If it involved using peanut butter to act as a damper on the drivers don't tell Mike. We now know he has a secret passion for the stuff and it will end in tears!  |

When we saw Adam Key (surgeon turned comedian) last week, he regaled us about a woman who used peanut butter as a lubricant. And she was allergic to peanuts  |

I'm probably over cautious doing things to the system. Too important to break
Only one thing to do with peanut butter : Eat it

Just with a spoon or is toast involved?! Anything ! Usually on a Tesco Sesame and Poppy Seed biscuit, or on brown toast or a scoop with whatever is to hand |

All I done was the theory yet again, it's me that's the problem just about everyone's hifi including my valve setup sounds bright to me ,and yes I suffer with mild tinnitus but just about everyone tell me that it's not bright sounding so it has to be me .
And the brightness was there years before the tinnitus

Their "Seeded Wholemeal" is gorgeous toasted with peanut butter. Their "Soya and Lindseed" is rather nice too. |

...back to Tim. Have you always heard systems as sounding brighter than other people? You could, of course, compensate in the crossover but it would end up sounding dull to everyone else.

Hi Martin I have thought about modifying the crossover but it's beyond my experience level and beside that it's ok when I want to listen to rock music and the like and when I come to listening to good vocal's I use me Fostex t50rp m3 headphones that has a flat response it sounds wonderful for the price bracket it's in so I have found a way around it of sorts.I've even found electrostatics bright and they where the top of the line Martin Logan's

Get a graphic equaliser and adjust the sound to how you like it.
I know that will seem like heresy and the purists will shoot me, but if it makes it sound good to you then job done!
