I can remember the days when you did this to your t/v rabbit ears antenna  it worked on them who knows it might work for what they  say it does. I don’t recall anywhere in the article it said  anything about improving sound. Just signal there i... 
Watermelon test for audiophiles!
What if you test the watermelon with your different  cables. Will they produce a different thump?  And if they do  will you be able to tell if the cable is silver or copper.  I can see a whole new way of testing cables coming.  This will be the ...

Testing for Dirty Electrical Power
Can’t you use an O/Scope to look for noise in the circuit  you should be able to see the noise on the wave form   
Speakers with deep/powerful bass
Good ole Infinity Kappa 9 and 9.2 will rattle the house  with the right power behind them   
Considering Towers in the $3000 range
