Oliver would disagree, if I remember correctly.

Double cables where?

Power line tweaking?

Musical players are ofcourse better than cheap computer drive ones!

But they cannot extract more information.

No oliver, I won't link to the "biggest lies in audio" pdf here ... I'll just list the theories that I find most laughable about audiophile metaphysics:

  1. Vibration Cancelling Devices for CD players.
  2. Doubling cables (using two or more cables instead of one).
  3. Power Line tweaking and optimizing.
  4. Musical CD players can extract more information from the CD than cheap ones (or computer CD drives).

Any comments?

BTW: Please note that I don't want to ridicule audiophile systems in general. There are many things that can be done to improve the sound of a hifi systems - some cheap, some expensive. But the things that I mentioned are just plain silly ...
