Please give me a reference to such a demonstration. With all respect, I can easily find people who will attest to an audible improvement by using little pyramids to keep speaker wires suspended above the floor. Fran |

"With all respect, I can easily find people who will attest to an audible improvement by using little pyramids to keep speaker wires suspended above the floor. "
You hit the nail on the head Fran, I remember a friend telling me to put a square of silver foil between the tweeter and midrange speakers, "it would improve the high notes" I could never tell the difference or see why that should work. My wife tells me that there are many people who enjoy "tinkering" with settings and equipment, which is also a valid point, I guess each person will find something that gives them pleasure and who am I to question that.

Re: Sony PCM D50: Repair or replace
Yes, like putting a blue ink stripe around a CD would improve the quality. Many, many instances of 'snake oil' audio products.. most of which cost exhortation amounts of $$.

Re: Sony PCM D50: Repair or replace
People have no idea what they're buying. Consider all the 2-way computer speaker systems that have a pair of main speakers and one "subwoofer." I always thought that you needed a woofer first, then the subwoofer covered frequencies below that. But nobody seems to question having a "sub" without first having a woofer.
Better yet, just put some powerful-sounding word in front of the product, like "Monster," and it will make everything sound 4.37dB better... IMHO of course. ;-) |

Re: Sony PCM D50: Repair or replace
I bought the Denecke PS-1A XLR power supply to feed xlr mics into my Sony PCM-D50.
