Can this be serious?

Actually, I have encased my Pass DIY F-5 amp in nitrous oxide. As a result, my bass spectrum has more power, measured in foot-pounds/dB. In addition, my high notes get to the speakers faster (measured in meters/microsecond/hz).

Trust me. Honestly. No kidding. 😱

I'm sure nitrous oxide will have considerable impact on the listening experience

Nitrous will cause reverb.

It's called the 'wah wahs'.

I am fascinated by the complete lack of any logical thought processes associated with this startling revelation, and by the anthropomorphic notion of an inanimate object "breathing".
I wonder how many bits of the amp were fiddled with to arrive at this "tweak"? My guess is that it was was formed out of some vague idea that that if the sound is "constrained" then loosening something would work. Again, sighted testing and expectation fulfilled.

If loosening the screw caused cracked ceramic caps on the pcb to regain their nominal capacitance due to a stressed PCB from a non-flat enclosure this could explain the startling revelation 😉

It can be a common occurrence when installing circuit assemblies that get screwed down but is very difficult to detect. They probably didn't have "audiophile installation" on their FMEA.

Brian! Good to see you back old buddy. 😀

You can actually buy well-engineered equipment that contains no voodoo, amazing as that seems.

This is a serious mistake! With the coming Zombie Apocalypse you need all the voodoo you can get. If it's hiding in audio equipment, all the better.
