Thanks for the review...

Thanks for the review Merc. Good to have someone with the equipment "take one for the team" whether it be good or bad.

I do have concerns however and I think that much was well described by Dynobot who obviously researched your past reviews. In reading the review, I could not help but get a feeling that this sounds like a contrived press release! I work in health care and come across scientific "research" quite often where you know that some of the stuff was written by the manufacturer rather than an independent agent. That's the kind of feeling I get here. Doesn't really help when you've visited the manufacturer and they sent someone over to help set it up for you... That would definitely have major impact on one's opinion which should really be just about this piece of metal you bought for $2K. Also doesn't help that we still have no idea what this thing is supposed to be doing (I thought I saw someone from Synergistic posting here but they have not bothered to clarify anything)!?

Look, I may be off base but just putting my thoughts out on this.

BTW: In what way was the following "easy"?
"One should experiment with the MIGs and Enigma Bullets for optimum sound. I found this process easy with minimal effort."
What were you listening for? You got a number of variables here with these "Bullets" and whatnot so I don't quite understand.

Also, for this blind testing with friends, was it an instantaneous change with in on/off?

Was there NOTHING you disliked about this thing? It concerns me that these tweaks almost always improves but never deteriorates the sound... For example, if this thing was doing something, could you also find combinations of the bullets and MIG's where you hear deterioration in the audio? What about putting the computer beside the unit and detecting noise or something...
