Re-read "The Moon Coin" before reading "The Dragondain", the first two books in
my brother's Moon Realm series. Pretty damn good for the juvenile fantasy genre.
If that's not your cup of tea,...

For speaker cables to change, they've got to want to change or you're wasting your time. No one sided arguments, interventions, or persistent
persuasions will work.

I use Prima Clarity with a microfiber cloth (bought for car windshield,
but use it on other windows, glass, mirrors, tv, monitor screens, etc.).

Does recapping 20+ year old failing electrolytics with new electrolytics improve sound quality?
- undoubtably.
Does recapping new electrolytics with new film capacitors of any decent brand?
-...

I didn't think Sonicap made electrolytic capacitors.

Bypass capacitors have a placebo effect proportional to the cost of the cap.
Of course the user has to know the cost for it to work properly.
Otherwise, they just increase the total capacitance by...

A quick search on the internet shows asking prices of $75, 450, 560, 675, and 1300
for these in excellent or better condition in the past.
Actual selling prices that I could find however were...

My best meteor shower experience was about 15 years ago with the Geminids at
Phantom Ranch at about 3 am (cabins and lodge at the bottom of the Grand Canyon;
you can only get there by mule or...

I watched the east sky for a short period about 11 pm, and for about 15 minutes after midnight, but only (probably) saw 1 faint one in the northeast which wasn't
even aligned with the radiant. I...

My neighborhood sky is fairly light polluted, which knocks out visibility of most of the fainter meteors,
but the forcast is for clear skies except partly cloudy from 1-3 am, so I'll give it a go...

I stand corrected, or maybe I should say your meter is well corrected.
Not all of them read 0 lead to lead.
Still, .5 ohms sounds on the high side for resistance of a 2.5A fuse.

A 35uF and 1uF in series would give you 0.975uF. 16 + 18 in parallel would do fine for 34uF.
Two 15uF in series would give you 7.5uF which should be damn close to the 7.4uF value.

I'll bet that 2.5 amp fuse has a resistance well below 0.5 ohms. You're probably measuring the resistance
of the leads of your meter along with the amp's resistance. Try measuring ohms with the...

Interesting stuff.
I'm originally a Baltimoron and a JHU alumni as well - Class of '81 undergrad.
And a Zappaphile (although he wasn't a JHU alum).

You'd need a v-shaped stylus, as the groove would be a ridge on the glue-mold.

Unlike wine, once spirits like whiskey (including single malt scotches) or brandy (cognac, armagnac) are
put in the bottle, they change very little from that point on. All the important aging...

Going in a very different style direction from the rest of this thread, I've always liked what
Steve Howe could do with a pedal steel.

I love that one. I've had it up on the wall in my office for a couple years now.

+1 on avoiding rinky dink hoods, like the kind you usually see at lowes, home depot, etc.
We got a Five Star rangetop (4 burners with a central griddle) and the Five Star hood that

I counted 15 clocks that needed to be reset the other night, and
there are several more that change themselves.

I think this is an audio engineering myth.
It only makes sense if the residual inductance (of the smaller capacitor) per uf is less than that

Thinking Plague - Decline and Fall

On second thought, I think it sounds better the other way around,

First, get a really good left one, then choosing the right speaker will be very easy.
