Not a particularly good argument as the Talisman is quite powerful. nt - geoffkait 16:37:12 07/08/10 (4)

Huh! I thought failure to get complete benefit from a tweak was only dependent on the user. :-) nt - Norm 06:36:38 07/09/10 (3)

Exactly. That's why your results are frequently substandard... - geoffkait 07:52:50 07/09/10 (2)

Have you put any in the Freezer overnight? - ArdRi 17:23:18 07/04/10 (3)

I think this may be more effective on a cheap CD player - Metralla 10:56:45 07/04/10 (15)

not really - it is often more audible on an untweaked system - jeromelang 22:23:06 07/17/10 (10)

Possibly because a cheap player has poorer error correction? - caspian@peak.org 11:01:39 07/10/10 (3)
