All the rage
by Paul McGowan
Do you remember applying green paint to CD edges?
Placing steel VPI bricks on top of equipment?
Placing small pillows in each corner of the ceiling?
Using a tape demagnetizer on CD's?
Pointing a static zap gun at LP's before playing them? I do.
All these tweaks worked but I don't use them any more.
Cleaning a record, using CleanWave on a Power Plant, adding diffusers to the room, using isolation bases - these I still do.
What changes when something is all the rage and then is either forgotten or becomes part of the culture? I am actually unsure.
Just to check and see if I was kidding myself back then, I demagnetized a CD before play - the difference was there.
So, maybe I am just lazy?
I think this is a subject worth pondering and discussing.
