It's like a giant garlic press. But for, er, potatoes.

like a harder to clean masher then?

 

[User482]

Hifi cables and stands.

Yes, but unlike the garlic press, it is worth the trouble. Assuming you're serious about mash. Or indeed gnocchi.

Speaker stands - possibly.
Cables - not a chance.

As for those CDs, I take it you colour them in after freezing them?

*wonders whether to confess to wanting a Spatzle maker*

A perfectly respectable desire, I think .

Both are easily demonstratable. I tend not to have much cash for thse things, but go to the DIY store and purchase some bell wire and some soild core wire, try them and see which you prefer, they are different sounding. I've borrowed evarious interconnect cables (and componants form time to time) from others to see if they were money well spent, some were some were not, but difference are detectable.

have to say, I never found anybenefit from the coulered pen thing and I have never frozen a CD. I have oven baked LP's to make flower pots .


Ooops, just see a whole thread dedicated to this, I'll periuse later...

back to the topic...

FF, as I keep repeating on the other thread, no-one has ever succeeded in demonstrating an audible difference in a double-blind study. You may *think* there's a difference, but that doesn't mean there really is.

As an aside - did you know that placebo injections are more effective than placebo pills?

This was the same as a CD seperate I had. The review said. "If you turn off the display, there's a noticeable improvement in treble". So I stood there, week in week out, trying different CD's. No difference, not a jot, not a hint of a treble tremor but it did make it damn awkward to know which track was on.

Theres a definite difference in using gold SCART leads for DVD - so I cant see why the same shouldnt be true for audio?

The most likely explanation is that your old lead was faulty. Having said that, unlike audio, differences have been demonstrated with video cables: http://www.provide.net/~djcarlst/abx_vid.htm

I counter with:

The Chorleywood Process

 

[theclaud]

FFS Claudine you're a walking talking encylopedia...

Anyway, [after extensive Googling], I see your Chroleywood Process and raise you an Azodicarbonamide.

[If you can tell me what that is without referencing, then I'll start construction on the Claudine effigies immediately]

You've got me there, but I've a vague feeling I've seen it recently - perhaps in Michael Pollan's excellent food book. From which I deduce that it's a food additive, but no idea what kind...

 

[theclaud]

Now Googled. I see we're still on the bread theme. Yes that's definitely one for the Useless bin. This is heartening:

"In Singapore, the use of azodicarbonamide can result in up to 15 years imprisonment and a fine of $450,000".
