It is some audiophiles varnish that improves the sound of anything (according to the maker). Have a look here:

B.t.w. SY, Don’t wonder if there is some extra shellac added too.
Cheers
Ah but is it ethical to "publish" the formula without permission? Is that not the same as publishing the schematic of some current production equipment?SY said:Why guess? If someone will send me a sample, I'll be happy to analyze it and tell all.
Where is the difference from the "One way to make expensive speaker cables!"-Thread? An expensive product is demasked. If there is science and effort behind it, nobody will have to fear cheap copies.dhaen said:

OK. So supposing I developed a way of doing a job, or making a thing at a tenth of the cost to everybody else. Should I only charge a tenth the money? No, I'll charge 50% in the knowledge that my cleverness needs rewarding and gain some market.
Then somebody (SY ) comes along and publishes my formula, and everybody undercuts me.
Is that fair or ethical?
Of course I'm a snake oil skeptic, and playing devils advocate, but do you agree?

Re: Market..
He, he,
If that source is available nobody will understand it, at least not why it does what it does

Fair? Yes. We all know the rules. People analyze product all the time. They figure out ways of undercutting their competitors all the time. That's the free market, and that's why you've got a box that has more computing power than the biggest computers of 20 years ago sitting under your desk and costing you about $500.
Ethical? That's mighty subjective. To me, yes. If a product is freely available, no reason that people shouldn't figure out what's in it by legitimate means (e.g., analysis, not things like stealing the formula from someone's desk).
Hmm SY,
Don’t know. You were in the ink business wasn’t it. Well I am in the business that develops industrial printers for coding the variable codes on the stuff you buy in a supermarket. A difficult ink is one that prints on non-porous surfaces like glass an metal and is also environmental friendly. There is one manufacturer that makes a good ink for that. Of course we have analysed that ink and we know exactly how to copy it. But if we do, for sure we can expect an army of lawyers at our front door.
Cheers

Maybe in a aggressive competitive area like the US but not in Europe. Patent or not. Maybe we will win but this business is a small world (even worldwide) where everybody knows each other.
