "

I'll be right back, I need to degauss my tonearm.   ::)

I think you can negate the effects of the LEDs with the BLACKBODY AMBIENT FIELD CONDITIONER. It seems to have a profound effect on the sound quality.

So, if it doesn't interfere with your audio signal and it is so noninvasive you can't even tell it is working, then what is the difference?  And I have an unused linear accelerator with low hours just sitting around that I am trying to get off my hands.  Maybe I will list it on the LAB marketplace...   ;D

Forgive me if this is "for real", but it looks to me like someone's learning exercise in writing convincing marketing copy.

I like when he said. "I can hear the effect deteriorating as I play a song," I think the effect he is referring to is the placebo effect.

But the best was when he said this process is essentially "to realign the molecular structure in the wire and insulation." There are soo many things wrong with that statement, i don't even know where to begin. It seams he has found some new laws of physics.

On a related note (B-flat), I have a platinum-silver alloy toilet seat with strategically placed rare-earth magnets. I find that it reduces constipation and makes my bathroom smell better.

[3) Another method is to create a circular breath by holding the thought of what you desire in your mind and then breath slowly and naturally through your nose into the crystal and then breath energy back in from the crystal. Repeat this circular breath for 10 - 20 minutes. This is an effective meditative technique and is quite powerful to direct your mind for positive results. ]

I think what the Author meant to say is; "Hold your breath for 10-20 minutes" as this will have a positive effect on your ability to hear most sounds. :o
