Whatever happened to the magnetism explanation for why brass screws work better than steel? Did that like just disappear? Brass is way down my personal list of materials. I did not mention lead, either, which of course is the absolute worst.

shrink wrap film residue- how to remove
For really badly decomposed Scotch tape, a horrible sticky mess that had probably been there 15 years on the paint all around the head of an expensive tennis racket, Duck brand adhesive remover from Target worked a miracle. After a couple applicat... 
I think I've Just Seen Absolute Proof That Audiophiles Are Insanely Gullible
When it comes to meat Spam is perhaps the best for damping applications. Not too soft, not too hard, supremely elastic and supple. Spam, the veritable meat. By Hormel, The audiophile’s meat of choice.

For fazee or anyone else with a limited audio vocabulary, words starting with A through L. Feel free to use your own words to describe what you hear. Please disregard typos, they are not your humble scribe’s. 😛 Accurate - The music is unaltered by...

Background noise produced during the whole manufacturing process could be tape hiss. Do I win a prize? You should be happy 😃when you hear tape hiss from the original tape since digital has somehow been able to eliminate tape hiss, along with a lot...
