I am thoroughly confused. This reads like satire: “my IC’s are made of PURE GOLD and SILVER.” Also, the sarcastic bread ties comment by @christophervalle was spot on. Yet some active and long time forum member rush instantly to defend @mark-d against other’s claims that he is in jest. Can we get @mark-d on record if he is seriously suggesting the battery tweak with a certain orientation and voltage level or if this is (hopefully) a satire?
If serious, maybe I should revive my post on upgrading my PS Audio Shipping boxes for better sound and get offended if people accuse me of being a clown.
