No, it was one of those gimmicks that seems to be made just to rip audiophiles off. It was some kind of beech knob or something that they claimed lower some harmonics and vibrations or some silliness like that. It was far beyond the typical wire argument and really deserves to be square in the middle of the absurdity category just for the sheer fact that it defies all logic.

For a small fee, my cousin in Nigeria could perhaps recover your cash. :D

I used some old guitar knobs to replace the stock ones, they look bad but after I wrapped them in masking tape I noticed my midrange was much more liquid. I am pretty sure my bass is cleaner, not deeper just more controlled.

That's the knob! I could have sworn I saw it for over a grand before though.

Nope, I originally posted that link a year and a half ago and this is just a cut and paste from then.
