Tried Snickers yet?

Have you ever actually perused Belt's site? Below is a link showing their prices for such things as a "chunky black pen". Gee, what a bargain. Bought one for yourself yet? Somehow I doubt those wood blocks you put under your wire set you back as much as that wondrous pen the Belts peddle. Have you in fact ever bought a single Belt "product"?

Instead of endlessly regurgitating your tired, meaningless and oh-so-obvious argument that science does not yet understand everything in the universe, why don't you tell us all about the positive aural effects of the Beltian tweaks you employ in your own system. Then please tell us which of Belt's tweaks/products Ayre recommends to its customers.

I have no doubt that plenty of valuable discoveries in audio and other fields at first seem silly, and counter to or outside prevailing scientific knowledge at the time. But you seem willing to accept and defend virtually anything, including concepts/products you haven't tried. Any schmuck could claim "Wow, I put a half eaten Snickers bar on top of my Ayre cdp and suddenly I heard much greater focus in the soundstage." How could this be disproved? Even if you personally tried it and heard zilch, someone like Clark would question the resolving ability of your system, your lack of listening expertise, list several audio luminaries who swear by the Snickers tweak, and suggest you make an appointment with an ear-nose-throat doctor. Contrary to May Belt's ridiculous attempt to present changes in PERCEPTION as "actual" change (for the better with all of Belt's products/tweaks, of course) in sound, if you either dismiss known and accepted scientific measurement parameters or offer no meaured verification, you're left with nothing BUT personal perception.

Judging from recent history, if a supposed golden-eared speaker manufacturer, or a self-proclaimed audio guru/trailblazer claimed the Snickers tweak radically improved detail, depth, and "naturalness", you and a few other "degreed physicists" would spring to the defense of the miraculous Snickers tweak and flog close-minded detractors. Hey, call it "quantum" Snickers and either Belt or Kait are in biz. Well, gotta go. I wanna buy Snickers stock before it zooms up.
