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.

Much to my chagrin, I have been using my CD tweak about every other week for several years now.

At the same time I run track 7 about 2 or 3 times I am also spaying my cables and wiping my components with an anti static spray. A bottle about 4 times bigger then the rip off nordost stuff and only $8 and not $38. Another audio tweak rip off from nordost this time.

I have never done a close a/b before and after this geek attempt to make my system better, but It always seems more relaxed and airy afterwards.

I will do an a/b next time.
Reminds me of when I let my '07 Acura MDX redline through a couple gears to blow out the cobwebs. I don't know if it really works but it sure is fun. "Sounds" like the same kinda thing. I also let the big Rotel (like 700+ watts into 4)run wild through the Goldi's once in a while and that's pretty fun, too, but it might be the improvement in ear wax rather than any system improvement. Main diff is no risk of talking to Highway Patrol w/watts vs. HP. Also, yer allowed to crank watts drunk but driving that way is BAAAD!
