| CD Tweaks: An Update Whoa! Talk about a curveball. I did not see that coming. Although, in retrospect, it’s hardly surprising. I don’t know what’s in Armor-All but it seems almost as toxic as the stuff that melted the skin off that guy in Rollerball. (The original, if... | |
| Current Questions Thank you everyone for trying to drag me into the light. Unfortunately it seems that the light isn’t so bright. The implication of Terry9’s post—take off the cover and look for this and that—is that there isn’t a spec I can look at and get qui... | |
| Current Questions Yo Holmz, I appreciate the effort but you lost me in the first line. Rails? Volts? In the the equation V = I R, I assume that V is volts but what is the other stuff? Still, there may be some gold in the stream. Is current measured in amps? And ... | |
| CDs And Green Markers. Please Don’t Laugh. Life changing, right? I don’t know what I would do if I had to stack up those plastic boxes. It’s a mystery why everyone hasn’t changed. The “jewel case” was invented by an assistant manager in the shipping department at Sony in 1979 and we’ve bee... | |
| CDs And Green Markers. Please Don’t Laugh. Now I sound like the crank, but I just can’t help myself. Like virtually every thread on this site, this thread has degenerated into a priori or a posteriori thinking. Would-be physicists take a result—or, in this case, more likely an imagined res... | |
| CDs And Green Markers. Please Don’t Laugh. As I wrote earlier, I’m a reformed Armor-All user. The 1980s must have been a bull market for audio tweaks because besides the green pen and AA, I also followed a rumor that plain ol’ dishwashing detergent was another sound booster. I diligently w... | |
| CDs And Green Markers. Please Don’t Laugh. Dill, I’m sorry but I don’t understand your post. “Not to those who never tried it.” Because those people don’t understand the beauty of green edged CDs? They don’t know the aural beauty that could be theirs? They haven’t seen the double blind, pe... | |
| CDs And Green Markers. Please Don’t Laugh. I didn’t see any line drawings so I wonder if you went to the right site. Entering disc sox takes you to mmdesign.com. The company has diversified wildly, probably because there’s only so much money that you can make from selling 6” plastic sl... | |
| Herbie’s Super Black Hole Entry to that listening party will be a $1,000 wager as to whether the vibrations are present or not. | |
| Herbie’s Super Black Hole Below are two husband-and-wife computer engineers working from home during the day. They’ve never complained about the music and, when asked, they say that they never hear it. Likewise, I never hear their infant that they say can really belt it ou... | |
| Herbie’s Super Black Hole It wasn’t particularly subtle. Wanna set up a listening party? | |
| Herbie’s Super Black Holes My solid-but-fancy NAD C 538. The SBH is said to be compatible with pretty much everything except some players with exotic loading systems. Mine is a standard drawer loader. | |
| Jazz And Speaker Placement Ozzy, somehow you seem to have missed the sarcasm in that statement. Not an easy thing to do given that it was as subtle as a sledgehammer. | |
| Jazz And Speaker Placement Seems like another century. Nitewulf, I should make clear that while I once had top-notch hipster credentials, I’m an old man. With kids. As soon as the kids come, your knowledge of NYC cool spots is magically erased. When you’re scanning a menu f... | |
| Jazz And Speaker Placement Nitewulf, I’m actually in Fort Greene, a few stops down the G train. But I had to stretch for the alliteration. The night you describe used to be so normal. Now it just doesn’t happen any more. I saw The Hold Steady at Brooklyn Bowl in Williamsbur... |
