Have a safe journey, I enjoyed your short stay here.

Thanks for showing me a different way to look (and listen!) at things!


You're welcome. Thanks for giving me some encouragement to carry the
torch. The next time you order a pizza and it comes with one of those
tripod thingies, you'll remember me...


Red-faced disclosu I tried what you're pleased to call a
tweak.
Redfaced because it shames me that I bothered. after spending my
professional life giving wide berth to medical and nonmedical quackery
("functional hypoglycemia", "kissing disease", "fibrositis", "chronic
fatigue"
and such) I decided to try a quack remedy from another area.
I got it all: five pinholes, picture of my beloved dead Siamese,
aspirin tablet
(actually ASA- I think Bayer made enough money out of it already).
Since all my speakers are dipoles (no boxes) I had to compromise
and
put the lock, stock and barrel under the wires from the interface to
the ELS
panels. To take no chances I put the third tweak next to the
inputs/outputs
on the Xover box.
Result: no difference
I got my wife. I told her to report any difference and told
her nothing
else. After a
few minutes I put the tweaks in. She listened again.: not much
difference,
maybe a little worse, she said.
Should I buy box-speakers?
Another disclosu huge negative bias. As you say my mind
is
not ready. Not for your tweak, not for astrology, not for 89,9% of
codings in the psychiatric compendium of diagnoses, not for telepathy,
not for a host of other things.
I sincerely admire your incredible energy, your verbal
talents
and I think you write well, amusingly and inventively. Are you a pro?
You could easily be. Many worse writers fill the newspapers.
I regret that you managed to pervert a supposedly audio
forum
although you're not the only one abusing the rec. audio. name.
Have a good journey to Venus. Something tells me you'll
be back.
