| What’s really hurting the audio hobby? Forums are a dying entity. Look at what happened to AA and Stereophile. I come here from the future because in the future there are no audio forums. There are no more uncompressed CDs in the future, either, but that’s a different topic. | |
| How I tamed digital glare. Coloring the edge of CDs is so old school. As fate would have it colors affect only the visible part of the spectrum. However, the CD laser wavelength of 780 Nanometers is solidly in the near infrared part of the spectrum - the invisible portion o... | |
| A reappearance of Black Diamond Racing? The felt pads on the Supers should be removed for best results. The pads slow energy transfer audibly, can you believe it? 😳 | |
| Turntable leveling Starrett 98-12 precision bubble level, Amazon $219. Tell ‘em Willie Boy sent ya! | |
| what is it in audio that you dislike most? Yeah, right. It’s everyone else’s fault. You are just a victim. 😩 | |
| How I tamed digital glare. Playing untreated CDs on untreated CD players is like peeing up a rope. If you think you’re hearing all of what’s actually on the disc, believe me, you aren’t. Maybe 50%. That’s if you’re lucky.An ordinary man has no means of deliverance. Most peo... | |
| Novel approach to tackle Speaker Vibrations? You would accomplish much more by isolating the speakers than by mass loading them.

| Found the bass culprit in my monitor speakers... Removing the stuffing just sounds better. Been there done that. If the volume should have been larger maker it larger to begin with. Hel-loo! Stuffing is really a simple case of monkey see monkey do. | |
| Turntable leveling Same thing goes for CD players, but the top of CD players may or may not be the same level as the spinning disc. | |
| Best audio tweak ever, especially for the over 60s The best times to listen generally speaking are very late at night and Sunday morning, when there is less noise on the grid. Also pick a day when there’s a high pressure system in town, not a rainy low pressure system. | |
| SACD or not SACD? Just curious, when I play a DSD CD on a CD player what am I listening to? Redbook? DSD? Is DSD a form of Redbook? | |
| Help ! As long as they’re stored vertically 🔝 I have no comments. | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? @mahgister - improve your SGs even more with Cream Electret and Silver Rainbow Foils, free samples from PWB Electronics, enough to treat them all. Tell em Willie Boy sent ya! | |
| SACD or not SACD? There is no consistency you can hang your hat 🎩 on for much of anything. Redbook CD, 20 bit CD, SBM CD, SACD, even Japan SHM CD and SACD. It depends on the recording engineer and the mastering engineer. Too many variables. Some sound great with te... | |
| The term "High End" needs to die. Long live Hi-Fidelity! Coinkydink!! You owe me a coke! |
