Questionable Tweak

D-K 😁

Whatever the auditory case may be, it doesn't hurt to clean the air every now & then!

I moved my floorstander HEPA filter into my living/listening room (not for improved audio reasons) and heard popping noises coming from the speakers. I was playing CDs and as long as the device was in the listening area, I heard the popping sound. There was no weird sound when  the filter was behind the speakers.

I tried an ionization based portable air filter in the 80's and found that it quickly caused a thin buildup of difficult to remove residue on everything in the room (including the walls/ceiling/windows). 

After going through a few gallons of TSP I gave it away.

We have open windows whenever the temp's drop to 70, or below.

Being located 11 miles from the ocean (West Hollywood) there is also a nice subdued marine layer most evenings.

This said, what's emptied out of the vacuum canister is a bit frightening.

The power of the internet.

Anything is possible for audiophools.

Rodney Bingenheimer turned me onto the cat fur/dander tweak in the late 70’s, while we were dining at Danny’s Oki Dog (no public Internet then).

He said it made his Rogers Sound Lab 3600’s sound like Tympani 1B’s.
