Posted by: billyj on 29 January 2002

We all talk of expensive upgrades and al the rest of it,but it was posted on the forum a few months ago that the cheapestupgrade is a good bottle of red wine, it realy does intensify the music for some reason, you should all try it, and report back to the forum your findings.
Happy drinking

what do you mean, cheap?

say we're talking about a $ 15 red. Times 365 we're looking at 5 K, and there's no second hand market, I believe.

Alternatively, I'll go with a SNAPS quality red - there are plenty of half decent ones to be had from Argentina and Chile for $3.

yes wine is not bad
sometimes I think my balance pot is playing up again and then after I yawn everything is wonderful in both ears.
Another cheap upgrade is a few cotton buds in the ear, giving the canals a decent scrape and polish.

P.S My ENT always said "never put anything smaller than your elbow in your ear!" eek

Yes I see your point about ear cleaning, but you are right, you never out cotton buds in your ear, all you hard fast music lovers ou6t there should however get you r ears checked, and perhaps they may need to be syringed out, you will be surprised.

Good advice.

Used to do this, but always worried.

You can get ear drops, which you have to put in twice a day for a couple of days.

It's a bit more hassle, but the audible results are noticeably better, IME.

I'll look up the bottle & list the brand if anyone's interested.

cheers, Martin

The best if not the cheapest upgrade to anyone's (over age of 18) system is to go to the doctors and have your ears syringed. You'll be amazed at the extra bandwidth!
