It's cheaper than fuses and all my audio sounds better. Even with the stereo off. -
Cool! Have you considered with all that coin you're saving to perhaps invest in Colgate stocks?
No, with you around we have to invest in:

It's interesting comparing different hobbies and the money spent.
I raced bicycles for over 10 years and never spent more than $700 on a bike. Many racers spent over $4000 on their custom frames and other equipment.
To each his own,
There was not much of a relation between the money spent and number of wins you had bike racing once you reached a certain level of equipment effectiveness. Before the money for equipment started to make bike racing a little nuts everyone had just about all the same equipment. Camy record, Mavac rims, tubular tires, 5 speed Regina ora free wheel...... At a race you could switch wheels with anyone because they were all the same.
I remember a racer winning a sprint with a leaking front tire with 40 lbs pressure. Amazing, he was a great sprinter.
Maybe there are certain key equipment requirements to be effective in any hobby.
At some point however the tweeks just make no sense: like paying $20 for a Ti screw to clamp your bike seat to save 4 grams. That weight change is in the noise level and is not detectable by the racer.
Taking a good dump before the race is much more important and will reduce some weight. -

It is.I raced bicycles for over 10 years and never spent more than $700 on a bike. Many racers spent over $4000 on their custom frames and other equipment.

How do you know this? Has this been scientifically and quantitatively verified? Do you know of any peer-revewed scientific journal articles where this was investigated?
How does rider skill affect this?Before the money for equipment started to make bike racing a little nuts everyone had just about all the same equipment. Camy record, Mavac rims, tubular tires, 5 speed Regina ora free wheel...... At a race you could switch wheels with anyone because they were all the same..
Ahhhhh...the good ole' days.I remember a racer winning a sprint with a leaking front tire with 40 lbs pressure. Amazing, he was a great sprinter..
Yes, and based on his skill and determination, he might have still won the race with a flat tire. Charlie Parker was notorius for using crappy saxophones, some of which would literally fall apart during performances.Maybe there are certain key equipment requirements to be effective in any hobby.

Titanium has other desirable properties rather than light weight. Perhaps a titanium screw, being much less dense than steel, transmits less vibration and provides more seat comfort. Certainly, vibration, and seat comfort, is detectable by the racer.Taking a good dump before the race is much more important and will reduce some weight.
Again, how do you know this is much more important? Has this been scientifically and quantitatively verified? Do you know of any peer-revewed scientific journal articles where this was investigated?

Interesting points in that bicycle racing a hobby I pursued in my younger days.
I DID use the Ti screw clamp (and whatever else I could to save a gram or two) in the same way I currently add a $20 Herbie's Ti-9 Ultrasonic tube damper to each pre or amp tube or an IsoClean fuse to preserve a thousandth of a decibel of sound quality in my system.

It maybe a game for you but I was just giving my opinion on our hobbies.
Many riders that couldn't stay with the pack and were pulled from the race road $4000 bikes. You could get a good car for that money back then.
Maybe there were other issues that these riders could have addressed to improve their results.
It's a balance of the body/mind/bike equipment.
A good dump before a bike race was equal to over a pouind or $1000 of special equipment that weighs a few grams.
There were racers that would drill hundreds of 1/8" holes in the crank rings to reduce weight. Some even drilled holes in the chain.
All bikes that are raced in the TDF have a minimum weight limit.
Just an opinion/observation no data.

I agree. It is sad that some people think that expensive equipment will make up for lack of diligent training and committment. Likewise, buying an expensive audio system will not assure a satisfying listening experience, expecially if one does not know the fundamentals of stereophonic reproduction.
There is no substitute for natural ability honed and refined by education, practice, training and experience.
Expensive equipment won't make you a better cyclist anymore than expensive equipment will make you a better audiophile or a better anything.It's a balance of the body/mind/bike equipment.
This is generally true of all hobbies.A good dump before a bike race was equal to over a pouind or $1000 of special equipment that weighs a few grams.
Well, I'll defer to your more extensive knowledge in this area.There were racers that would drill hundreds of 1/8" holes in the crank rings to reduce weight. Some even drilled holes in the chain.
All bikes that are raced in the TDF have a minimum weight limit.
Every hobby has their hardcore tweakers.Just an opinion/observation no data.
OK. I was just curious. I thought it would be interesting reading.Proud and loyal citizen of the Digital Domain and Solid State Country!
