"Soundhasprioity" has squandered his trust with me, but I am still
curious
as to the origin of the "aspirin tweak", which seems to involve placing
an
aspirin on top of a speaker cabinet.

When was this first mentioned?
Does anyone have any idea as to who the author was?
Was the tweak first offered in good faith, or as a deliberate intent to
create an "urban legend" ?


You probably need an aspirin weighing at least 2 lbs, and ionized
somehow
so it starts to emit small amounts of benzene, which, when you inhale in
small amounts, might make you dizzy.


I tend to agree. However, urban legends, and rumors in general, are
interesting. I'm curious about the origin. I seem to dimly recall that it
was originally given as an example of a ridiculous tweak; one that could
not
possibly work.


When soldering litz wire, it's recommended to keep the wire attached
to an aspirin (must be Bayer!) .

NoNoNo... it must be salicylic acid ... aspirin is only converted to
pain reliever in the intestine... but salicylic acid is the real pain
killer and it can act as mild acid flux. .
Wart remover will do in a pinch.

So Sound.... you ever put salicylic acid on your tweeters?
Pain free is fatigue free.

Aspirin= proprietary name given by Bayer to salicylic acid.
Aspirin=salicylic acid.
NonBayer aspirin= salicylic acid (Bayer's patent expired).
"Wart remover"= salicylic acid= aspirin
And now for a physiology lesson from the audio expert ScottW:
"aspirin is only converted to
pain reliever in the intestine... but salicylic acid is the real pain
killer and it can act as mild acid flux."
Can't find anything about "mild acid flux" in
biochemistry
textbooks. Must be something from the short course of science for
aspiring ambulance chasers.
All this science would surely leave the jury speechless.
