They could do a jazz infused Supremes session. At the tempos that Patricia Barber and Diana Krall favour, you certainly can't hurry love:)  
Has anyone tried the new Synergistic Research UEF Performance Enhancer - Ethernet Filter?
@tatyana69  Entreq's grounding boxes have a completely different function to these RJ45 plugs. The Synergistic Galileo box has a grounding function but it is completely different in its design to the Entreq system.  
Preamp with two volume controls?
As many of the replies so far indicate, the general purpose of equipping a preamp with two volume controls is to negate the requirement for a balance control and not to provide control over two different outputs. To achieve the latter, assuming t... 
life span/failure rate of filter capacitors?
It's  a lottery, but 20 years is good going. That said, I have a pair of Meridian active speakers in my garage that are still working 35 years on. It kind of depends on whether you believe in preventative maintenance or are a kind of fix it when i... 
Experiences with the Degritter RCM
The Degritter is a superb machine - beautifully designed, simple to use and effective. The improvement in sonic quality (not just noise reduction) is significant - in my view - easily worth the money relative to what else you could buy by way of s... 
Pass Labs Speaker Choices
XP32 Pre / XP27 Phonostage with a pair of XA 60.8 monos with Wilson Maxx 2s. Very satisfying to listen to - tonally very well balanced and musically engaging.

Replacing tweeter in Harbeth SHL5 Plus
arafiq - you're welcome. Only ever move the connector side to side laterally - never twist it. At least you are replacing the tweeter so it's a good opportunity to practice! Best of luck.  
Perception and Watts: Doubling of power
We can easily distinguish changes in loudness but human beings are not SPL meters - our sensory system doesn't work that way in the sense of being able to calibrate what we hear in dB - cue the eleven is one louder sketch in Spinal Tap. As regard... 
When were the best tube amps made?
The best tube amps are being made today. Unfortunately, with the exception of the best current 300Bs, the best tubes aren't. But from, say, the 1950s to the current day, the pace of improvement in SS amp technology has radically outstripped tube t... 
Vinyl record cleaning
I'd rather wash my dog in the dishwasher than my records. Well - NOT - but you get my drift...  
Replacing tweeter in Harbeth SHL5 Plus
Harbeth usually use spade connectors. It will be totally obvious to you when a connector is used versus a soldered joint. But as I say, and from what you have reported, it's a spade connector. The key to removing those connectors is that you need ... 
I can't believe this.
@OP It it's anything, it's extortion. Bribery is you volunteering to pay someone to do something for you. Extortion is someone looking for a payment from you to get them to do something on your behalf.  
I have an idea for an audio product what should I do?
@OP What is your background in terms of business/technology?    
If there was only ONE album/cd/release you can listen to, over and over.............
I was considering the Tony Bennett and Bill Evans album but, rightly, it's already been referenced. So I'll plump for the second (1981) recording of the Goldberg Variations by Glenn Gould.
