Do they do what they do forever. In other words
if you put them in storage for a couple of years
does the technology or process still work. I'm
tempted to try them I mean what have I got to
lose. Do you have to readjust your settings on
your tone arm.
Qdrone, As I understand it, the "functional" unit of the PHT is a crystal that probably has been lying around in nature for eons. So, if it works, it probably works forever. Obviously, you may have to re-adjust the VTF of your tonearm to accommodate the added weight of the PHT sitting on the headshell. Supposedly, the weight is trivial.
A friend and I heard the next potential generation of these at Newport in a Beta Test presented by Ted. Yes, they make an audible difference and you will prefer one over the other in your system. However, the one thing I was unable to determine during that test was the real need for them in the first place. In other words, are they a change that is a step forward or just a sideways move altering the sound slightly? BTW, Lloyd Walker offers his own version of this product and while a bit more money are very effective. I don't use either the SR or Lloyd's.
I can put an audio spell on your transducers to achieve amazing results regardless of source quality or system. My spell cost only 49.99USD with 100% money back minus shipping.
My custom audio spell is as effective as Berocca at curing illnesses. You can get a package deal containing Berocca and audio spell together for $79.99.
