| Sneaky new internet tax pushing through fast Its not the tax itself, but the administrative burden to comply. A brick and mortar retailer has only one taxing entity. Online retailers will be liable to pay tax to 45 different states all with different taxable requirements. The cost of admini... | |
| Sneaky new internet tax pushing through fast Like all legislation it's all about the implementation and the burden it creates on small business. Poorly crafted legislation can/does/has, forced small businesses to close because of the cost to comply. Lately this has happened in virtually ever... | |

| TW Raven Owners: Set Up Questions TW suggests slate for a platform, which can be seen in photo's on TW's web site. I don't think granite is the best material to use, although slate may not be the best either. I am in the process of trying different platforms as well. I have constr... | |
| Idol fans weigh in The show is an entrepreneurial and capitalistic (not a dirty word) marvel and a lesson for all. Simon Cowell is a genius. As a record promoter he was constantly looking for new talent to sign and promote, which was a drag. So he created a show, ba... | |
| At What Point is the Needle Damaging Records? That's quite a few hours, I agree you may need a replacement. As mentioned check your set-up and try this cheap method to clean it; http://www.high-endaudio.com/Magic.html | |
| What is “warmth” and how do you get it? Learsfool you wrote; "As I have tried to explain, the actual overtones do NOT change"....and; "Al, you are probably correct about the amplitude of them (overtones) changing". If they change amplitude, they change the sound and waveform, change is ... | |
| What is “warmth” and how do you get it? Onhwy61, Yes, audiophiles used the term 'warmth' before the 'advent' of digital. :) | |
| What is “warmth” and how do you get it? Almarg, Thank you for your explanation. I am in full agreement. By changing overtones you change the shape of the wave and the resulting sound. The most basic example is the sine wave and square wave at the same frequency.As the OP indicated there... | |
| What is “warmth” and how do you get it? Leersfool, I wrote; “However, live music is not just primary frequencies but a combination of lots of different overtone frequencies that create harmonic structure, warmth, tone, and timbre." You repeated this as; “There are a couple of problems w... | |
| What is “warmth” and how do you get it? Hi Learsfool,That was a great post because it shows how ones perspective in approaching sound affects their perception of it. I have a friend who was a professional musician for years and is now a music teacher in a public school system. He is not... | |
| What is “warmth” and how do you get it? Leersfool, yes, the use of terminology is fascinating. Both Bryon and I are in agreement that warmth does have to do with frequency response and harmonic structure as in ‘warm tone’. Although ambient information or ‘air’ is usually a description o... | |
| What is “warmth” and how do you get it? Bryon, warmth is additive property and it is also subtractive and is a component of a neutral sound. An analogy using the most common meaning for the word warmth would be to take your ideal room temperature, say 70 degrees. This would be your 'neu... | |
| What is “warmth” and how do you get it? Definitions will only get you in the ball park. Its about communicating effectively. This is the difference between a good equipment reviewer and a lesser one. Audiophile terms help, but the good reviewer gives you a better sense of the sound thro... | |
| What is “warmth” and how do you get it? Bryon, exactly. It’s like using the word ‘blue’ to describe a color. It only gets you in the ball park unless you describe the hue, intensity (value), contrast, gradation etc. in known terms. In my experiences warmth is relative and is dependent o... |
