"What is your explanation for the sound being improved when you destat or demagnetise PASSIVE things in the room?" Well, that would be the elimination of static charge! As on a cable, say, where the electron (or signal) flow can/could be molested by residual charge in the insulation. Or as on a CD, where a moving (whirling) static charge can erect a magnetic field (a la Maxwell) and hammer (a la the Beatles) the coils that drive the laser, sending them into mild conniptions unanticipated by audio designers and the Redbook people.

I'm not denying Beltism, but as an ex optical systems engineer I always attempt to identify and isolate the variables.

    • Perfect question. The whole jar being in the room or the house should have a proportionately large impact. - Enophile 10:36:07 07/25/07 (2)
