They said it has a sort of "magic eye" on it, and when you hit that magic eye at just the right level, it's at that exact spot that it is saturating the tape, and once they accomplish that they believe it's like "adding a thousand years grain to the audio."

Two examples of an old Grundig - The Grundig Technicolor:

Front

Back or Side?

Another Front

Oooh no, I don't think so. I think they're refering to a reel-to-reel from the TK series of machines.

Something like this TK5 http://www.rolaa.de/sehensw/radio/tonband/tape1/tape1/tk5_e.htm

I couldn't find one with a good picture or description of the magic eye just now but there's loads of bumf on the web.

Yeah, you're right. It even mentions the magic eye in the spec's.

"The Magic Eye"

Holy crap, never noticed that on the Grundig before.

What happens when you play Magic Window through the Magic Eye?

Hahaha. I love magic window. It is said that a magic window can open other dimensions. Cause of it's frequency.

The life energy frequency (in the near ultraviolet): Magic window

38000-40000 Hz: Magic window

1.1-1.3 MHz: Magic window

150-160 kHz: Magic window

I am sure you know this already, but you know? For people who don't.

Oh shut the hell up I just posted this because they said they had a secret weapon, I thought this sounded like something they would use. It's a really nice synth. Of course they were most likely kidding around. Of course they're good musicians. I love the music I listen to cause it is good, it has a lot to with me and I'll make up my own mind what it is about. You don't have to get all, "I am a real musician who doesn't dig too deep to find the truth about the music, cause I am that damn good". Pfffff. You don't need to tell me they are good musicians. I know.

Yo, calm down. It wasn't directed at you or anyone in particular. Also i'm not sure where you got that quote, because I sure don't remember saying anything like that nor would I ever. I wasn't posting a "better-than-thou-post". My point was that they would make great music if the "secret weapon" was Auntie Hellen's silverware or just an acoustic guitar.

It spits out a secret code revelaing the secret location of a secret party held on a secret island in a secret place somewhere near the secretive United kingdom. Only real boc fans, who study and know such secrets, can fully focus their chi in such a way as to interpret and respond to the message.

I am one of the few who have responded.
