Have you ever hated the sound of your system one day, and loved it the next?
Last night I went to bed thinking my system was going down the tubes. This morning I loved it.
Last night it sounded painfully bright and unbalanced. This morning, on the same CDs, it sounded full and rich.
Now, I ask you, is it the system or me???
I understand changes in electrical currents from the wall can play a part, but I have an expensive power conditioner.
I was just wondering if this is a typical bugaboo among audiophiles.

shadorne "A simple trick is to buy the same gear that is used by professionals" Yes every hobby has amateurs who do this they think "if only I had the same set of clubs as Tiger Woods" or "if only I had the same piano as Vladamir Horowitz" but of course it doesn't work that way and in the case of audio and Music Reproduction Systems I prefer not to let others' do they're thinking for me. |
gdhal"Appearances can be deceiving. Never judge a book by its cover. Nothing was promoted." You promoted a phony $25,000 USD listening challenge that was revealed to be extortion and a fraud and you then sought my personal information like the famous Nigerean scam. An advance-fee scam is a form of fraud and one of the most common types of confidence trick. The scam typically involves promising the victim a significant share of a large sum of money, in return for a small up-front payment, which the fraudster requires in order to obtain the large sum. If a victim makes the payment, the fraudster either invents a series of further fees for the victim or simply disappears. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), "An advance fee scheme occurs when the victim pays money to someone in anticipation of receiving something of greater value—such as a loan, contract, investment, or gift—and then receives little or nothing in return." [1] There are many variations of this type of scam, including the 419 scam, the Spanish Prisoner scam, the black money scam, Fifo's Fraud and the Detroit-Buffalo scam.[2] The scam has been used with fax and traditional mail, and is now prevalent in online communications like emails. While Nigeria is most often the nation referred to in these scams, they originate in other nations as well. In 2006, 61% of internet criminals were traced to locations in the United States, |
