Had been wondering about those little devices, looking suspiciously like power resistors in heatshrink.

On that very website, they sell aluminium 'stickers' which you apply to either the front, or rear, of your Hi-Fi separate, releasing a whole new world of sonics, apparently. Who'd of thought, just one sticker on the outside can make such a huge improvement.

I wonder, with a quantum sticker on each ear-lobe, and an aluminium sticker on the forehead, would everything and everyone sound like a decent stereo system? Add a foil shower cap to keep those dastardly cosmic rays out along with mains bourne RFI ... Oh the possibilities ... The central locking on your car, or neighbours lawnmower, would have never sounded so good.

Truly astonishing what's out there, pebbles to attach to your audio leads, as mentioned earlier in this post, stickers, keeping speaker leads off the floor, wooden boxes full of, well, who knows ...

One thing that did make a huge improvement to the sound of my Hi-Fi, since our cordless 'phone with mains charger used the same power outlet, cleaning the mains plug earth pin of 'earthed' equipment with an old duster & a spot of Brasso. Before, you could hear the 'phone being charged, with a high-pitch 'weet weet weet' noise, after the Brasso, the noise had gone.

Very old MK plugs they are, had badly tarnished brass contacts.
