We already kicked this ball around for 29 pages last year, and in the process played every possible variation on the audiophile skeptic versus believer theme. Take a look:

:scratch2: If I owned a product like this (I don't) and it worked . I wouldn't post that it did. It wouldn't be worth the flames.

I'm just saying.

Brian is a great guy, i bought a rather inexpensive item from him (TT dust cover) and he came to my house and personally installed it.
He demonstrated a few things, a couple are in videos on YouTube. He didn't mention the Talisman. But the things he demonstrated, well let's just say I must be deaf

His last line was great.

Is there an echo in here?

I didn't have to read past the first paragraph to guess that the author isn't an English or journalism major, unlike so many of the writers who tell us what we should buy.

Sorry, I should have caught that. Thanks sebrof.

Oh no. Not this again!

Do you mean so many of the writers who tell us what to buy are English or journalism majors?
Or are you saying that since he is not an English or journalism major he is like the other writers who tell us what to buy because they aren't either?

I ask because this point is at least as important as anything else that will be written in this thread over the next several days, so id like to get clarification.

I don't know what Brian was drinking or smoking before he made that video? But I would like some of it. Back when I was in college we didn't call it talisman.
