    Wiper blade replacements

    Who knows, there are so many factors with wipers and windshields. I am shocked at the thin clear road oil-pollution coating on my cars sometimes. And few people actually really clean the live edge of wiper blades. And with hidden wiper blades, it can be real pain. You should get a black...

    Has anyone replaced tires on Lucid Air?

    I am going to sound like a broken record. Correct or even higher Tire pressure is crucial on low profile tires. All low profile tires will not survive hitting a man eating pothole. Never have since the journey decades ago from 60 ratio tires to 35 and even less. Fact of life. A blow out...

    Let me add a comment I think you will agree with. I know that sound engineers and audio pros DID give a shit about what they were using. They just were not sucked into buying snake and oil cables and tweeks that were grossly overpriced and often worse performing that much cheaper solutions. 18...

    Mixing 21" Tire Brands?

    First post and a tire complaint without searching the forum. :rolleyes: 21" Michelin are not rated for our car weight. Take the time to read the many threads on the issues with the 21". What you ask has been discussed in excruciating detail. Many here have gone tens of thousands of...

    Wiper blade replacements

    Actually, I think they are great. Have you truly cleaned them? You need to lift them and use a soap or APC solution and a course cloth to get road oil and grime off of them. Scrub the rubber edge. Washed wife's new Audi today and I was surprised at the oil and dirt that came off the blade and...

    I still think it's acceptance, and it's use far far predates AVS. No one really spelled it out as we all too well knew it's import to marketing. It goes back to the early days of Stereophille,Absolute Sound. But, either way, it stands for the same thing: "you are out of your mind if you think...

    It's no joke. There is not a hifi speaker designer in the last 30 years that does not deal with WAF. Well known industry term. Some say WAF came about after the era of the great bookshelf speakers of the 60's and 70's evolved in massive speakers like the Infinity IRS. My wife still asks me...

    Cracking noise while charging

    Jokingly, it sounds like the runners on an old rocking chair. Molded heavy duty plastic supports, if not properly torqued or broken, will make similar noise - due to vibration or movement. Tell us what they find.

    Cracking noise while charging

    Well, certainly not charging related electrical. The fact that it is cyclical makes me, in my worthless personal opinion, think it's something opening and closing or rotating, that's binding or loose or interfering with something.

    Cracking noise while charging

    That sounds like plastic creaking. It's not normal. Sounds like something could be expanding and the plastic support is creaking. Or a coolant or air valve is moving, with inference. Having just seen one apart, there is a ton of molded plastic in the front end holding everything together...

    @joec , tell us how you really feel? :cool: Why should the absurd expensive snake oil of high end audio be any different from high end autos? $9000 interconnects are just as obscene at $9000 car coatings. PT Barnum was most correct. When I was GC for Genesis Speakers, I would tag along to...

    Cracking noise while charging

    Nope. I saw a disassembled Air in our local shop last week. Entire front end exposed. All the cooling fans have radiators in front of them. And debris noise would not Cycle on and off. Never underestimate the effect of corrosion or loose connections passing high amperage. Unintentional arc...

    Thanks @Bunnylebowski , now I can't get Good Times, Bad Times, out of my head. I remember taking some of my law school loan to buy a Thorens. Wasn't everything mixed for vinyl until the mid to late 80's? And they just dumped those masters onto the first CDs. I ignored CDS until the early...

    Cracking noise while charging

    Noise is never good with HV electricity. CAN YOU ISOLATE the location of the noise? Is it the wall charging equipment? The distribution panel? or the Lucid - and where on the Lucid. WE NEED A LOT MORE INFO. Describe your entire set up, age and condition/ Does it take awhile charging for...

    Could I tell you stories to prove your point.!!!! I have never heard your quote but its spot on. Some audiophiles were also great lovers of music. I count Arnie Nudell, of Infinity/Genesis, as one. He and I once sat up all light listening to every CD recording of Carmina Burana - drinking wine...

    Just about to road-trip from Phoenix to Colorado Springs, any advice?

    I was going to suggest the route north from Albuquerque to Taos but they are forcasting 8-12 in the Sangre del Christo mtns. Stay on boring I25.

    No reason why it won't. There are tons of promos out there. Many manufacturers and apparently software companies buy 3 or 6 or 12 month subscriptions in bulk and give them away to their buyers to entice you to buy their DAC or streamer. None that I know of are tied to specific product.
