| The Hub: QUAD ESL-57, Some good things last a lifetime. I took off the dust covers as well as the grills. The dust covers, you know, cover the transducers, I never had an issue with longevity with the speakers and they were in use many years w/o the grills and dust covers.

In the infinite, well, almost continuum of sound quality, no I'm not talking about measured performance but the *perceived* performance, how it sounds to you, there needs to be some method of figuring out where in the wide wide world of sports you... | |
| Motorman's New Scam Of The Week - the miraculous Furutech LP Demagnetizer Yes, I know I’m the last person anyone would expect to throw a damp towel on the proceedings but in order for an object to be demagnetized it must obviously be magnetized in the first place and in order to be magnetized it must be magnetizable, no... | |
