Minetinkit diyAudio's web server could go a good round of Peter Belt's "treatments" - its response times are sick, mighty sick this morning; a good spring clean or solid kick in the unmentionables might do some good ...
See Frank, all that dirt and not one digit in sight, clear as mud in medium definition.
Where is the problem?

Thats the problem Frank. It's still late evening the previous day here, your getting ahead of yourself backwards and upside down at the same time.
It must be your input, davym - it's recovered beautifully, running slick as, at the moment ...
Something like this then, perhaps ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0NJXoWATcM
Not a good example Frank, thats just the one dirty digit. Do you mean the imagination propelling it?
Problem is, one "dirty digit" is enough to do the damage - a tiny bit of audio dirt can go a looooong way, in mucking up the sound - the "imagination" latches on to it, and can't put it aside - it's a little itch that just sits there, constantly, and wears one down. End result: listener fatigue, the "why am I wasting my life listening to this?!" factor ...
Yeah, it's easy for some to "believe" almost anything if enough money is changing hands.

That site should be closed down for abusing the good name Schiller to perpetuate blatant lies.
There was a conference in '39 during which some tried to standardize A to 440Hz. However those who promoted 440Hz were the american delegation.
Originally the americans wanted 439Hz but in the run up to the conference they were informed by their own people that 439Hz, being a prime number, is extremely difficult to generate electrically so they settled for 440Hz.
440Hz itself was never promoted by germans, nazi or or not, and all german orchestras stuck to A443Hz or 442Hz.
To the present day only british and the lesser US orchestras use 440Hz.

Can anywone spot where they have seen this before? At least no claims of audible improvement.

Protects against wrinkles, I wonder if they make it for people?
This reminds me of a time in a former job when a remote office was having external connectivity issues. We sent in a local consultant to check things out, and he said that he found an ethernet cable from one of the NIC's in the proxy box was caught under a table leg, so he moved the cable and everything worked. His theory was that the table leg was "pinching" the cable and causing reflections, though of course he didn't check for collisions or framing errors.
That didn't sound likely to me, but everything was working so I wasn't going to complain. A few months later I was in that office, and looked at the machine (which that consultant had built). The NIC was not secured with a screw, and it was barely in its PCI slot. Moving the machine or the cable would cause it to lose and/or make contact, which I verified after business hours. I put in a screw and we never had that problem again.
See? IT has snake-oil salesmen too!

I wanna poster....
Actually to day I thought the best way of removing digital dirt would be to wash my CD's before playing, after testing many combinations of cleaners I found that using Methylene chloride did remove all digital dirt...
This mod should be carried out at your own stupidity (by the way) and always test all solvents on a small patch first to ensure compatibility...
