Indispensable Tool!

No you have it in reverse...

Knowledge or science use and benefit from active imagination but cannot replace it or even do without it...

Then ultimately it cannot be more than that... The only exception is specialization of knowledge and applied knowledge coming from specialization .... But knowing everything about a detail is like knowing nothing... True science and poetry walk together...

Buckminster Fuller an architect and an engineer of the highest creativity think so ...Freeman Dyson too ...We need good engineer with not too much imagination yes but... We need more visionary if not we are stall where we are ...

No doubt imagination is part of scientific discovery. Can’t say otherwise! It just ultimately has to be more than that.

I could see where something like this might work. Kinda like going to the gym and getting the body moving in different ways than usual. A hifi workout? Hmmmm….

One can easily download free REW (Room EQ Wizard) software and run a test sweep on the ol hifi. Who knows if it would help any thing but the price is right. Apply REW well as intended and no doubt that will.

But you work out because your body has healing ability and it grows back incrementally stronger.  I'm still waiting for hi-fi gear that will do that.  Actually I'm not since that's one step closer to Skynet.  

I suppose this tool, which appears to "exercise" your gear at every reproducible frequency, could interact with some weak or vulnerable portion of your system and cause a failure sooner. If that's beneficial.

I've been using the XLO Reference Recordings Test and Burn - In CD for many years.                                    

Thanks for the topic, misc-audio

I've been using an early ripped version of this for over 25 years, a gift from a friend.  Every so often when the thought strikes me, I give it a tumble. 

Amazon.com: Purist Audio Design Luminist System Enhancer - Improve, Break-in, Demagnetize CDR : Electronics

Would I now spend this amount of money for the difference heard?  No.  And, an added caveat.  Watch volume levels.  Early on, I damaged a Z-Man Tube buffer.  The Purist disc mellows a perceived edge to a digital source...some might say a tad more analog...more for the perfectionist.  I don't claim to understand the science, just the calming perception in my system.  Without the Purist disc, sure, I would experiment with the Tellurium Q System Disc.  

Here's where I could be cutesy and quote some subjectivist vs objectivist to fuel the fire.  "If you haven't tried..."If it doesn't measure."  But, why?  It's a really fun hobby if we just allow it to be.  I am over the top serious about chasing realistic sound in my laboratory.  However, with friends and audio buds, I elect to play, banter and include silliness.  Life is brief and valuable.  As Mom once said in her 80's..."It doesn't take long to smile."
