| Why is the snake oil topic closed? We have no idea how sexual minorities or sex-disoriented kids happen, we do not even know all the species of animals we are exterminating on this Planet. But, Hey, we landed on the Moon and we detect black holes colliding out There, we know EVERYT... | |
| Why is the snake oil topic closed? Patronizing A-Goners (anybody else out here?) by being "gullible" is what makes this thread so unpleasant. So I will ask again, what is the agenda on "my" side of all this? Should we all repent and buy Bose Wave Radio? | |
| Why is the snake oil topic closed? I think it would help if the topic called "snake oil" won't be taken so seriously! ;-) ...Seriously!!!It is just snake oil, so by definition it should be fun talk, not name-calling and endless accusations. Art Dudley (of Listener, now one of the ... | |
| VPI 16.5 Cleaning Machine - Drying Question I use VPI16.5 as well, I use MoFi cleaning solution and a bit of scrubbing with Disc Doctor brush, then vacuum for one round. Then about 5-10cc of 18 MOhm Deionized water (having my own chem lab has its benefits), spread with VPI brush and vacuum ... | |
| Error Correction during CD replay // Super Black Hole from Herbie's Audio Lab Today I gutted one cheapo Discman, what is left is just a spindle motor and plastic bottom half of the player. Connected spindle motor to variable DC. At 2V / 1000+rpm some CDs make this CD-centrifuge vibrate like crazy (e.g., all CDs from German ... | |
| Why is the snake oil topic closed? Because a few 'Goners were plain rude! Started with "foggythink" and went downhill from there...this thread will be closed also if folks continue with that same attitude, OP sets an example of such | |
| Error Correction during CD replay // Super Black Hole from Herbie's Audio Lab I did buy Staedtler 350 Lumocolor marker in Green.Funny thing, once I treated hybrid SACD of Grieg Piano Concerto with this marker, its SACD layer got busted: starting at track 2 it skips and stalls. CD layer is OK. This proves, I guess, that usin... | |
| Error Correction during CD replay // Super Black Hole from Herbie's Audio Lab @kijanki Thank you for responding!! These last few years I got myself a hobby of reviving 1st generation Discmans. Have seen "all of the above" :-(A few days ago I finally cracked and send an email to Steve Huntley, the designer of my Wadia (he is... | |
| Do you listen mainly to Audiophile CDs and records? With so-called "classical" the reading , not pressing quality, is my thing. Brahms symphonies under Bohm are in constant rotation on my Naim CDS3. Wish I had extra $500 for DG D2D LPs but do not care that much about Simon Rattle reading. Wish I h... | |
| DVD-Audio media, thoughts? worth the cost of the media? The difference is "there" and DVD-A sounded soo much more natural to a Naim-head like me vs SACD. Within those few weeks when I had Linn Akurate in my system. But. But. Hitting my Golden Age of mid-fifties I gravitate towards Bruckner and away fro... | |
| After a (weeks) worth of listening... Nik Bartsch "Ronin Live"...but, seriously, all this would be so much more informative if we would follow up such advices by some "background check". Like posting our fav albums (three would be enough), to show our own preferences?...i go first:Wis... | |
| Audio Desk Systeme CD lathe Sound Improver @audioengr and @perfectpathtech what is the diameter of the inner mask? Is it important, or is it there to prevent rubber spray from getting on the underside of CD? Once I get the Lathe I will try this tip... | |
| Why not batteries instead of power supplies? @nycjlee +1! Vinnie Rossi room was one of my fav at LA Audio Show this year!Sutherland battery-powered phono got ditched by the man, I was really disappointed that in his interview with Stereophile he bluntly refused to answer why. Agree with the ... | |
| Audio Desk Systeme CD lathe Sound Improver @geoffkait when you mentioned freezing and Magic Pen I was pretty sure you are making fun of the idea. Not so sure anymore... 10+ years ago we had quite a few posts on the subject, it took me awhile to realize that Audiogon does not allow PM, so h... | |
| Artists Seemingly Incapable of Laying a Turd All my fav artists did put out some turds!!! PF with "Music from the Body" "The Final Cut" "Pros and Cons..."(I know, it could have been The Wall, but it Did Not!!)Genesis, Van Der Graaf Generator, Dead Can Dance, Tchaikovsky, Ligetti, Mozart, Bee... |
