Questionable Tweak


Someone on Audiogon mentioned using an air purifier to improve the sound of their system. I dragged my wife's purifier into my listening area, cranked it up, and.......,no change at all. They said it removes dust particles,to improve the sound. Has anyone ever heard of this?Is there any science to back this up?

DeKay-

Do you remember the RSL Speedscreen? $750/pair. Bought them to go with the Technics rack-my 1st Cee Dee player and linear turntable-BIG AUDIO DYNAMITE!

This is just a random pic of them. Not my setup.

'I saw 2 pairs of them (different occasions) @ the Goodwill across from Live Cheetah's in East Hollywood"

Dekay- Yup, anytime I'm in the area, I take a look. Never know what can show up at the right time.

About 5 years ago, I took them out of mothballs, replaced the torn passive radiators, gave them a good cleaning(came out looking close to new) and gave them a final blast of period appropriate Smiths, Joy Division and others thru my Prima Luna. 

Very listenable-with a little tilt towards warm. IMO, they would be a great DIY resto project. Maybe with some Xover experimentation, they could be tuned to one's ears. A little much for a room, if not S.O. approved or in a man cave.

Since I couldn't give them away, I put them out on the curb, and they were quickly scooped up.

"My favorite part of Rodney's show was him trying to remember the songs that he had just played (we would applaud if he got them all).

Rodney's show was always entertaining especially when a guest dropped in. My brothers then teenaged step daughter has a creepy "Rodney tried to pick me up" story from the 80's.

Changing times-that station is DREADFUL for even a minutes listen.

I'm old now, the Mac MR71 dial doesn't go past the NPR stations on the left.
