I pondered the veracity of claims to sonic improvement via the application of aftermarket cables several times over the break, during the glut of nights spent in front if the fire demolishing my stock of good claret....

That's a good article, although reading the punters' comments at the bottom is a good example of everything that's wrong with the usual flavour of discussion in this hobby.

Never tried a disc.
But there's an App called Cardas Clarifier, I think it costs 79c, that claims to improve things.
Can't say I noticed any change. Only tried it once though. And didn't really make an effort to listen critically ....

If you excise the obvious one-liners as its a script it makes a very informative read...

the comments are more of a commentary on the state of people on the interweb....
