| Why is the snake oil topic closed? That's what happens when you eat at a dump. They serve Coke warm and flat. Which is analogous to naysayers who don't have good luck with certain tweaks. It's an operator error. Hel-loo! For the rest of the tweakaphobes, the ones who never get up o... | |
| Why is the snake oil topic closed? Huh? Coke or Pepsi? Don’t be silly. You buy the one you think tastes best. It has almost nothing to do with advertising. Are you so gullible? By the way, Coke is much better than Pepsi ever thought of being. | |
| Why is the snake oil topic closed? Audiophile product fraud would be rather difficult to prove in court. And that’s why Better Business Bureau, Consumer Watchdog groups, Consumer Reports, Bureau of Consumer Protection, FCC, NIST, AES, Journal of Physics, or any other consumer prote... | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit? I fear the problem is when something measures worse but sounds better. Besides the sound one hears in a particular room is due to the contributions of everything in the system - for better or worse - including the room itself. | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! @bdp24 I’m pretty sure you meant roller bearings work in all directional except the *vertical* direction. That’s why they work well with springs, a la Barry Diament and yours truly, since springs are relatively poor in the lateral plane. Thus they... | |
| Why is the snake oil topic closed? Hey, this thread is shaping up to be even funnier than the one they closed. 🤡 Next up, How come audiophiles are always trying to get better sound. Why can’t they just be content like us? 🙄Enjoy the music. | |

| Why is the snake oil topic closed? How ’bout a group hug and singing a few verses of Kumbaya? 🎼 | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! @prof The vibrations that the turntable is most susceptible to ARE the low frequency seismic ones since the natural frequencies of the platter, cartridge, and tone arm are very low, around 10-14Hz. That is by design. The turntable is thus more aff... | |
| Error Correction during CD replay // Super Black Hole from Herbie's Audio Lab Whoa! What! Never use green on Grieg! 😀 I’d be interested to hear what happens with flat black. I predict you will not like the sound. But if you use black on the inner edge I predict it will be OK. You can also try purple on the outer edge. A lot... | |

Necessity is the mother of invention. - Old audiophile axiomA rich man has about as much chance of getting into Audio Nirvana as a camel 🐫 has of passing through the eye 👁 of a needle. - Old audiophile axiomSine there is no final destination you m... | |
| Error Correction during CD replay // Super Black Hole from Herbie's Audio Lab I use Walkman CD players and Walkman cassette players. One thing that Walkman CD player has in common with full size CD players is vulnerability to background scattered light from the CD laser. The background scattered light is a combination of vi... | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! People often comment that some rack or marble plate or granite slab rings when struck with a small hammer or other implement and therefore the thing would ring under normal circumstances. Allow me to disabuse you of that idea. Don't strike the rac... | |
| Soundstage........ Not necessarily 6 feet, could easily be less. Could be 4. Could be 5. Depends on speaker and room, whether room treatments are employed and how many. What you actually need to do it correctly, rather than guessing, or trying to determine the locat... |
