Finally--isolation problems solved


End of the year housecleaning, wondering what to do with all the miscellaneous post-holiday left-overs. And of course the annual dilemma-does fruitcake flush? So I'm chopping up these inedible masses of tasteless compost and it suddenly occurs to me--if George Cardas can sell little blocks of myrtle wood, grown only in isolated parts of the Oregon Coast, and other engineering geniuses can experiment, why can't I? Fellow audiophiles--fruitcake cubes are the answer! My Vac Phi Amps are now sounding sweeter than ever. My Esoteric DV-50 is more focussed and slightly more analogue sounding. My RPM turntable is sounding more stable, richer and spicier than ever before. Guys, this is the real deal. While YMMV, you may want to try this. My friend Tony, is even using his extra fruitcakes for room treatment, having placed one in each corner of the ceiling, and a couple of extra at primary bass nodes along the walls.
Just wondering, has anyone else had this experience with fruitcakes? Is it better to us the alcohol-free ones, and also, do the imported European cakes work better with tubes than with Solid-state? And what about cryo'd fruitcake cubes? The possiblities are endless. Next year I'm thinking about experimenting with acoustic applications of baklava. I'm thinking that sound filtered through many layers of buttered, sweetened phyllo dough could really solve a lot of problems with sibilance, as well as widening the soundstage. Happy New Year to my fellow A'goners:)

Please write up your amazing results and send them to George Cardas.

Let us know when you've done that, so then we can all send him our extra f-cakes (aren't they ALL extra?) for testing.
I thought there was really only one fruitcake in the world that is passed from family to family. If you go cutting it up into blocks then there'll be no more fruitcake...ever! I've got my amplifiers stacked on top of several new packages of underwear and socks. The effect is remarkably similar to your Fruitcake solution, but more widely available, especially if my theory (actually came from a famous comedian) is true. I'm guessing Calvin Klein and Fruit of the Loom are poised to drop their hats into the high-end tweak market given the amazing results I'm hearing. Wonder if there is some tie in with the "Fruit" of the Loom and "Fruit" cake?!
