Everything Bach ever wrote
I have the greatest respect for Bach, even on a bad day! Some of his sons weren't too shabby either. A chip off the old Bach? Sorry. 
Joan Baez - Do I just not get it?
Nsgarch,I'm really not too sure about the changes. My point was that the discussion somehow turned to politics instead of music. No problem here about liking or disliking Joan Baez or trying out some of her music. Good discussion material. I guess... 
Joan Baez - Do I just not get it?
Blah, blah, blah. Somebody doesn't like Joan Baez. No problem, to each his own, turns into a protracted discussion about the 60s. Don't forget there were people with flat tops in the 60s, definitely a lot more than long hairs. There was good music...

CD Tweaks and Longterm Damage
According to my understanding Shine Ola is only a cleaner and not a "treatment". That is, it claims nothing more than effective cleaning of residues. Other "treatments" claim to go beyond this function and perhaps they do, I don't know. But if a "...

A trick with Scotch Whisky
Mimberman,Had a bottle of 25 Talisker. UNBELIEVABLE!. Unfortunately, it's all gone. Read: Sad Lament!As for the original post: I find the thought of liquid smoke extremely distasteful and nasty. You should be ashamed of yourself. Now go stand in t... 
Why are CDs so hard to open?
If you use the Goo-Gone, do it outside. That's some nasty stuff. I wouldn't want little kids breathing it. It does work though. If some residue remains on the plastic try picking it off with a piece of the tape you've already removed. Usually work... 
Avalon Eidolon has marks on midrange speaker
Eugene,I hope it's not catchy! I don't think there's a vaccine available for my speakers. 
Where can I get Advent Large Models rebuilt?
If I were you I'd get 2 refoam kits. The foam on these woofers is very delicate. Back in the day I used to blow these regularly. 
Animal damage to system
Back in an earlier life I had 4 stacked Advents. My cat at the time, Tony, thought the grillcovers made great scratching posts. One time I absent mindedly left the the covers off and he decided the woofers felt pretty good on his claws. Those woof... 
Audiophiles DO NOT USE DHL-READ MY NIGHTMARE
We're paying additional money so they won't loose our stuff? Still sounds like an huge scam to me.
