Results from Beta Testers of New Formulas

Paul,

I got my samples today, many thanks again. I fired up the system to do a little pre-cleaning warm-up listening, and damned if there isn't a blown channel in my Audio Note! Changed all the tubes, but no joy. So, I had to reconfigure everything using a Belles 150a I have lying around. I'm just about done setting the electronics back up, so I should be doing some serious listening over the next few days. I think I'll leave the amp & that thing that plays the little silver things running overnight to get the amp up to speed. I really need to get reaquainted with the SS amp before I can do any real world comparisons. I'm even going to give up my afternoon golf tomorrow!

Slipknot,

Once again you've gotten it right! But I figure if all of those guys mentioned in that other post were there when "it" was recorded, I need something to "equalize" the differences in their ears. Thanks God I'm having tube amp problems at this time. That way, there is one less thing to screw up the sound of Paul's formula! I seriously hope I can enjoy the non-live music.

Remember all, blanket conclusions are like assholes: We all are, I mean have, one, usually.

Paul,

I received your products yesterday and will try to set some time aside today for testing. I'm looking forward to this exercise as I have two problematic albums I would like to make more listenable.

Rauliruegas-I have not, nor would I ever allow Wilson, Faulkner, Harley & Atkinson to make any audio decisions for me. Sounds way too much like a law firm. Besides, I've got some tubes and my own ears to go by. Just take your odd order harmonics and hum them to yourself all day long.

Dear Slipknotl: "....what the recording is SUPPOSED to sound like ?, this is the point: the testers only can suppose but they don't really know about: only the people that were at the recording sessions knows about it.
"....that the testers are unqualified ?, you told it I never mentioned about it.
"..........the quality of the playback system,....?", again you told it I never mention it.
I ask: this formula is an equalizer or it really works?.
Yes, you don't understand my point. I hope you can do it in a near future. ( Don't be angry for something that you can't understand ). Be happy.
Best regards and enjoy the music.
Raul.

Dear Lugnut: Like Slipknotl, you don't understand anything about.
You have to be more " open mind ": it is the only way to learn in every day life.
Best regards and enjoy the music.
Raul.

Raul,

I apologize if I offended you BUT you were out of line with your tube comment, IMO. I was really jokingly referring to the situation at hand with my law firm comment. I would like you to understand that I do consider myself having an open mind. Otherwise, I wouldn't be trying Paul's potential product. I fail to see how cleaning a record could be equalizing such. Some products stand in the way of the information and others let allow it to come through. I'll post my findings in an honest fashion. However, I will not insult Paul in the way I do it. I'll probably piss off a lot of people with the following comment but here goes. I get tired of attacks for no good reason. While I'm a current user of RRL products and have no ill will toward any manufacturer of record cleaning products I've not been convinced that the base water is as good as they say. Bottom line is, I don't care. If it sounds better, I'm an owner. Maybe this isn't an anal enough thought process for the superior audiophile but it has served me well for the over 35 years I've been in this hobby. Why don't we just see what the thoughts of the testers are while this thread evolves? Or, is the point of being an Audiogon member just to stir the shit? Sometimes I feel like I'd like to crawl through my DSL line just to see how big some of you audio bullies really are.
