| Anyone have any info on RTR Series IV C Speakers I've heard those are supposed to be pretty cool. I think they use the same peerless cone tweeter used by Sonab of Sweden in the 70's... don't know if that helps at all. | |
| Pet audiophile peeves - name yours Audiofeil nice observation.. Audiogon is NOT the place to buy LP's (I have bought maybe 3-4 LPs here) for your reasons listed and high prices. I buy VERY CAREFULLY on ebay. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose (like more surface noise than rated)... | |

| Infinite bafflement? You know, I've always wondered if Acoustic Suspension and Infinite Baffle were exactly the same principle or if there was some difference.. I suspect that a woofer in Acoustic Suspension design has a looser spider and higher compliance since the a... | |

| Cleaning contacts, What first? I suggest usage of "Kontact", it can now be found on musicdirect's website, it is a dry-cleaner type chemical and leaves absolutely no residue and removes everything (except perhaps copper oxide on copper). I have been using this stuff for maybe 1... |
