Funny "MOJO" stuff

[amz-fx]

Let me emphasize that I strongly doubt the existence of audible differences between a fresh carbon zinc and fresh alkaline.

No doubt.  When the battery is mostly depleted, it's capacity to provide power is greatly diminished so the useful range of a dying battery is fairly small and  quickly lost especially if the circuit draws much current.

While working on better pedal ideas I was thinkin of "hotrodding" my practice/pedal testing amp, which is bit boring. I know this forum is not about building amps, but anyway modding and customising amps and making small practice amps seems to be quite popular with members of this forum. Anyway I wanted to share my idea, which makes your amp look really expensive and "vintage", gives it a touch of finishing that is familiar with most sought-after and respected vintage amps. You can do it on your kitchen table, and no special tools are required to make your 29$ speaker look just like a 290$ speaker. A diy "bell cover" as used on most expensive alnico speakers, from free junk parts and with just a can-opener and perhaps some spray paint, that´s what I did, cost 0$...

I think those "bell covers" are sold as spare part or add-on but they cost more than 20 reagans + shipping, but I don´t know if they are available for 8" speakers. I discovered that used small "camping-gas" butane container fits like a glove on my 8" speaker magnet. Some painting (I think I´ll make it blue) and reliable fixing is yet undone, but I posted few pics about how it looks now.

"Golden Ear Chip"

[tommy.genes]

Heh, heh...

As the one who introduced that concept to this forum (in the Lounge), I feel the need to defend myself.

I was not thinking that I could drop this chip into a Hammond box and have it sound just like an Eden bass amp or a Neve console or anything else. In fact, I was think more of abusing it than anything. I was thinking of trying to emulate - using that term loosely - the interaction between a pedal and an amp's front-end, all within the pedal itself.

So far the official response from Eden is that they "don't like to tell..." what the chip is, and in a lot of ways, I can't say that I blame them.

has the PowerChord been mentioned, yet?

Oh boy, those reviews are BRILLIANT!!!

The Audience powerChord gives the presentation a sense of dynamic drive and rhythmic pace that is perfect, not overdone or overpowered.

I was shocked... Backgrounds are blacker. Highs are sweeter.  Bass lines are better defined. Vocals have great tone without heavy colorations. Most importantly, my system was more musical.

And I thought 4558-o-philia was wierd.

I've seen those, or at least similar "audiophile" power cords before. $366 for a 1 foot cord? Mojo or not, what could they possibly put in those things that would cost that much? Do they hand-pull each strand of copper?

But the main thought I had: does this mean you also have to install audiophile-grade wiring from the outlet back to the main panel? Does the panel itself have to be a special unit? And do you then have to arrange for a special higher-grade service from your electric company? Or do you just have to install an industrial-grade power conditioner with supplemental generator for the whole house because the utility company just can not be trusted to deliver the audiophile experience that you deserve?

yes, IIRC, there already has been talk about the need of your own (insert silver/gold/oxygen-plated/enhanced, etc., here...) powerplant,
in case you don`t wanna work on battery
