I put my bamboo pyramid over my external CD drive and all of my CD's before I rip them - makes my music sound 10x better than yours.

and i thought some head-fiers had ridiculous ideas.
that forum really makes you think about how serious and audiophile you are. or more like how serious you need to be before you start believing things that are scientifically proven to be wrong. *rushes to the science forum for sanity*

No, but I soak all of my CDs in tea tree oil for 6 hours and 47 minutes the day before ripping them. I find tea tree oil is very efficient at removing negative energy from optical media.

I love all the attention he pays to where the cd came from, pressings, etc... then he plays it back on a PSP
I import my oil directly from saudi arabia, because it makes my 1987 toyota tercel drive GREAT.

O.O man, if the green pen/foil/shakti stone trifecta doesn't do it for ya, NOTHING will. Although, I hear the blood of a Tibetan microcephalic does some pretty amazing things to tubes. (FYI: a microcephalic is what was refered to as a "pinhead")

Don't forget the unobtainium cables doped with pixie dust. Be sure to observe the directional arrows as well.

Just make sure you aren't calling up the other type of Pinhead... hey, why are my headphones connected to that ornate little wooden box?

I'm old fashioned. I slit a goat, channeling all the bad sound quality vibes into it. It runs away and dies with them. It makes my PCDP sound better than anything you've ever heard. Stones, and bypassing memory retention can't beat good old biblical magic. I think the 4H kids are starting to get suspicious.

This is just too much to read without laughing hysterically.

And with EX90.

He considered himself a "frequent traveller audiophile", I guess he didn't know that head-fi exists.

May be I should do him a favour.

This is definitely old school. Sacrifice is highly under-rated. I don't hear many people talk about it, yet it is so effective.

i only rip cd's when the moon is in its newest phase at high noon, that way its gravitational pull won't have as much effect on SQ

That's pretty dang crazy, but not really more crazy than people using ridiculous wire and isolation feet on amps and CD players.

those people know nothing. obviously using a RED pen to paint the inside and outside of a cd (actually like a stoplight. green means go) is what reduces the high frequencies when ripping a cd. sometimes the things people believe scares me

That's one of the funniest threads I've read in a while. To bad he's serious.
