Sounds like fun! :D How about the '_Synergistic_Research_Tranquility_Base_' (http://www.audiostream.com/content/synergistic-research-tranquility-base)? The author makes use of one of my favorite memes of the audiophool press. I call it the "feigned skepticism meme". In this meme, the writer claims to have been skeptical of the alleged benefits of a device prior to using it, in an attempt to make the con more effective. > Given the number of audiophile tweaks that exist, I entered this > testing with quite a bit of skepticism.

Another favorite of mine is the '_solid_marble_outlet_strip_' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOwqyWdsWrE&list=UUo8e3GYwQGncHKIucUOxGfg) (err, sorry, "power distributor"). The guy doing the video, Peter Breuninger, also uses the feigned skepticism meme at about 1 minute in. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ andy_c's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3128 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101564 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
