Who's modded modified speaker's cross -over?
I rebuilt my speaker crossovers which only had a capacitor for the Mid and a capacitor for the tweeter. No resistors or inductors.I chose Duelund after reading Tony Gee's comparisons (see attached link)http://www.humblehomemadehifi.com/Cap.html.I ... 
Racquetball isolation platform perfection
Bombay,Structure-Bourne and Air-Bourne sound transmissions into materials are vastly different to those transmissions excited by Impact.Why can't you understand this?There is no scientific correlation between the three yet you continue to assume a... 
Here's a real cool toe tapper
You keep posting this including incorrect information.The song was written by Ben E King originally for the Drifters who declined to record it so Ben E King recorded it himself and it went to No 1 on the US Charts.Where the Staple Singers come in....

Impact-induced sound is exciting resonances just like structure-borne & air-borne sound with the impact-induced sound being a worst-case scenario. why are you having so much difficulty correlating the two w/o the walking stick of scientific eq...

"I'd like somebody to explain why this is not a good test.""I don't have any evidence at the time of writing this post so you are free to dis-regard my post re. the knuckle rapping test & carry on w/ your life.I'm afraid that I do not have sci...

Bombaywalla,Can you provide any scientific study or evidence, any physical or acoustic principles or formulae which correlates the 'knuckle rapping test' with the behaviour of 'real-world' acoustical feedback?I see many audiophiles who place great... 
Can a small amount of bleach hurt your records?
Zeal,I use the steam while the disc is on my Raven/Hannl RCM.Vacuum up the water after the steam as well as the water rinse.As mentioned....there are oodles of threads on steam cleaning. Use the search function. 
Can a small amount of bleach hurt your records?
Zeal,Thanks for the compliment.I'm in Sydney and bought a SteaMatey from Godfreys which cost AU$30 (US$20). From the photos I've seen, it seems to be nearly identical to the Perfection Cleaner from Walmart?I agree with Doug (again)......why use a ... 
Anyone have any experience with the Naogoka MP110?
I had the MP11 but gosh....that was 20 years ago!?I can't recall it 'bottoming out' on the first track? 
Can a small amount of bleach hurt your records?
Zeal,I experienced exactly the same thing using L'Art du Son with grey algae settling and growing at the bottom of the solution.I steam clean now and certainly wouldn't use L'Art du Son again.

"Play those problematic LP's or tapes in some systems passionately and uncompromisingly built over many years to minimize distortions while maximizing dynamics - in most cases you'll be happily surprised."Well said Doug.Minimising distortions thro... 
Tracking error distortion audibility
Axelwahl,I have a 10" Continuum Copperhead and a 12" DaVinci Ref Grandezza mounted on my Raven AC-3 and I can hear no increased distortion on the Copperhead over the DaVinci on the same recordings.I agree with Dan_ed that without correct alignment... 
Raven One Motor Noise Problem
I have the Raven AC-3 and at one point I heard a noise which I located to one of the motors.The pulleys on top of the motors are attached to the spindles via an Allen Key screw so I loosened this screw and pulled the pulley up slightly and re-tigh... 
How about an accordion thread?
Someone once defined 'A Gentleman' as someone who can play the accordian...........and doesn't! 
Solid state amp/Tube Preamp. Possible?
I still have the Kebschull Preamp which has no Model No. on it.I think they only made one model which had a built-in MM and MC Phono Stage. Cost me either AU$2,000 or AU$4,000 (I can't recall which) some 20 odd years ago?You realise that the Compa...
