[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Doubling Down

[ralphpnj]

The December 2015 of Stereophile (Vol. 38 No. 12) features Stereophile's
50 Best Products of the Year grouped into various categories.

The top product in the "Accessory" category is a tie between the Roon
Music Library/File Player App and the (infamous) Audioquest Jitterbug.

As stated in the title of this thread "Doubling Down". Need I say more?

What? The 'Altmann Tube-O-Lator Lacquer'
(http://www.altmann.haan.de/tubeolator/default.htm) didn't make the
list?

OMFG !!! "The Altmann Tube-o-lator lacquer is an overtone-filter

Now, now... Have you actually tried the product? Remember that
everything matters and that you need to keep an open mind. Trust your
ears... :)

Somehow it seems to find me despite me trying to hide from it :)

In this case, someone sent me an email seriously asking me if I thought
it might be a good idea to try it on his DSP system. I almost broke my
keyboard with my forehead.
