| Do connection/contact solutions work or not? I would agree with Larry. The purpose is to remove and/or prevent oxidation. If the contact is already clean, it doesn't "improve" sound; rather it prevents it from deteriorating. If the contact is dirty, it "improves" the contact in the sense tha... | |
| Is 'FINYL' CD treatment still manufactured? You can find it for sale on this page... http://www.uhfmag.com/Digital.htmlScroll down towards the bottom. I'm sure others sell it too. | |
| Paradigm Servo 15 picking up AM radio station It takes very little to pick up a radio signal. The simplest, easist way to do it is with a wire. So the first thing I would check would be the power cord and the interconnects. If it is one of those wires, you might be able to eliminate it simply... | |
| Beatles Without George Martin? To say that the Beatles were the cause of the British invasion and that it would not have occurred without them is amazingly uninformed as to the extent and influence of musical talent coming from Britain at that time. Ever heard of The Rolling St... | |
| Beatles Without George Martin? The Beatles are so revered that it is almost sacrilege to criticize them. However, remember that the Beatles were turned down by other labels before George Martin stepped in. It is not unrealistic to speculate that they might never have been anyth... | |
| Using a Pre-Out to Bi-amp Given the speed of the signal, I would not expect any time delay in this circumstance to be audible or significant.On a related point, this reminds me of a review of a Bryston amp that I read some years ago. The reviewer was on record on a number ... | |
| Using a Pre-Out to Bi-amp The amps need to have the same gain. If they don't, the drivers with the lower gain amp will have a lower volume than the drivers driven by the amp with the higher gain. The effect would be like having a balance control between the drivers, as opp... | |
| Red herring lost in a forest of speakers, memories It sounds like a Thiel, except for the price you mentioned, i.e. the CS .5 (Note the "point" before the "5"). Here's the Stereophile review:http://www.stereophile.com/floorloudspeakers/223/Geven the price you note, check the Thiel website to see i... | |
| what are the thoughts of stand alone super tweeter Well it has been great fun watching this thread, particularly as it teeters on the edge of incivility. In my previous post, I proposed that the supertweeter operates by interacting with audible frequencies. It does not need to be in the audible ra... | |
| High end Audio for ladies? Check this out Home Depot are also redesigning its stores to be more appealing to the female shopper since they play a large role in many major household purchases/renovations. | |
| Beatles Without George Martin? That's why he often called "the fifth Beatle".Still, the lads could do some things for themselves. When Pete Best was dropped from the band, George Martin arranged a studio drummer for the recording of "Love Me Do", not knowing whether this Ringo ... | |
| High end Audio for ladies? Check this out I think this is a good idea and certainly worth pursuing as a business opportunity. There are other businesses, such as fitness clubs, that cater only to women for gender based reasons. It is unquestionable that women have different views and appr... | |
| Why do dealers do this? My three favourite personal stories/experiences:1. I go to a store to buy a TV. A salesperson is at the counter reading an audio magazine. There are no other customers in the store. I walk over and say: "I'm looking for a new TV for my home theatr... | |
| Benchmark DAC1 Pre All things being equal, the fewer connections the better; therefore Option 1 should be better.However, all things may not be equal. You use Option 1 if you run your speakers full range. You typically use Option numnber 2 if you want the sub to fil... | |
| inwall speakers PSB as well as Paradigm. Good value and sound for the money. PSB is based close to where I live. There are a lot of PSB in wall speakers in builder's model homes around here. Home theatre rooms, often as finished rooms in the basement, are startin... |
