Nicotine reidue on drivers
George, I was not disputing what you observed. In fact what you observed is what would happen if the Beryllium was vapor deposited onto an untreated or poorly treated polypropylene surface. I was just commenting on the need to introduce reactive b... 
REF reference model 3
$700 to $1000 is a reasonable price for the Reference Model 3. They are a fantastic speaker, one of the best made by KEF with the old school KEF sound. They never had a lot of press, so people are not aware of how good they are. I currently have t... 
Nicotine reidue on drivers
I forgot to add, vapor deposited Beryllium would never adhere to polypropylene without a surface treatment. Typically we would use an oxygen plasma treatment of the polypropylene before vapor deposition of a metal such as Beryllium.

Giving up on Itunes! Alternatives? I want to run my hardrive with a dedicated tablet.
I have been using iTunes for over 10 years and never had anything get scrambled, changed, or modified unless I did it myself. I have hundreds of CDs that I ripped 10 years ago and they are still the same as the day I ripped them. I never have to d... 
Giving up on Itunes! Alternatives? I want to run my hardrive with a dedicated tablet.
I have looked at the iTunes music file at the finder level many times and my files are all well organized. My album structure is not scrambled but is in alphabetical order under the artist name. If you have an album with multiple artists, than the...

Network Transport vs. CD Transport
@mahler123I don't understand why you have crashes. You probably need to do a clean install of the OS and associated applications. I initially used an iMac and a MacBook Pro to wirelessly stream my lossless ripped CDs for over 7 years and switched ...

The Apple TV should stream your digital files. I stream my lossless ripped Cds from a Mac Mini to two 3rd generation Apple TVs and use the optical outputs into stand alone DACs. It works perfectly.Does the LED light turn on when you access your Ap... 
Emotiva not so good
The only Emotiva gear that I have are their DACs. I currently have 3 Emotiva XDA-2 DACs in 3 different systems. I have been using them for over 5 years. They have a rich, detailed, engaging presentation in my systems. Over the years, I have tried ... 
Dried up Ferrofluid?
As the ferrofluid dries up, the speaker’s high end becomes dull and loses some sparkle. It may not be evident unless one compares it to a speaker with fresh ferrofluid. Typically ferrofluid lasts about 15 to 20 years with normal use. KEF recommend...

Acoustic Suspension sound in 2020?
If you like the East Coast Sound of acoustic suspension speakers of the 60s and 70s, I would suggest you look for a good condition vintage pair of the AR, KLH, or Advent speakers that you mentioned. I am not aware of any modern speakers that repli...
