Thank heavens for Hi Fi News.

Of course I rushed out to buy my wonderful Isolda cables
immediately.
With the old Maplin leads, *anything* might have been
happening. After
all, some amplifiers have some problems with some other
cables, and
since we don't know which amplifiers, or what problems,
or which
cables, it's better to be on the safe side.

Shame you didn't read the above article with more care.

Left to right, top to bottom, line by line. How much care
does reading need?

Also a pity you
didn't read my previous articles.

Should I have known that to be a prerequisite?

I'm still happily using
Maplin cables,
and the results in the articles confirmed my being happy
to do so. :-)

It's all very well smirking, but I just paid a fortune for
cables I don't need. If I tell them it was a hoax, do you
think they'll take them back?

Treated myself to a matched pair of Cosmic Flux Pyramids,
just to be
sure.

Do you put one in each ear for maximum effect? :-)

No, silly. Above my speakers, at a precise distance
determined by experiment. They diffract and diffuse cosmic
radiation in the THz region, that might otherwise impinge
upon the speakers and cables. You may think this
implausible, but supernova are some of the biggest events in
the universe, so they are bound to have some effect. Not
many manufacturers test at those kind of frequencies, so
without the pyramids their amplifiers might be oscillating,
squegging, or ringing, all of which might imperil the audio
spectrum, as you must surely know.

One problem of being at the end of science is that the devil
makes work for idle minds. If you really have nothing to
write about, stop writing. Integrity is perishable. Your
magazine will be lucky to survive as it is, without you
taking the **** out of its readers.
