Or the beginning of audiophile magnetic fields?

Can't wait for this discussion!
Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.

    .....Nikola Tesla started toying with the ability to send electricity through the air in the 1890s. Since then, though, making wireless electricity technology safe and cheap enough to put on the market has been an arduous task for researchers......

    been waiting a long time to "cut the cord"....

    I have not seen this but I have read up on it pretty well. It will be in the future without a doubt.

    This technology will be convenient, but I'll bet it does cause health problems as it probably won't output at a frequency that is consistent with healthy 3-30Hz earth/brain resonances.

    go ahead and laugh, it is looking more and more like it is true, the brain frequency thing, its something Dr. David West who owns Soundlab has done research in......it is also something I was recently told by a medical specialist in pain therapy, somehow the these frequencies interupt the brain signals telling us our back hurts, hips, etc. what have you, the birth of thye first true Vader seems inevitable.

    I like my new wireless power amp, but I'm thinking of upgrading it to Monster's new wireless power cord.

    Hell, even Polk has a wireless sub. Well, you still have to plug it in but it still doesn't miss a beat.

    It is a great little unit, and pretty impressive for a 6.5" driver.
