    By the way I have many more for your next up grade at a very reasonable price.
    Please Buy.

    Welcome to the new fun zone.

    Don't laugh! I keep petrified Pomeranian **** next to my speakers. This crap really works.

    Golly gee, with the new "fun zone", someone will report you for such foul language. Better be careful or you will get the dreaded points. :eek:

    Hmm... I wonder if they would actually ship me a pack of audio rocks. They would make for an excellent gag gift for audiophiles...

    I see no reason to buy high-priced rocks when rocks I find in my back-yard work just fine in my system. There is no scientific data these rocks are any better...some people will buy anything!!!;)

    I truly hope the smiley denotes a joke. Honestly, I could believe people would put mystically attuned rocks on speakers to better channel the speaker chi, or appease the dragon, or something. Maybe I've just know too many hippies, but this seems like something you could sell to the right market if you could keep a straight face, :D

    Well gosh, in 10-15 years, there may just be debate over different color stones, just as there is in different designs of cable today:D Never discount anything in this hobby.

    There is something out there for everybody. Who care's if it is placebo effect or not? If it makes the owner happy, then it works. Disclaimer: I do not have rocks placed about my room or on my equipment. Not yet, anyway :D:D

    Careful some take their audio myths very seriously. I mean they've tried them and can really hear a difference.;)

    How did we go from a very funny joke on audiogon to bashing MIT cables and then to baiting audiophiles? Sad.

    BTW reported for brand bashing, baiting and trolling.

    I usually do except when a poster breaks the rules then I report them . . . like for a minimum of continuous brand bashing, trolling and baiting!

    X I tried a parole period with you and found that nothing has changed! Bozo listed permanently.
