The Irrational But Efficacious CD Tweak


A dear audiophile friend gave me the Ayre CD tweak that Charlie Hanson humorously has entitled, Irraional But Efficacious!

You set your system volume at a moderately low level, if you put at a very high level you run the risk of "smoking" your speakers and play track seven that lasts five minutes. A series of very powerful tone bursts at different frequences pulse through your entire system. It's recommended that you only use this tweak about twice a month.

Well, amazing results happened in my system:

1) Great increase of transparency/clarity.

2) The soundstage got bigger with more layering.

3) Macrodynamics/slam /jump improved.

I give great credit to both Charlie Hanson and George Cardas, who came up with this thing along time ago, for their total honesty about not really knowing how it works, hence the name Irrational But Efficacious! Unlike others who would come up with some secret mumbo-jumbo explanation and charge a ton of cash. This CD tweak only costs $20.00.

If any GON members have tried this CD tweak please share if your experience was as postive as mine and if you have not tried it I highly recommend you do.

Needle Doctor has them. MD has them listed but I believe they are not in stock as the web site says to call regarding shipping.
Freemand, it appears that you have been also using it on your computers' CD drive....;)
Yes it does work.

For vinyl fans, I suggest that you try:

Cardas Frequency Sweep and Burn-In Record
Mastered by Stan Ricker

Just bought a Graham Slee 3 Fanfare and after a while wondered where the life was... played the album above and "Voila!" - made a night and day difference.

The only thing I heard that was a lot more effective was the Gryphon Exorcist (when I heard it the 1st time it was $75... now at $200 I think).

I believe the IBE and Cardas records do just fine for the cost difference!
You're welcome db, I hope that you find it as helpful as I have. I've had it over a year, but still use it once a week or so. Let me know what you think.

Cheers,
John
