| Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking... I can’t think of any reason or scenario where crystals would have a positive effect. Mucking with a signal is usually a bad thing unless mucked with in a very specific way for a very specific reason.One might perceive a positive effect due to expe... | |
| Robert Hunter unfortunately has died The Dead without him would make for a wonderful alternate "Its a Wonderful life" story.I saw him live solo in college a few times. He was the man who helped put the Dead on the map."grateful" Dead?Sorry couldn't resist.... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... uh...replacement cost maybe when a fuse does its real job and blows?It's only money. Who cares? | |
| High value, giant killer speakers? Vanatoo. Choose your source device and connection type. | |
| Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking... As I understand it the crystal must be subjected to physical stress like a vibration to release an electrical charge or vice versa. So if you are hearing something and that is not the case that would indicate what you are hearing is due to somethi... | |
| Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking... Well there is this application for quartz crystals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_synthesizer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_oscillator | |
| Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking... Oops....yes he was for a change......don’t mind me.....I wish they would have had classes on geologic applications in home audio back in school. Right down my alley.... I do have a lot of rock and mineral and fossil samples I’ve collected in the f... | |
| Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking... Could be GK. I know better than to expect you to actually learn anything new by now.Are you one of those "old dogs" people talk about? | |
| Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking... Obviously madman’s butt is still stinging from the recent beat down. Like all your theories, that one needs some work too. Hopefully your meds are not too much of an impediment. | |
| I gre out of Be Tweeters If things keep heading in the current directions, I could consider dumping amplifiers altogether at some point in favor of active speakers with all the goodies built in, but only if the cost of replacement when something goes wrong is not too high... | |
| Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking... Hey Mahgister, keep at it! Maybe you can help GK get his theories right. | |
| I gre out of Be Tweeters I had a lovely Class G Hitachi sr-804 receiver for many years but as time went on it got a bit long in the tooth for whatever reason. I was enamored with Heil Air motion transformers back when I first started but gave up on them when they kept get... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... Apparently the systems at RMAF used the wrong fuses. Go figure! | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... The irrefutable fact is whatever effect a particular fuse has on sound is based on conjecture which is fine because conjecture is a huge part of "high end audio". Not all conjecture is created equal though. If sworn affidavits on an audiogon chat ... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... Katie makes things up as needed to sell his point, products whatever tickles his fancy. The last guy I’d want on my team pitching the benefits of my product unless of course there are no benefits. |
