Re: Mars Filters

I know there are some specialty filters--one even called a "Mars Filter." But I gotta tell you,

It seems that every filter is a "Best Filter" at one point or another. It's as if you put a filter in--almost any filter--and you say, "Wow, I didn't notice that before. This is a whole lot better than the last one." And then you put the last one in and you think that is better than the other.

I think there's a lot to be said for just changing filters now and then. Like buying new stereos or something. Both can be very good, but the change allows you to hear things you did not hear before.

It may be just a "Hawthorne effect" but I think there is something there.
