Audio Magic's MST treatment?

Audio Magic power conditioners and some cables are said to have this MST treatment. Does anyone know what that means?

Also they say that when you opening the power conditioners will destroy this treatment which accounts for 30% of its sound quality. Is there any truth in this, will this treatmnet be affected by the light, air? The power conditioners are not air tight and there are many Audio Magic cables that are MS treatmed which are obviously not effected by the light.

What do you think? Is this warning really true or is it just a way to prevent users opening the units and messing up with them?

Sending the unit back to him will be just to difficult for me and I'm sure he will not say yes to me to open the box. Well, maybe I'll use IR light to change receptacles :-)

Hah ha! what a load.
Maybe he captures magical spirits in there and if you open it BOOM! you let them escape?
Again, what a crock!
Can't open it? because you might be disappointed? probably!
I could understand saying you can't open it or void the warranty, but to claim it will ruin the sound is dabbling in 'magical' effects.
I guess audiophiles have just gone off the deep end!
If anyone is interested in my secret faith based bottle of audiophile nirvana, send $899. for a bottle of invisible audiphile joy, just pour it on your system and enJOY!
Yeah... right...

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?
