triage nurse does it at my doctors, but they usually put you on a course of drops first to soften the wax build up

I can't make my mind up whether i'm in awe that you're doing all this to prove...well i'm not sure what, or whether I'm more like dude, the summer's here and it'll be snowing in 16 weeks, go outside and make some memories with your family and kids and quit measuring speaker cables lol.

The crux of your question is does a balance control operate by delivering more power to the louder channel. The answer is no it doesn't, the opposite happens. Turn the balance anticlockwise and the power to the right speaker progressively reduces, and vica versa.

I only once raised the subject of three-ways with Mrs Fubar, the look I received in return was enough to warn me never to raise the subject again *sad*

Please congratulate your floorstanders on our behalf. They grow up fast. Within a year or two you'll be like aaaaww I remember when you were just a wee 4" shelf-mount with a single driver, and now look at you, big grown up two-way ready for your first speaker stand.

Probably not a conscious invitation by the amp manufacturer, unless they had already planned to market a headphone amp in advance. But definitely just an excuse to shave a few pence off the build price of the amp and tell us it's all about minimising unnecessary frills to improve sound quality...

Great work. I'm sure you also stressed the importance of getting the basics right in his room, such as speaker placement and acoustic treatment. When you're using digital EQ to correct the FR at such fine granularity, it's then fairly easy to unintentionally deviate the results massively, even...

Title of this should really read 'please stop my neighbours reporting me to the police for being a nuisance' lol

Excellent. Check out Doug K's post on the previous page, his suggestion in post #14 is pretty much spot on. I'm sure you'll get much better results than with tap water and soap.

Other way round for me. Great turntables demand great engineering, which costs a lot for products which sell in penny numbers (though I fully agree with Vlad that no engineering on this earth can justify a tonearm costing the price of a family car). Electronics on the other hand are different...

Win XP for me :-) But it can't run modern browsers and many modern apps. I don't know whether that's a genuine limitation of the OS, or more a conspiracy to make you upgrade. Those who know more than me tell me Win XP isn't nearly as secure and safe as modern OS's, but surely fixing that (or...

They do, unfortunately, but I'm not sure why you couldn't plainly see that anyone suggesting tap water and soap is one sandwich short of a picnic. You washed your record with a solution laced with undesirable chemicals such as fluoriide, chlorine (to discourage bacteria growth), salts, and...

Yeah I told him that several posts up, but he's convinced now that all wet cleaning is the work of the devil. Hopefully he'll see sense and have a go again, this time the correct way.
