Amazing isn’t it?

>>>>Actually when you say “the signal still gets through,” that’s not completely accurate. What gets through is a combination of signal, noise and distortion. As enthusiasts we try to maximize signal and minimize noise and distortion. There is no substitute for signal over noise plus distortion ratio. That’s why we use contact cleaners and enhancers, to help accomplish that. Of course you guys are free to do whatever. It’s no skin off our noses.
