Default some mildly amusing snake oil

Yeah. And at £10, no-ones going to kick up too much of a fuss when
they work out they've been done. Heck, they might even think their
gear sounds better!



The bit I find amusing (apart from the guy who actually admitted to BUYING
one!) is it tells you to play the cd 'at normal volume' - I doubt the cdp
changes it's behavoir significently with the amplifier's volume!


Do your neighbours a favour! Turn it right up, set the CD to repeat and
then go shopping. Your neighbours systems would then sound much better
to them after you get back and stop it.

Very much a theory, I've no idea what it sounds like!


In fact, the only reson I can think for them not wanting you to play it
with the volume right down is you hear the unpleasent, so the next bit of
music sounds better in comparison.
