Look at the Google links at the bottom of the page in the following post:

Audiophile accessories - Solution or Snake Oil?

Oops! I'm not really sure I'd want to be tied to that one.

>>What do you guys think of spikes?
There cool if worn with leather.

>>Do you think it helps pin the speakers to the floor?
No only people.

>>Do you use them only on hardwood floors or do some of you use them on carpeted concrete slabs?
Depends on the mosh pit.

>>What other floors would you use spikes for?
See above.

>>How about other accessories?
Not really into body piercings, but different colored hair can be cool.

>>Do you use risers for your cables?
No only people or speakers.

>>Alternative stuffing for your speakers?
Haven't used animals or dead people yet, but heard animals can be used for room treatment if you have enough of them.

>>What kinds of things like this do you think really work, and what ones do you think are nonsense?
All of the above.

Sorry couldn't help it :^)

Say Bill, you gonna be able to make the next meeting April 3rd? I'm going to see Sheri tonight - She's doing the artwork for the AudioRoundTable.com T-Shirts and they should be killer. Maybe she'll have 'em ready by the meeting and they'll be available.

Wayne more snake oil for ya, from live audio board. Heres the web site http://www.jadeaudio.com/facts.html

When burning-in your new cables or auditioning new cables for your system, the following tips will maximize cable system performance and provide for the absolute shortest burn in period.
Step One- The first 48 hours of play should be continuous- preferably with a cable burn-in disk. If you do not have a burn-in disk or one is not available, try music of a dynamic and ambient nature. Step Two- After 48 hours of uninterrupted play on a burn-in disk, switch to music(provided you were using a burn-in disk) for an additional 24 hours of uninterrupted play. If you were not using a burn-in disk, continue step one for an additional 48+ hours. Step Three- After 72 hours of uninterrupted play begin the listening process. You should know after 72 hours of burn-in whether or not a given cable design is going to be right for your system. When, after 72 hours, a cable seems "close," you may wish to just give it more time. If a cable does not perform to expectation, try a different cable from the same family or the same model from a different family.

Cable burn ha?

I gotta get me one of those fancy cable burn-in disks. You know, those electrons traveling down the wires at different frequencies are like lost in the forest and traveling down different paths. The cable burn-in disk is like a good roadmap for those poor little lost electrons to tell 'em where to go.
