Rockvirgo, how did you ensure that all of the previous oil was completely removed before trying the next oil? Iso-propyl alcohol is not a good solvent for lubricating oils.Bob P. 
Ten Percent Distortion?
Of course true audiophiles aren't interested in the distortion figure! It is probably that 10% distortion that makes that amplifier sound better to that audiophile's ears, who naturally says that the sound of an amplifier is all that counts. That ... 
Ten Percent Distortion?
Actually, the 100wpc at .3% distortion amp sounds the same as the 140wpc at 10%, since it is the same amp.! But which spec is more attractive? The 140wpc one, of course, so it is the one used. The % distortion is rarely quoted in big letters.Bob P. 
Can I suspend / hang speakers?
Swampwalker, be carefull of intuition and "common sense", they are what people use to explain that heavier objects fall faster than light ones.The movement caused by the counter movement of the speakers can be calculated to be virtually, if not li... 
Whatever happened to REAL "owners manuals" ???
Marakanetz, I was referring to Crown when they sold consumer equipment, circa 1973! 
Whatever happened to REAL "owners manuals" ???
Since audiophiles are selecting their equipment according to how they sound, what good would properly written manuals containing facts and specifications be? And, who is going to understand that stuff? When manuals are supplied, they are mostly to... 
Jumpers vs bi-wire
Nighthawk, isn't your conclusion what I said? Use one good wire over two is better and less fuss. Of course the individual drivers don't see the same voltage signal, that is what the filter section in front of it is there for. The wire, however, f... 
Jumpers vs bi-wire
Nighthawk, that is true if the wires see different frequency content, which is true if the speaker is bi-amped with the crossover before the amplifier. In this case, both wires have as their source the same frequency content since the dividing net... 
Jumpers vs bi-wire
But Nighthawk, the signals going to the separate points on the speaker are identical (there is no separating going on at the amplifier end), so bi-wiring is exactly like Flickkit said. Doubling the size of a single wire will give you the same effe... 
Point to point wiring.
Pbb, surely you were educated by the Jesuits - Loyola or Brébeuf? I find your sense of logic (especially establishing the premise of an arguement) refreshing. 
Good Quality Distilled Water???
A good source of mineral free water is the water condensed in an airconditioner - just pass it through an ordinary paper filter and voila, a perfectly good (and cheap) mineral free water, albeit, slightly acidic, which actually helps in cutting th... 
Golden age of vinyl recordings?
There is no relationship between analogue and solid state. In fact many vinyl recordings were done with digital recorders and then transfered to vinyl discs.I would estimate that the "golden age" of vinyl (analogue) was in the late '60s and early ... 
CDs sound better when recorded to tapes?
How is this "better than CD sound" possible if one is recording from a CD which "doesn't contain all of the information" in the first place? I thought that one can't replace or correct that which isn't there in the first place. Sort of punches a h...

balanced is inherently flawed
Or if a tree fell on the person with the cymbal, would we have an audiophile?
