What to do with bad recorded CDs
Agree with Oregon Papa, degaussing is a good idea, so is ionizing the CD, so is degaussing the interconnects. In fact, can I say that almost all CDs are well recorded, it's just that there are a great number of problems in the playing of the CDs t... 
Electrostatic speakers and low volume resolution
Nobody is suggesting that air molecules are charged at very high frequencies. They do however resonate when immersed in a very high frequency field of the correct frequency. That's how the molecules get jump started, I.e., moving. You can charge t... 
Electrostatic speakers and low volume resolution
Just to add that I'm not sure if the SteinMusic Harmonizer works similarly in principle to the Ultras but it might. The Harmonizer - at least according to what I've read - operates by "energizing" the air molecules in the room so that when the aco...

Ooops a daisy, I meant the over GHz frequency. 
Electrostatic speakers and low volume resolution
The Ultras of course work quantum mechanically. Yes, I know you were afraid I was going to say that. Hence the over MHz fequency. The Ultras condition the air molecules and make the acoustic waves propagate more efficiently through the air, like a...

While on a roll (:-)) I ran across the song list for the Stones tour. The highlights are:Let's Spend the Afternoon TogetherGrandmother's Little HelperGimme Homeless ShelterStart My Pacemaker UpHave You Seen Your Grandmother, Standing in the Shadow...

I understand Ultra Tweeters are still available. They produce only very high frequencies, just over 1 GHz. I used to have the Ultras in my system and even had the Deluxe Ultras in the same system.

There's also the tricky issue of handling all the walkers, oxygen tanks and colostomy kits as well as rounding up babysitters for the grandkids. 
the most underrated 33 1/3 in history?
Mickey Katz? Wasn't he one of The Monkeys? 
BI WIRE EXPERIENCE DARK SIDE
The current is alternating, not the music. Hel-loo! It's the signal that's going to the speakers you have to worry about, anyway, not the one going in the opposite direction. Duh!

Yup, '66, just like Rte. 66. Here's the tour dates and locations.http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rolling_Stones_American_Tour_1966 
Does HiRez really sound better?
I have some (compressed) CDs that are at least 3 times louder than the average (uncompressed) CD. Example: Radiohead Amnesiac. That's not "slightly louder." Hel-loo!

Whoops, it was the Standells. Dirty Water. 
Phasing out of Compact Disc
Talk on the street? You're kidding, right? Did you speak to the man under the bridge? 
Does HiRez really sound better?
I didn't say ALL CDs are compressed. But the trend is not your friend. And at least for me dynamics is VERY important. If it ain't got that swing it don't mean a thing. Music when you cut away all the jibber jabber is all about dynamics and microd...
