I have found out why new cables and tweaks actually work!

I should have mentioned that the R squared value of correlation is 0.92 with a p value of < 0.02 that these experiments resulted from random chance.

I think he should go straight to Daredevil.  I mean, sure blindfolds may enhance your sense of hearing, but fear of death has a magic all it's own. 🤣

@moto_man Well I use an ear wax syringe and man, you are so right.

PS - @fuuzztone, you’ve attacked several of my threads VERY MUCH in public, why on earth do you think I should PM you to reply? Why should you get the benefit of a private criticism when you never extended that courtesy to me?

As far as I can tell you are upset this thread isn't specifically for you? Right?

Well your refund check is in the mail.  Go stand outside and wait for it.

I am bored with this thread because it is time wasting to me.

Good progress, @Fuzztone so if you are bored and this thread is a waste of your time, why on earth are you here, at all? Is it too hard for you to just move along, without saying anything at all?

It’s not as if the existence of this thread, or any other thread I start prevents you from moving right along to another.

ES try PMing if you really want answers instead of public comments to attack.

You were the one who made several public comments which were disparaging, you should explain yourself very much in public. Remember that part where you said we weren’t sticking to reality? That was a really nice thing to say.

Just now you said it was boring. OK... and what? So it’s boring to you. Did you pay for it? Did you do something to make this site better or less boring? No you did not. Why should I talk to you in private about your are unable to behaving like an adult and move onto threads you DO like ?

@fuzztone  In case I'm not being clear enough, I'm trying to figure out why your passive aggressive commentary has continued this long.  I assume you are an adult, right? 

I challenge you to talk like one.  "I am uncomfortable with this thread because X  and wish it was more like Y because Z."

Try it out.

I’m not here to "start a conversation"

That’s what Reddit is for.

@Fuzztone In that case, don't start conversations.  No one is forcing you to.

What exactly is your problem if I am? You can be here for what you want while I and all the participants who join in the conversations I start, are here to start conversations. That’s how the internet works.

What exactly is your problem with letting others enjoy this site?

There’s a name for people who interrupt others who are having a good time, for no good reason but I can’t place my finger on it...

I’m particularly curious why you think your vision of what this site should be for is more important than mine, or that of the people who are happy to participate. Did you pay extra?

Yawn: we started with a Swiffer and end up in senseless discussion about fuses and powercables?

You must be new on Audiogon. 

@clearthinker  After decades of listening, and hearing how audiophiles and non-audiophiles perceive sound I have my own theory which I do not need others to ascribe to:

• Amps and speakers are more sensitive to cable impedance than we normally think but not by a lot.

IMO you should never perform such an undertaking unless you are a qualified tech in the filed of cleaning fluids, and have a degree in this.

I used to work for the DoD making cleaning fluids for submarines to make them extra stealthy. The secret is dolphin spit. Turns out their spit causes a hydrophobic electrical charge to build on their noses which repels water and makes it easier for them to glide through the water.

Trouble is, we can only gather it while they sleep.

@clearthinker honestly i thought my system sounded better without the dust bunnies. 🤣

when it comes to cables, I know they can make a difference, but I doubt very much most are worth the retail.  It was also enlightening to me how people who arent drinking the kool aid can hear a difference and still make radically different choices.

Hey galvarado, I actually did my own single-blind test with music lovers who were audiophiles.  One pair of speaker cable was Mogami soundrunner, and the other I believe was one of the Wireworld Eclipse models.

The interesting thing was. without prompting, we heard the same changes, but the prefernce was markedly different.

Wireworld was darker and had better imaging.  Since I paid the most money for it I preferred it! :)  My neighbors prefered the brighter, faster sound of the Mogamis.

Tonally we all heard exactly the same thing.  My neighbors did not hear the changes in imaging until I asked them to listen for it.  They agreed with which imaged better, but really wouldn't give up on the better mid-treble output.

Maybe because of that all my speaker cables now are made from Mogami. :D

@fuzztone

I have no use for "starting a conversation" here.

So what exactly is your problem if I do?

Real life is actually better for that. You really should try it

How is what I do or don’t do any of your business? And what makes you feel like you know anything about real life better than anyone else, because if you think you do I have many many questions of how you got that idea in your head.

I’m here for sharing experiences and learning. I don’t know it all yet. If I make a post it is to share observations, only.

Really? Because most of what I see you do is post shade.

It’s called starting a conversation, @Fuzztone

I do that but hopefully in meanignful and humorous ways that add to the otherwise droll litany of shopping choices and technology. I like those too, but I do think that this site benefits from not having just such a mindset.

Also, i do try to be honest, even if sarcastic. :)

I want to remind you and others, make Audiogon yours by starting the conversations you'd like to see. 

I think we need to follow up on the Mythbusters episode where they proved that golf ball like dimples on a car reduced drag. 

the Axe body spray was a dead giveaway and mildly offensive since I use their product each and every day. 

If you use the peach scent you will smell like candy.

I think we should experiment by not cleaning a thing for two years and then hear what happens when we do. 😁
