Re: The Audiophoolery Thread.
Thanks for the replies, some very amusing!
It is convenient that the best construction for an amplifier is haphazard construction, various wiring soldered and joined at random with different thicknesses. Parts glued or cemented in and the whole thing glued together with brown glue etc is also the fastest and cheapest way to sling something together..!
On that principle the Amstrad "Superwide " Telly should have sounded fantastic and given a better picture than a B&O.?!
I now realise that I ruined it by cleaning away the old brown glue and using a small smear of glue to stick it back together so none squidged out around the edges as original.
I suppose the excess glue around the joins acted as an acoustic buffer for audio reflex?
Lets see if the owner says the sound has changed when he gets it back...
To Quote Flanders and Swann... "You bought it in a shop?" "What a horrible terrible job they fobbed you off with!"
But I never did care for music much ... it's the High Fidelity!
