Dweller, this essay may enlighten you and maybe even allow you to "Freak out" (safely) yourself: http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Mezzanine/7206/freakout.htmlHowever, the beauty of art is its ability to be interpreted by the individual any way...

It seems I'm having a hard time getting through the moderators. I see all kinds of profanity on this forum, and yet when I include some "tasteful relevant profanity" (LOL) it gets my post rejected. Here goes again:Another correction: Zappa didn't ...

Dweller, your assertion is ridiculous. There is nothing in "Freak Out" that promotes substance abuse. The message was individualism and he promoted thinking for oneself and rejecting gurus, trends and fake American "culture." Zappa didn't miss an ...

A correction: Zappa didn't have any college degree"If you want to get laid, go to college, but if you want an education, go to the library.”"You get nothing with your college degree."(a true zen saying: nothing is what I want. the results of a hig... 
Caribbean Music Recommendations
Monty Alexander, Jamboree and Ivory and Steel (on one CD) 
O.K. Fess Up. Come Clean. Sing Like A Canary.
I've let mine go round many times for up to an hour or more and it's never done any damage. Why should it? It's just a quiet groove with a lead-in. What am I missing here? My cartridge is a Talisman Sapphire. However the odd record does have a "sp... 
Tinnitus - do you have ringing in the ears?
Pbb, to ridicule natural medicine is about as ridiculous an argument as anyone could make. How do you think you got here? It wasn't because we had hyper purified or synthetic medications to cure all your ancestors' ills. Most modern drugs that are... 
Tinnitus - do you have ringing in the ears?
Design_1, I urge you to see a naturopath for your sinus infection. I had one so bad that I wanted to die. It was like my head was in a vice. After a week, I couldn't take it anymore and saw a naturopath for the first time in my life after being di... 
How many capacitors should I use and why?
There's no advantage to using multiple capacitors, unlike in a power supply where it could lead to faster discharge times. Bypass capacitors are not used in crossovers; their purpose is to reduce noise that is typically of a much different frequen... 
Amp Recommendations for Acoustat 1+1s
I'm using a YBA DT on Acoustat 3s and it works extremely well. I used to use PS Model 2 Blocks in mono and they literally caught fire when I drove them hard. The Acoustats draw a lot of current and the YBA is up to the task without any hint of ima... 
Turntable To PC Audio Connection To Make CD's
If you plug it into a phono-input, it will be equalized a second time to the RIAA specifications and is guaranteed to be horribly distorted, which is definitely not what you want. Assuming your turntable's built-in preamp is properly designed, wha... 
need some suggestions for Acoustics Blues
Morgan Davis, "Blues Medicine" is great. 
A serious blow to Canadian audiophiles, must read
Thsalmon: Below are some excerpts from the first six of your "references" that purport to prove your point and they are hardly convincing. Each study is either irrelevant or inconclusive. Also, It seems that many of these studies don't discriminat... 
A serious blow to Canadian audiophiles, must read
Thsalmon, could you please provide references to these studies that have "shown quite convincingly to result in high rates of lung cancer and chronic cognitive problems"?I believe you are mistaken. 
To couple or decouple? That is the question.
I don't think I've ever made a better improvement in my system's sound than placing my Oracle Delphi Mk.2 on a fishing line suspended slab of acrylic. The suspension even worked more precisely and it now maintains almost perfect vertical motion wh...
