There are also the facts, Charlie, that a) you don't charge much for
the Myrtle Blocks, which makes it very easy for someone to try them
out, and b)even if the Blocks do nothing for the sound (and I believe
they do), they are very useful in their own right for providing a
cheap, elegant means of giving components some "breathing" room for
ventilation, etc.

Tice, Belt, GSIC gave junk science explanations, charged a lot of
money, in the case of the frst two, didn't make a scrap of
difference to the sound quality in my experience.
