Acapella ion tweeters
Detlof: Have you ever heard any of the old Ionovac tweeters ? While i know that these were around many moons ago, i wonder how they would stack up with some of the "better" gear that we have today. Obviously, this question is open to anyone else t... 
Retail pricing in classified ads
Another factor to take into consideration is that some of the MSRP's listed may be coming from a country other than the USA. It is not uncommon for a component to have widely varying prices / availability as one changes countries and / or continen... 
Review: KAB SL-1200 Fluid Damper Tweak
Thanks for taking the time to write this and share your experience. I have noticed that many "tweaks" don't necessarily give you "more", they simply give you "less" of things that one might find undesirable. By lowering your noise floor and removi...

Price changes do occur during the lifespan of many products. To top this off, some magazines have a lead time of several months. A product could be sent in for review by the manufacturer with all of the pertinent information in January with a list... 
Sheilded/Unsheilded Power Cords
Bob Crump told me the amount of money that he made on his "best" year of selling cables. Believe me, nobody here would want to try and live on that amount of money on an annual basis. If Bob did not have other money coming in from previous employm... 
Corporate Interests out to KILL Analog FM
Doug, now you're mixing "X Files" with the Bible. May not be too far off though : )The thing that i find "funny" about conversations like this is that most people think that the person doing the talking is a "conspiracy nut" or they simply don't w... 
Review: Van L Quartet Monitor
Pmarlo, your "black and blue" Kimber is either 4TC or 8TC. If it has 4 of each color cable, it is 4TC. Ditto for 8 conductors of each color being 8TC.Out of curiosity, are you located somewhere near the Chicago area ? While i know that some of the... 
Sheilded/Unsheilded Power Cords
Audiognr: I think i've got 3 of the 4 covered, at least part of the way. Try and figure out which part of the equation i fall short on... : )One can be in the cable business and make money at it. It might not be a lot of money to start off with, b... 
Corporate Interests out to KILL Analog FM
Dougholdco: We can all toss around the names of various groups like the Bilderberger's, Illuminati, Kabalist's, Mason's, etc... and compare notes. The bottom line is that there are a LOT of things going on that 97% of the population is unaware of.... 
Woofer pumping - what gives?
They were either responding to warps or low frequency information that was well below the point of vented resonance or your phono section was leaking DC voltage. None of those are good situations. Sean> 
Sheilded/Unsheilded Power Cords
Bwhite: I'm trying to do something similar to what you want Audioengr to do. That is, test various cords and collect the results. I do not have some of the equipment that Audioengr does, but then again, i have some equipment that he doesn't have e... 
Audiogoners Anonymous?
Z: ahhahahaa.. Like i said, it is almost as "bad" as having a syringe hanging out or your arm. Believe me, i've heard the same thing, a million times over... : ) Sean> 
Corporate Interests out to KILL Analog FM
Noel, i recently went on a tour of WFMT here in Chicago. Audio critic, program director and DJ Rich Warren was the tour guide. If i can remember correctly, analogue broadcasting is pretty much GUARANTEED to be dead within a few short years. From w... 
Audiogoners Anonymous?
Hahaha.... I can see that we all have syringes labeled "Audiogon" hanging out of our veins : )I think that you folks know that i have it bad. Just look at how many posts i make and how long they are : ) After talking to Audiogon Arnie, he "conned"... 
Cleaning vinyl - am I using this thing right???
Marakanetz: I agree that most cleaning fluids and even water will tend to neutralize static charges. However, those are only a temporary thing and the record may build up static depending on the sleeve that one is using, lack of humidity in the ai...
