| Open Baffle Speakers: Question About Materials When @ricevs (Ric Schultz) was making open baffle/dipole speakers and subs (employing the Rythmik Audio/GR Research Sub DIY kit) he made his baffles by gluing together three layers of 3/4" MDF, using Green Glue iirc. One great method for creating... | |
| Dust Removal @mc1968: Ah, okay. Live and learn! I was gonna ask but looked it up instead: DPS is Department Of Public Safety. | |
| New In 2023 Already on the shelves is City Of Gold by Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway, produced by Jerry Douglas and released by Nonesuch Records, one of the great contemporary labels. Molly's Crooked Tree album won a Grammy as Best Bluegrass Album of 2022. | |
| Dust Removal @asvjerry: I don't remember where in Texas we were Jerry. On a trip from L.A. to NYC in 1982, it took me 5 days in total (we stopped every night), one of them just to make it through Texas alone. Asleep At The Wheel's "Miles And Miles Of Texas" ca... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" Oh, I’m not offended @wizzzard , and don’t consider your case against Walter Davies’ ethics to be proven, nor that he even has an "other side." Even if Last products are what you or anyone else may consider grossly over-priced, that is not (to ... | |
| Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters Ruins the Song ‘Money’! Allow me to speak for those who don’t think much of "Money" by Pink Floyd to begin with. "Money (That’s What I Want)", written by Berry Gordy & Janie Bradford and sung by Barrett Strong, now THERE is a song. The Beatles liked it enough to rec... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" Regarding my statement that Walter Davies "was one of the most ethical persons I have ever known", that was obviously (it seems to me) said in regard to my interactions with him as a hi-fi shop owner. To then take that opinion and by the use of tr... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" Damn @wizzzard, you put some time and effort into this! Though Walter Davies passed away a few years ago---and had sold the Last company shortly before he did, I'd love to hear the current owner(s) reply to your critique. I'll check into it. | |
| Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio? Made in Japan used to imply not good quality. Now the Fender guitars made in Japan are near the top of the Fender line, both in quality and price. The cheap ones are now made in Mexico. Is that okay to say? 😉 | |
| Dust Removal In 2012 an old friend and I drove from L.A. to Austin, to look at the housing market there. All across Texas the lawn signs read "Romney For President" until we approached Austin, at which time the signs read "Obama" for same. Texas is bipolar 😊 .... | |

| Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio? I just hope they stay out of biology labs for awhile 😉 . | |
| Dust Removal The dust storms in the California desert are just awful. They are bad enough to ruin the paint on cars! With that and five dogs in the house, I had to sweep and vacuum everyday. On the other topic, when I got up here to my sister’s house in S. Wa... | |
| Better Records vs MoFi Most of the old LP’s I’m looking for these days have not been reissued by any audiophile company, and aren’t likely to be. And the ones I’m looking for can sometimes be found for peanuts, sometimes not. I went into one of my used records store... | |
| Riddle me this.... Look for a copy of The Wood Effect, a book written by R.C. Johnsen. The book is devoted to the subject of polarity inversion. |
