Do your tweaking eyes glaze over when looking at an external music drive?

Awaiting an Fo.Q order to arrive from Tokyo in response to Ric's kind suggestion for the ripper, I needed a distraction from writing and looked at a sealed Buffalo Thunderbird drive and an Oyen Digital MiniPro drive. Both were made in China where the deleterious effect of magnetism on music is even less well recognized by component manufacturers than here (if indeed that's possible).

Needless to say, I opened both up. Got hold of my Klein Tools 1001 Multi-Purpose Electrician Tool and a slew of 440 brass screws which I then cut down to size in a shopping bag where neither half could escape. Switched the brass for the magnetic in all but three cases that need flat-heads and closed the drives back up.

Been reacquainting myself ever since with favorite works at a markedly increased level of musical detail. Sometimes significant improvements in sound quality cost almost nothing and sit in plain sight.

Good luck finding a hard drive that is impervious to the effects of magnetism :) (nt) - 13th Duke of Wymbourne 21:16:17 07/28/20 (5)
