Questionable Tweak


Someone on Audiogon mentioned using an air purifier to improve the sound of their system. I dragged my wife's purifier into my listening area, cranked it up, and.......,no change at all. They said it removes dust particles,to improve the sound. Has anyone ever heard of this?Is there any science to back this up?

There's very little science to back up anything in the audiophile world. Everybody's favorite album guy, Fremer, once called objectivists, "science based no-nothings." That should tell you all you need to know. 

Look up a thread titled; "The greatest tweak ever?"

and you'll see where that nonsense started.

Yes, and I saw 2 pairs of them (different occasions) @ the Goodwill across from Live Cheetah's in East Hollywood (pre-Covid, so maybe in 2018/2019).

I would have picked up a pair (think they were around $60) but knew that our cats would kill them as soon as I fell asleep.

My favorite part of Rodney's show was him trying to remember the songs that he had just played (we would applaud if he got them all).

....no wonder the shop system sounds great when we've had a spell of sanding wood all day with the doors closed, the ac on, and everything turns a lighter shade of pale brown....

Yes, The Band pun intended, but hard on the lungs.  Even dust masks start to look fuzzy....
