Ah, well... I can send you a specially calibrated precission tap for
only $10.000 which allows you to have certified tap water for this
operation. Due to new discoveries in the tap field it only requires
calibration once every year. If you are in to digital music gear you
require a matched multi-tap set, a small set of 10 taps will be
available for only $120.000. Large multi-tap sets are available at
request.

Calibrated towels, towel hang-clips and towel wires can also be supplied.

The procedures for setting up a towel dampend room is expected to
become an AES standard later this year.

Magnus - sorry for killing your buissness...
