Hello everyone. A very Happy New Year to you all.. Even though I repeatedly tell people that some of our earliest products are still very worthwhile to have...
And a Happy New Year to you May, or should we call you Delia?... It seems to me that there are fascinating aspects to PWB devices, such that old and new...
I am delighted to say that I agree with May and Richard regarding earlier PWB Devices. I recently purchased a budget turntable to use with the PC for the...
Kevin, I am always astonished by how good the oil is, and it's effect is way beyond the cost. I no longer use a turntable, but little 'spots' on unusual...
We were due to go to the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden last night to see the start of the new 'Ring' - 'Das Rheingold' - and indeed we did. I planned to...
Richard, It's of great interest to me your mention of treatments to the car in your last post. A few years ago I watched the first May Belt video lecture with...
Don't forget a bit of Sol-Electret on other parts of the car is great eg the fuses, and all the other things one can do. There is a lot of glass to attend to,...
I am posting this now, so that if any of the recordings of the recently attended 'Das Rheingold' show changes, I can predict some of them now without having...
About: speaker wadding. After reading the recent Newsletter, I got the idea of replacing the wadding of my speakers. They are now filled with BAF, i.e. bonded...
In the late eighties a British HiFi magazine suggested the controversial tweak of removing the speaker filling. Speaker manufactures were unhappy; they claimed...
Amartherus, I was about to post yet again - three postings in as many days must be a record for me - when I saw your question. About six years ago when I began...
Reply to A. Martherus. We have not used any acoustic treatment (filling) inside our speaker cabinets for the past twenty years. No Foam. No BAF Wadding. No...
I pretty much agree with Mrs Belt, though if one may wish to sell the speakers in the future, putting the foam/fibre in a plastic bag with Foil/Cream on help....
I am a huge fan of the 'spring clean'. Firstly it is an opportunity to re-spray or Clip key things. But also, all that junk, and printed material really does...
Sorry for the late notice, but I believe the 'Das Rheingold' that we recently attended will be on BBC Radio 3 tonight from 7.00pm GMT. I'll say nothing more,...
A week ago, I removed all speaker fillings. I placed the B.A.F. material in a signed and foiled bag and removed it from the listening room. It will be re-used...
Mr Martherus, this will be one of my lengthy replies because, as usual, there are many areas to consider. And, as I am sure will be appreciated, it is...
I want to thank you May, for your answers. The fact is -thanks to a flu- I didn't read them just until now. In the mean time, while I was home (ill), all...
Hi - question regarding 1/4 round for right angles on bookshelves, walls, TV stand, etc. - any advantage to using quarter rounds for sharp corners in other...
In reply to you Geoff, yes, you will gain improvements in your sound by treating right angles in other rooms. I remember Peter 'treating' the demonstration...
May, I cannot help but jog memeories, and concerned that people might settle for just beading, I must remind you that Peter once produced something more potent...
Richard, you are absolutely correct, we do have treated small ferrites which are used to manipulate right angles. They are 10 UK pounds each. However, Peter...
The reason I mentioned them May was that I thought I remembered them being fairly cheap, yet rather good, and thought if someone is spending money on wood,...
Before posting my views, I was just wondering if anyone else had the chance to try something 'deep cryogenically frozen', with liquid nitrogen etc? I think it...
Richard - I have used cryo labs on number of occasions, (the first time was 12 yrs ago) and you're right - it does raise some interesting questions... Geoff...
I thought I had some clear views on this matter, but need to try a few more experiments this weekend to ascertain further the benefits and deficiencies of the...
Actually, this is more of a criticism, but having had a bit of time to experiement with some Ferrites again, it seems the right angle can come good. You will...
I agree with Geoff and Richard. The freezing technique, whether using the temperature of a domestic deep freezer or the lower cryogenic temperatures raises...
May, As you know, everything is far from simple, and the problem for me of any 'deep cryogenic' process is how to freeze all of the things one would want to,...
In addition to my crusade to be the only person posting at present, I returned home to proceed with my earth-shattering experiments, only to experience another...
