Re: Goodman's Magnum K series MEGA collection... Mod advice
I can only answer 5. I wouldn't use hot glue because it needs absolute cleanliness to stick well and I think you will struggle to get it into the inevitable gapes in the joints. A quick curing silicon sealant however will get into the joints and is somewhat more tolerant of less than perfect cleanli...

Re: Speaker cables
As a diy fan (meddler) I often try to make IC, usb or speaker cables for a non Nva system I occasionally use. I have a couple of questions to ponder 1- why do you have to have the negative run the same cable as the positive run 2- what relays bass better- a thick copper cable or a thin silver alloy...

Re: Power cables and fuses
I'm waiting for someone to offer to sell me my own 30KVA generating system to eliminate all the noise from the power station contactors, sub-station transformers etc. Last time I needed power that clean and reliable was 20ish years ago and it cost 900Kg of Jet A1 per hour. The power may have been cl...

Re: Jokes & Funnies
Interesting fact of the day: :ugeek: The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number. Why was that gauge used? Well, because that's the way they built them in England, and English engineers designed the first US railroads. Why did ...

Re: The reality of magazine reviews
I haven’t bought any Hi-Fi equipment for over 20 years. Microphones, amplifiers, mixers etc. but no domestic Hi-Fi, nor do I have any plans to do so, unless my tuner has to be replaced. Then I will buy a used one of the same model. It's funny, as a bass player, I've got absolute confidence in audit...

Re: The reality of magazine reviews
Anybody who is on this forum was guilty at some point Absolutely, replacing a perfectly good piece of equipment with something else because of a perceived improvement is pretty common. In Hi-Fi, objective analysis is so flawed that it is impossible to determine whether something is an improvement. ...

Re: 'Real' bass - ported vs sealed speakers
Domestic speakers are going to be played in a room. The designer knows that. So why not design a speaker that works well with a room? An excellent question, particularly given that speakers are tested in anechoic chambers rather than in real rooms. Additionally, it appears that designers are attemp...
