Audio Magic's MST treatment?

I'm with Elizabeth on this one. The warning against opening the Audio Magic conditioner because it will have a deleterious affect on the MST treatment sounds like pure BS to me.

More likely, it's intended to deter folks from opening the unit and seeing what little is inside.

Well, I have seen the inside of the earlier Audio Magic Stealth and Matrix boxes and ,yes, there is really not much inside. But let me say it again, they are the best sounding power conditioners I've tried. It really doesn't matter whether it's filled with pure air and nothing else, what matters is the sound.

So, I'm just curious about this 'new' MST treatment.

I didn't make any comment regarding the Audio Magic Stealth's efficacy.

But really, MST being affected by light is nonsense. The Stealth's are most likely not assembled in darkrooms, wouldn't you agree?

It's all a matter of trust, don't you think? If you believe in a company, their founder, creator, the whole nine, and he says this is what, why and how he does it, why not believe him. That's good enough for me. Tvad, if you knew someone who created, developed, and nurtured a wonderful modification for a component, like a cd player, that you owned and loved, would you believe what he told you in e-mails and phone conversations even if it sounded a bit outlandish and out there? Can you relate? peace, warren :)

Not necessarily, no. I
certainly would be dubious if my friend was making claims like those of
Audio Magic about the deleterious effect of light on MST. Furthermore,
we're talking about business here, and the potential purchase of
products. If anything, I am more cautious about doing business with
friends, because I don't want a bad business experience to negatively
affect our friendship.

I can think of few hobbies full of more BS than high end audio tweaks.
Frankly, it's embarrassing. Audio Magic's MST might be good and
effective stuff, but thus far, the claim that exposure to light will
negatively affect MST is suspect.

Why not ask your friend if Audio Magic power conditioners are built in
darkrooms, or under infared lighting? Ask him HOW light negatively
affects MST. These are reasonable questions to ask, and the answers
should address the issue pretty thoroughly.
