| W and M Interconnects "Even the worst Wal-Mart Special is better than most computer drives due to interference from other components and feedback from power supplies, fans, computer monitors and the like."What complete nonsense. A computer is capable of reading hundred... | |
| Vandersteen, Coincident or Green Mountain One word of caution. Even though I have not heard Vandersteens I have often seen them described as warm, and maybe a bit forgiving. My experience with Green Mountain speakers is that they are very neutral and revealing. I like this (I own a pair o... | |
| Please, DON'T TOUCH "Somewhere along the line, I hope, that mature adults will be able to keep that advertising influence in check."There's a whole ad. industry dedicated to making sure that doesn't ever happen. We are so immersed in advertising that, and the adverti... | |
| Please, DON'T TOUCH Bombay, I agree that we, in the west, are too wedded to our material posessions (and I can only speak of us westerners having only lived in Europe (27 years) and the US (10 years)).However I am firmly of the belief that people the world over are f... | |
| Please, DON'T TOUCH Portugal ... I think a very good move.After reading the thread I agree with Bombaywalla's statement that as a society we are wedded too closely to our posessions. | |
| Please, DON'T TOUCH I would ask the parents ahead of time to ask the child not to touch, but instead to ask if he/she would like to listen to some music.If they are interested and end up touching your stuff the best approach is just to remind them to please come get ... | |
| B&W 802 S3 losing snare drum snap Maybe the drivers have loosened in the cabinet ? You could test the tightness of the bolts/screws holding the drivers. This is just a guess as I am unfamiliar with your speakers, but I have known this to happen on other models. | |
| Any opinions re UK forums Vs. Audiogon? "the Pinkfish fan slags me for airing my opinion"Steady on ... calm down.PFM involves a lot of (mostly) light hearted banter. If you take it too seriously or too personally then I can see it would be easy to get annoyed by it. | |
| Audio Debt? The only thing I'll ever finance is my house. All the rest if I can't afford it I can't have it. I guess it comes from being raised in Yorkshire !I may buy it all on a credit card, but the card is paid in full each month. | |
| What's up with Meridian Audio ? You could try calling them in Atlanta (404) 344-7111 | |
| what is jitter supposed to sound like? "I would say that it makes everything less distinct"That's the best description, and matches my experience. And it's a problem in both low and mid priced equipment. In low cost it's a problem due to low price components, and in mid priced equipmen... | |
| Is anyone willing to entertain the idea "hi end audio is the 'wild west' of industries" ... " if it was regulated like other industries"What a ludicrous statement. Hi end audio is about luxury goods. Same as designer clothing, perfume, haute cuisine. We could all live happy, content liv... | |
| TECH GURU's out there, how to clean Circuit Board? Maybe better to use q-tips with cleaner, so that you don't have to spray directly onto the board, and risk stuff disolving and being carried to even less accessible areas. I have done this to clean excessive flux off parts I was repairing in the p... | |
| TECH GURU's out there, how to clean Circuit Board? No need to resort to patronizing language. Non conductive gunk on a PCB is almost certainly NOT a failure waiting to happen. If the gunk were likely to cause a failure it would probably have done so already. Using any cleaning agent risks doing mo... | |
| TECH GURU's out there, how to clean Circuit Board? Bombaywalla .. I think you did not read the original post correctly. The amp is stated to be in working condition.When electronics is working I don't go pouring liquids onto the PCB. Not water. Not alcohol, not even electronics cleaner (as some PC... |
