fair enough michael.

it seems that part of this hobby is the search for the audio equivalent of the philosiphers stone to turn a base system into a golden one. many claim to have found it either in the form of humble green pens or mysical sprays for conectors, others eulogise about bits of wire still more preach the way of the stand. me i'm of the opinion that if you want gold you have to buy gold in the first place. of course there is no point in buying gold if it's platinum you want and no amount of rubbing, wiring or standing will change this. all imho of course.

cheers
