| whistling in the ears My wife suffers from this. She has found that caffeine has nothing to do with it. She says it is never a problem at home, and mainly occurs outside or in the mall and most often in summer. Her solution is a heavy over coat and a long skirt down to... | |

| Bass--How much is too much? IMHO what differentiated them was not db level but speed of the leading edge of the notes. What Newbee describes is EXACTLY what you tend to get from an accurate subwoofer. It allows you to clearly discern different bass instruments as the timbre... | |

| the paradox of accurate speakers do all so-called accurate speakers sound the same ? Yes accurate speakers do sound very close...not perfectly the same (that would mean they were perfect) but very close. There are a great many "so-called" accurate speakers (you can call anything... | |
| Electrolytic capacitors You are worrying way too much about this. Just enjoy the music. This is the normal situation for audiophiles - we worry about everything even what bit of wire is used between items. | |

| Electrolytic capacitors You need to reform the caps before powering up (to reduce the risk of them blowing up when powered up the first time)....after four years of storage this is a significant risk.These kind of caps tend to dry out after many years - so yes, in theory... | |
| Room size for Cornwalls? I tend to prefer a near field position with the speakers brought well out into the room in this smaller room situation. Smallish monitors on stands seem to work well. This way you minimize reflections from side walls and the wall behind the listen... | |
| Burning cd's for my modestly high-end system... I'm with Elevick. Your quality may already be compromised. Furthermore, downloading music without paying is illegal. Don't do it. Everything you do can be traced and is backed up and stored on servers somewhere => your IP address identifies you... | |
