| Quantum Resonance Technologies Have owned the Electraclear for about 8 years, recently added Quantum Symphony, both great devices, only trick is finding outlet where they work best, the best outlet might be in next room...both of these items are field effects devices and take a... | |
| Damping Vibration - Friend or Foe? the problem with the analogy of the dollar bill and the lead weight - at least for isolation of low freq. vibration - is that seismic forces are extremely powerful, so powerful that they move the entire building with ease, including everything in ... | |
| Best recorded Nina Simone??? Her first record on Bethlehem label is on CD, but not sure about availability these days; recorded in small cafe in late 50s, this CD is simply unbelievable. | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test There's a man who leads a life of danger.To everyone he meets he stays a strangerWith every move he makes,Another chance he takes.Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow.Secret Agent Man.Secret Agent Man.They've given you a number.And taken away yo... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test I may have misinterpreted your analogy a bit, I seem to recall tasting ice brewed beer once and thinking it tasted "watery" but then I'm not a conoisseur. It seems like almost everything in this hobby is debatable, even more mundane items like amp... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test Zaikesman - The problem with the ice-brewed beer analogy is that the ice brewed beer was heavily promoted in the industry; this is not the case (no pun) for cryoing audio gear. I'm pretty sure cryogenic treatment of cables, records, CDs etc. will ... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test It's possible that sonic improvements via cryoing cables and wires are not the result of lowering electrical resistance of the wire. For example, sonic advantages to cryoing CDs and vinyl records are not a function of electrical resistance, at lea... | |
| Is the significance of room acoustics overrated? Unfortunately the room itself, by virtue of its box-like structure and hard, flat surfaces, influences the sound. Slap echo, standing waves and the tremendous build-up of sound pressure levels in all (8) room corners are three big problems that sp... | |
| What LPs do you use for VTA adjustment As i recall there is no guarantee that 20 degrees is the VTA used for a given recording. It would be great if there were a standard that everyone used, but alas....In many cases the angle used is 20 degrees, but in many others the actual angle is ... | |
| How to track down bad tube and what can it mean? The distortion appears to be caused by one of the new tubes. Replace the new tubes - one at a time - with equivalent older ones, listening to the amp after each replacement, until distortion disappears. This technique should allow you to identify ... | |
| Digital jitter and disk treament tweak Along the lines of the charge/discharge of the disc while spinning, thus causing the disc to wobble, if the transport/spindle is not absolutely level, the disc will wobble, causing the same effect (jitter). Unfortunately, obtaining level of the ch... | |

| Does your system's sound change with the weather? The speed of sound is slower in denser/colder air than in thinner/warmer air; the relationship of temperature, pressure and volume is of course PV= nRT. Why sound might be perceived differently for different ambient air conditions, esp. when chang... | |
| Does your system's sound change with the weather? speed of sound in air changes with temperature and/or humidity; that might be responsible for perceived changes in sound; but lots of things affect sound and hard to prove something else not responsible if you ask me... |
