This will rid you of oxides and various semiconducting materials and will often produce an audible improvement in reduced hum and noise. God knows what it does to your sound stage as the technique was invented before the term. It even helped back in the good old days of (blush) mono ( and I don't mean the disease). -- "It's the thought, if any, that counts!" Dick Grantges hound!rfg
