| Upgrade Receptacle on 15A breaker Use any kind of outlet you fancy. The current drawn depends on your equipment, not the outlet, and probably doesn't exceed 3 or 4 amps except for a surge at turnon. If you short out the outlet the 15 amp breaker (or fuse) will open. In other words... | |
| Rain-X as CD Enhancement Treatment Repairing scratches that cause skips is not the same thing as making a perfectly good disc sound better, or louder. Scratch repair is plausible. | |
| Into 2009; What rules?? Tubes or Solid State In England, and other constitutional monarchies, the King Reigns, but does not Rule. Tubes are the aristocracy of audio. They reign. We bow to them. But transistors rule. | |
| Rain-X as CD Enhancement Treatment It used to be that application for a patent had to be accompanied by a model of the invention. Somewhere in Washington DC there is a warehouse with thousands of interesting models. They changed the rule, and now models are not required with one or... | |
| Rain-X as CD Enhancement Treatment Dgarretson...There is a line somewhere between enthusiasm and madness. You and I may draw that line differently. I would humbly suggest that testing the limit of a turbo-charged BMW motorcycle is over the top, and it appears that you have come to ... | |
| Rain-X as CD Enhancement Treatment Rodman99999...As a Bose user you have to have a thick skin!! But I was surprised to find in the responses to my comments that quite a few audiophiles have Bose 901s in their past, and more than one thought they sounded good under the right circums... | |
| Rain-X as CD Enhancement Treatment Dgarretson...It is a known fact that if you wash and wax your light airplane you will typically gain 1 or 2 mph. But an airplane is very sensitive to aerodynamics. Squashed bugs on the wing leading edge break up the laminar airflow, and that incre... | |
| Rain-X as CD Enhancement Treatment Douglas_schroeder...FYI...I was urged by Sean, of fond memory, to try something other than zip cord for speaker wire. He loaned me some audiophile-approved wires to try out and I did a listening test. With two speakers side by side, one wired with... | |
| Rain-X as CD Enhancement Treatment Douglas_schroeder...Sorry about the "I don't think" phrase. I will try to remember to use "IMHO" which seems to be acceptable :-)If RainX costs only $2.99 I will try it. I can always use the stuff on my car. (Their washer fluid is excellent). But,... | |
| Rain-X as CD Enhancement Treatment OK Guys...This whole thing is supposed to be fun. Don't get your nose out of joint.Rodman99999...The Bose issue is a perfect example of the "you won't believe it until you try it" arguement. I posted about the UNEXPECTED good sound from the hated ... | |
| Rain-X as CD Enhancement Treatment Douglas_schroeder...The way to make music subjectively louder is to add distortion! But I don't think your treatment does that either.My closing remark about UFOs was not arrogant, but just intended to poke a bit of fun, and get a rise out of the ... | |
| Rain-X as CD Enhancement Treatment Shadorne...I don't think that Tbg is talking about digital errors, which, as you described, are completely avoided by use of the RS error-correcting code. Anyone who claims that "bits ain't bits" is simply ignorant of digital technology. Tbg says ... | |
| Rain-X as CD Enhancement Treatment Tbg...If you "hear a difference between two digital copies that are identical" (to quote you) then your sense of hearing involves more than sonic vibration of the air. All I said it that for information in the digital domain, (before the D/A, ampl... | |
| Rain-X as CD Enhancement Treatment The ear is arguably the best measurement device when what you are measuring is sound...say the output of a loudspeaker. However, when evaluating what goes on in the digital domain review of digital data streams (or files) is arguably perfect. A bi... | |
| Which Universal Remote to Use? Outstanding response from Oppo. I sent them an E-Mail.You download new software, and write it to a CD. Then you use the CD in the player. Instructions must be followed exactly, or you may mess up the player. I have not done it yet, but I did do so... |
