I can tell you as my breaker cover has been off for 10 years so I know how it sounds by now. Need to have an electrician over so he can remove the breakers and I can treat the ends. Tom

Nice it was!  So said Tom.

Take a quaalude and a shot of grain alcohol and forget about this whole darn wild and crazy dispute thing.  Tom

Back to the Total Contact experience..Yesterday while listening and enjoying great sound I was trying to describe what I was in the midst of.  The sound was emanating into a real acoustic space as if the notes were coming from real instruments in ...

GeoffThe tray assembly and surrounding parts have been treated for years. My comments were to color not just the tray but all the other surfaces that refract light. The whole damn innards of the chassis if possible. Tom

GeoffWith all our words exchanged it seems to me that those of us who still use a cd player or a transport should consider painting the inside top lid green or any other internal chassis surface they can comfortably recolor. Your thoughts on this ...

So if you can reduce and or absorb the amount of refracted light in the case then you will have fewer false positives for the error correction to mishandle and make a mountain out of a mole hill..Less correction needed the better the sound. Tom

So the green may absorb the refracted light bouncing around under the cap and case. The refracted output of 780nm becomes a different wave length when refracted and green is absorbing that newly minted wavelength? Tom

Geoff The metal topper is painted with AVM on top..so thats blue grey. The inside and lip that covers the top and surrounds the lip is painted green..I still have a few of these and the tint of green makes a subtle difference. Tom

On the cd topper I would say that the change is electromagnetic shielding or absorption and it could also be absorbing stray light bouncing off the cd edges and bouncing around inside the chassis. Less light emission inside means there will be les...

Any contact treated and in any place you can see to reach makes for a difference. I treated all the magnets not fuses in my system and that even made for a difference especially after a couple of days of use. I treated the cheap stock glass fuses ...

Frank "Sez I have a magnet on my refrigerator"Tom sez I have magnets in use thru out my audio room and products I have designed and built.  Total Contact will be an ehancement to some of those designs. Tom

Ferrous materials will alter the magnetic flux of moving coils. The fact that they are moving shows that the flux field not only is changed but varies as it moves in and around a stationary ferrous material. So get all that crap away from your twe...

Geoff,Brass is the only metal of music in your so called upper echelon of metals or materials. Some shapes you blow about are built of 2 or more materials while ours are made of only one material and hence one coherent shear velocity that is also ...

Brass screws have lower shear wave velocity than steel screws by about 35%. Cryo treatment may reduce this speed again because of the enhanced molecular alignent vs the more random alignment before the cyro process.Tom
