The Irrational But Efficacious CD Tweak


A dear audiophile friend gave me the Ayre CD tweak that Charlie Hanson humorously has entitled, Irraional But Efficacious!

You set your system volume at a moderately low level, if you put at a very high level you run the risk of "smoking" your speakers and play track seven that lasts five minutes. A series of very powerful tone bursts at different frequences pulse through your entire system. It's recommended that you only use this tweak about twice a month.

Well, amazing results happened in my system:

1) Great increase of transparency/clarity.

2) The soundstage got bigger with more layering.

3) Macrodynamics/slam /jump improved.

I give great credit to both Charlie Hanson and George Cardas, who came up with this thing along time ago, for their total honesty about not really knowing how it works, hence the name Irrational But Efficacious! Unlike others who would come up with some secret mumbo-jumbo explanation and charge a ton of cash. This CD tweak only costs $20.00.

If any GON members have tried this CD tweak please share if your experience was as postive as mine and if you have not tried it I highly recommend you do.

This is normally the sort of thing you can only get by with an amp upgrade (twice the power) or a significant speaker/component upgrade.

Here is a thought....just buy this disc for 20 bucks, sell all your high end gear for a song and buy some Tweeter Going-out-of-business sale gear and you are laughing! Better sound and $1000's back in your pocket! What a concept.

BTW I tried the Ref Recordings Test disc by Prof Johnson (it has a demagnetizing sweep too) but I could not hear any difference. Either it is my tin ears or not all demag sweeps are created the same...
