| Snake oil and tweaks that work! Jadem6, I'm sorry that you don't believe my statement. George Melior was doing some very unusual stuff in the early 90's. Rather than be arrogant and rebuffing my statement as tripe, look into it yourself. You will find evidense that this was avai... | |
| Vote for best US made solid state amp Hold it! I was berrated for stating the obvious on another thread concerning this kind of discourse? Leave carl alone. The man obvisouly wants(needs) attention in anyway that he can get it. Positive or negative. Treat him like the annoying child t... | |
| Snake oil and tweaks that work! Museatex used to cryogenically freeze CDs to absolute zero. I had an Aaron Neville cd frozen, then went out and bought a duplicate. I never read any white papers concerning the theory, but what I heard didn't need one to explain. We tried doing an... | |

| How about a soldering thread? If you are going to be a long term kit builder, it is best to buy a good pencil. The wellers are very nice and do the job well. When it comes to some jobs it is best if you can vary the temp, not the wattage of the pencil, especially when it comes... | |
| Who R U? Gmkowal, it's great to build your own speakers, the final payoff is extraordinary. I have designed and built some 30 pairs of speakers over the years. I am currently working on a ribbon hybrid. Tweeter/mid from an original Apogee Duetta, and sever... | |

| Why Is Krell the a bad work??? Trelja, some points well taken. I think that I will join for the long hall, acornfedboy seems to be a decent gent afterall. Hatchets are buried deep. I never meant to indicate that I was some omnipotent audio god. I stated that what I learned in t... | |
