| Why are the vocals on some records hidden behind the music on my system? Speaking of recordings being out of phase/polarity, at least 50% of CDs are out of polarity, you know, just by blind luck - there is no Standard for Polarity - and perhaps as much as 92%, if George Louis, the Polarity Pundit, is correct in his log... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Uh, WD40 is not conductive so I kind of doubt you’d have much luck with your designer concoction. In fact, it would be self defeating. | |
| New system has fatiguing, harsh high frequency sounds. How to fix? I suspect people get used to certain types of distortion, including high frequency harshness. Distortion is a very relative thing. You often don’t realize exactly how much distortion there is in the sound until you eliminate some or most of it. Al... | |
| Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality? Lots of people say cables are technical nonsense. Quoting Peter Walker is not only name dropping but an obvious Appeal to Authority. There are far many well known speaker manufacturers who believe cables ARE important. For those who might not know... | |
| Audio Horizons fuses.... won’t buy them again... Back when I was a dealer for the original $16 Intelligent Chip, which was good for only 10 treatments before it ran out of steam, I offered a recharging fee of $25. Was that wrong? 😳Not to beat a dead horse, all the angst and anger regarding the A... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Randy, did you mean contact enhancement or contact cement? 😳 | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Whoa! Hey, relax, fellas. I’m pretty sure someone who doesn’t believe wire makes any difference would not (rpt not) use contact enhancer. Could he be a chain puller? | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic hifiman5I think a lot of the controversy here was generated by obvious hyperbole. I mean claims of reducing electric bills if the TC is applied to the entire house-full of electrical connections is just silly. I’m not an electrical engineer but if... | |

| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Almost forgot, that audio myth slide show of Mr Kite that shadorne posted is from 2001. The amazing thing is folks still think like that almost 20 years later. Looking on the bright side, I guess we would not have audio forums if everyone agreed. ... | |
| Recordings with incredible effects or imaging that we may not know about Mono binaural recordings for headphones can be pretty amazing, some of them. | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic shadorne@geoffkait Kite was VP engineering at Audio Precision. The company that makes and sells audio test instruments that manufacturers and Stereophile use. So he was biased towards measurements...but I wouldn’t totally dismiss what he says unle... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Just to point out the long winded Audio Myths slide show is by Kite, not Kait. 😁 Ironically, Kite is from Oregon. I got as far as when he states all tests that are not blind are worthless. Then I stopped reading. What a load of horse hockey! He’s ... |
