>>> "Cannot a procedure have duple or even triple reasons for its effect?
And finally, when one destaticizes a CD or LP electromagnetically (or with a Bedini thingie), no cream, no touching, doesn't that surely suggest a non-Beltian attribute? " <<<
Of course there can be double or even triple reasons for something's effect. But, at some point one has to come to some sort of conclusion or you just end up floundering about. As a 'professional in audio' one cannot 'flounder around', one has to at leasst have a firm basis (some good understanding) with which to work with.
But such as 'destaticizing' a CD or LP and gaining an improvement in the sound is believed that it works by doing 'something to the audio signal - doing something to the information on the disc'. It is when you do exactly the same thing - destaticizing or demagnetising PASSIVE CDs, LPs, audio tapes, video tapes, pick up cartridges, even (as has been suggested) audio cables - just present in the listening room - and gain exactly similar improvements in the sound - whilst playing another CD or LP or audio tape - that you have to ask "Just how is the sound being affected ?" That is when you will be 'knocked back on your heels'. That is when you have to begin to question everything !!
So, Clark, I ask you "What is your explanation for the sound being improved when you destat or demagnetise PASSIVE things in the room ? How are you going to explain how the audio signal, or the audio information stored on the (playing disc), or the acoustic air pressure waves in the room are affected. ?"
