At some level, I find the situation comical. OTOH, when you have this kind of stuff recommended, and the person who "reviewed" it also writes columns saying, "It's time to call bulls**t on...", the hypocrisy demonstrated by that is not funny at all. They have the choice to simply remain mum on such issues and products, but they seem to proactively advocate for obvious frauds like LP demagnetizers and such. BTW, how does one "review" an audio product that's just some cream in a jar? Maybe check to see if it causes chafing when rapidly rubbed onto certain sensitive areas? :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ andy_c's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3128 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99360 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
