Indispensable Tool!

I am willing to give the Ayre disc a try.  I'll look into buying one.

Been using the Densen Demagic, it’s been around for a long time. Sometimes it affects the highs a bit, sometimes not.

@czarivey Yes, you could burn the files to a CD. Or just copy them to your music library and then play them through whatever software you favor — Roon, Audirvana, etc.

On the recommendation of a friend, I bought and downloaded the Tellurium files in late 2022...because for $25, why not. With new speakers and new audio components, I tend to play track two on repeat for a few days / nights, just to limber ’em up, as it were. Seems efficacious but perhaps I’d hear the same difference if I played white or pink noise for the same amount of time — or if I played the Bunker Analog Stereo Test tracks.

Honestly, I’d completely forgotten about Tellurium’s file #3, the system revitalization track. Thanks to OP for the reminder.

For the last two days my system sounded a little closed-in, less lively than I remembered. I just played track 3 twice, at moderate volume. Now, with favorite recordings, there’s more sparkle, spaciousness, and aliveness.

Am I kidding myself? I concede I might be. But even if what I’m hearing is some kind of placebo effect, I am happier with the performance of my stereo system right now than I was yesterday or two days ago. I’ll take it. At $25, this is a cheap tonic for the ears/brain.

Paging Mr. Barnum.
