The wine! Tell us about the wine!
Brian Kyle of Xtreme Cables was happy to tell me about his newest product, the Music Gun. "It's a Tourmaline-based negative ion treatment," he said. "It looks like a blow-dryer. You let it warm up for a few seconds, and run it over your compact discs."
"What are the benefits?" I asked.
"Oh, more openness, less digital edge! It makes your CDs sound more like vinyl."
"Interesting," I said.
The Music Gun costs $299, and can also be used to treat LPs. Kyle says the Music Gun's effects on vinyl are similargreater dynamics, lower noise floorbut less pronounced.
As bizarre as it seems , Brian Kyle's tourmaline gun { hair dryer } was a remarkable tweak that is a permanent addition to my listening regime . It seems to remove any remaining glare from digital recordings as well as make the music more dimensional . All I can say is Bravo
