The Black Discus...
« on: April 11, 2015, 02:50:47 AM »

This:

http://www.madscientist-audio.com/blackdiscus/

They even did a "blind test" http://www.madscientist-audio.com/blind-testing-canopeners/

While it's yet another "thing put on another thing = amazing results OMGBBQ" I'm totally getting a free sampleā€¦ what can possibly go wrong? Anyone else interested?

BlackDiscus improves the clarity of the sound, enhances the stereo image, makes sibiliants purer, and lowers the noise floor.

Do you think there may be an acoustic leak from the jack hole? ~Tyll Hertsens

Not sure if I like stuffing one hole or both holes. Tending toward one hole since both holes seems kinda ghey ~Purrin

I think the "How do they work?" section at the bottom reveals all. The question is if a paid order receives delivery.

I'm all for preparing a nice listening room and making token offerings to one's 'god of direct experience': Let's be honest, tweaking one's expectations and awareness can be a cost-effective mod for the practically minded. That is, don't buy in...use the force: Think river-stones and action-figures, not bybee-purifiers and reese's hockey pucks.

Do they offer a replacement chocolate muffin or slice of cake? That would be nice...
