Blue tac does have a downside though. Many years ago i remember attempting to remove a pair of Mordaunt Short's from the stands they had been stuck to for around 4 years and upon removal the whole bottom section of the vinyl wrap came away and remained stuck to the stand . :/

That looks more like a light green tac!!!!! maybe he should tweak his cameras white balance...

Any colour tac, now do the different colours have a different effect on the sound... I wonder because I can tell the colour of the solder resist on a PCB; just by looking at it Or should that be a ...)

No, the revolutions in our understanding from these types will come more from discussions involving a comfy leather couch and bookish psychological researcher...

"The effects of the Spatiumaudio Clavis Filter Modules on sound quality:

- extremly reduced noise"

Wow, if only someone could find a way to measure noise, they could put a number on what 'extremly' means!

I'm intrigued by that green marker pen line , what improvement does that bring?

Ebay is actually full of this stuff, Coconut Audio returns.

Proximity Stone Unreal Pro EMI RFI Radiation Cleaning for Professional System | eBay

Proximity Stone is placed beside the audio component with the black window facing the component. It's our only product that doesn't need to touch the audio system. It cleans blackbody radiation from the component without negative side effects.
Built from volcanic magma that is rapidly cooled into a glass like black pyramid. This pyramid naturally collects negative energy from the base, and beams out positive energy from the apex using our proprietary crystal formulas.
When audio components are turned on, they generate an electromagnetic field around them which will stay at a constant size. When our product is inside this field, the size of this field is reduced, because the noise is collected and beamed away quicker than new noise can be generated by the component.

discussions involving a comfy leather couch

What if the owner of the couch is a client of the lounger ?

Not for volume runs or SMD parts on a reel.

Then again a reel of Bespoke parts REALLY . What bit of kit is this ? Your point is proper for real production runs however.

A positive feedback loop will saturate at some point, no? Might take out a bunch of things in the process, however.

I remember that blog, he's the guy who can hear the differences due to blu tack.

I regularly visit that blog just to get my weekly dose of laughs and eye-rolls.

Did you see this? He actually cut a gold bar and mix it with solder tin..

Serious grammar challenge here.

This stuff is getting so stupid at some point it has to be actionable.

Incorporated into select Furutech products, Nano Crystal² Formula — NCF is comprised of a special crystalline material that has two “active” properties. First, it generates negative ions that eliminate static and secondly, it converts thermal energy into far-infrared. Furutech then combines this remarkable crystalline material with nano-sized ceramic particles and carbon powder for their additional “Piezo Effect” damping properties. The resulting Nano Crystal² Formula is the ultimate electrical and mechanical damping material – only found in Furutech products!

God like fuses... who knew

I heard orgone is being used in fuses. The beeswax didn't have satisfactory ethereal properties. But on a "serious note" I've heard Furutech has exceeded the boundaries of the space/time continumm. What's next...and is it worth selling my first born?

Orgone, or phonetically maybe Au-gone, the result
