Evilking is on the right track, but he gives the products he singled out too much credit -- rather than doing nothing, some of those items likely make your system sound worse.

Bravo. ...wanna get me a clearaudio table though... |

It's utter BS in my opinion, as many of the products actually are on that site. |
