Don't hold your breath for AES or any other "recognized organization" to perform any type of tests, blind or otherwise, on the items you refer to. Organizations like AES (believe they) have much to lose by even pretending to take such products seriously. That will be the day! Ha Ha

Along these lines, The Journal of Acoustical Society of America (oldest in the US and like AES quite set in their ways) published an article on audio tweaks last year (a portion of which I posted here a while back). That article mentioned both Brilliant Pebbles and the Belts, as well as some other items -- but only in the context of ridicule. After all, they are the Acoustic Society of America LOL.... it wasn't as if the author of the article had actually seen, much less heard, the items he was ridiculing.

Was the Journal of Acoustical Society article peer reviewed? Who among the "peers" would have stood up and objected? LOL This is precisely what we've come to expect from the so-called pillars of modern audio thought: "There's nothing new under the sun, and when there is you'll hear it from us first." HA! HA!
