| Debrox - maintenance for your ears You're right MC after a cleaning, WD-40 will displace 40 times its weight in water.. really.. that's that it means, Water Displacement, 40 times its weight.. Do you believe that? Great to dry out a fuel cell with a little moisture and a light lub... | |
| Debrox - maintenance for your ears I use a high speed drill, and a barrel cleaner, for a 45. I start on the left side and don't stop till it comes out the right, after a slight recovery, I go the other way, right to left.. If all else fails, take a good size firecracker, light it w... | |
| Q Acoustics Tensegrity tripod speaker stand - where can i find something like this ?! Look real close, they are some pretty serious stands. I see why they are so expensive.

As much "CORRECT" room treatment, as you can handle. It's gonna be right over your head and corners, for sound anyways. Don't go to many directions.. Most spe... | |

| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) In other words, I've put too large speakers, too high up in a room with low ceilings. I've created an acoustic challenge that makes it seem to be about the material the tweeter are made of — but that is just a small part of the equation. That is... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) OP, I was thinking about a 6.5" lid. In the seated position. Your ears in a normal chair, are pretty close to the ceiling.That's a BIG problem. I would try a low rider chair, just to seeif that would tame a lot of the HF, issues your speaking of.I... | |
| LUMIN D2 no sound? My 2500 has an auto mute. Make sure it is set correctly. I turned mine off, but it still ramps up slowly on the Mac, after warm up. What does the volume say on the Mac? It doesn't have to say MUTE to be muted.But the little light will be on if I r... | |

| DAC filters OP you're either going to add, or subtract, amplification of the effect (frequency), from 0 ZERO. If you have the ability, to change the slope from 6 to 48 db, that will surely change the notch width, from VERY wide, to very narrow.If you have 5 b... | |
| Infinity QLS 4 QLS4, one of the few I haven't heard. 1, 2, 3, yes. The QLS2 is one of my all time favorites. I'm a big fan of the RS2b too. Like you I'm a Infinity, person, and close to the same amount of time.Let me ask you, what do think of them. That single ... | |
| Seeking Opinions/Stories from Carver Crimson 275 Owners I've owned a few of Carvers Valve amps. The Crimson, was little dry for me. I come from a Mac background. The 275 had a ways to go to catch the magic of a MC240, that was just built good, nothing fancy.It bested my MC275 GG, but not my 1964 MC275... |
