Is New Vinyl Exempt from Loudness Wars?
"Geoffkait do you listen to Led Zeppelin through your Sony Walkman or through a regular stereo ? I have a problem with Led Zep. If I do put it on the Spl’s usually end up going high and I get in trouble."Zeppelin CDs and cassettes as vintage as po...

Sorry to disagree but the DR for the CD of Back in Black is actually quite poor.  Terrible, really.  And nobody is saying dynamic range is all there is to the music but if it doesn't have any dynamics to it why bother?

Rodman, good comeback.  Cough, cough.

Thanks for the psychoanalysis, Mopman.  I suggest you high tail it over to your nearest library and hawk up on magnetic fields and electromagnetic waves before posting on this thread again. Have a nice day

Rodman, you don’t say. I was designing satellite systems when you were wearing bell bottoms.

Mop man, if in fact you're using mu metal then you should understand what I'm talking about.  Very strange. Oh, well.... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Of course everything can be improved.  Cryogenically treated fuses are a step in the right direction as is the use of a contact enhancer on the end caps, e.g., Quicksilver Gold, which unfortunately is out of production.  Exposure of the fuse to ma...

Mopman, no need to make this personal.  Let's keep this civil.  If you have something bothering you it's probably best to save the drama for Dr. Phil.

Thanx for the comic relief, Mopman but would you try to refrain from using my lines?

What does all that have to do with the price of spinach? The shielding in cables protects the cables from external radio frequencies but does nothing to protect the audio signal from the induced magnetic field. And the reason is because the induce...

If what you are attempting to claim was actually true they would need repeaters every twenty feet as opposed to every 25 miles or whatever. When transmitting to a satellite at 23K miles there are no repeaters! Hel-loo!

Radio waves do not follow the inverse square law like magnetic fields. If they did we would be unable to talk to astronauts on the moon or to send transmissions out into the galaxy you know SETI and all that. Radio waves don’t attenuate in vacuum ...

Actually radio frequencies are electromagnetic waves. I realize it sounds repetitive but RF is not magnetic fields, which are stationary fields. It should be obvious that magnetic fields are not the same thing at all as electromagnetic waves. If t...
