Strangest Tweak?

"If you wait for "science" to "prove" something that your ears already hear then you can wait a very long time."

How true. If Bumblebees had waited for science to explain how, they wouldn't have achieved flight until recently. The pity of it is, that this truism, coupled with the enormous profits and subjectivity inherent to high end audio, is tantamount to ringing the dinner bell for every flimflam man, snake oil salesman and hustler on the planet.

Please keep in mind that without science, there would be no invention of audio equipment and thus no such hobby called HiFi, and we would not have this science vs. mystical force discussion.

here's a tweak nobody evr thought of:

when playing a cd for a second time, press open, twice, and replay the cd.

There was a guy on the computeraudiophile forum that bought a $3,700 facial cream (not kidding) to lubricate the speaker wire ends. It cost him $157 each time he listened to his system, as he reapplied each time. He went on and on about the amazing sound it made.

So far, that is the dumbest tweak I've heard...but the day is still young.

Manoterror, Can you get me the name of that facial cream?
