When it comes to "truth" I've always liked this saying:
I'll defend anyone who searches for the truth but will fight anyone who claims to have found it.

Apparently your comprehension skills are at that level. Tell me, where did you chastise kosst who started this? That, dear dyna, is a toadie.
|
@dynaquest4, again being rather selective in your criticism. If you noticed, I replied in kind. Stop being such a toadie for others.
@kosst, now you're down to the I"m rubber, you're glue school of debate? Your rants don't address what I say, only what the voices in your head say I said. Could it be that you're used to silencing people with a glare or by your barking? That you hate it when someone stands their ground? The overwhelming majority of people here know that cables make a difference and they smartly stay out of these kinds of discussions because of people like you. They probably wonder why I respond as well.
Get used to people standing up to you. It's called life.

kosst, you're just so full of it my friend. The conclusions you arrive at never cease to amaze me. You read what you want and infer what's not implied so you can have that tired old soapbox to stand and scream and your sad little head off.
Someday you're going to make a shrink a rich man. You'd best confront those demons before they prepare the padded room for you.
All the best,

The way I see (hear) it is that no component, in and of itself, is a faithful reproducer of music. They are what the designers think they should be, researched and developed in house with ancillary equipment they have on hand such as sources, speakers, cables, etc. They all fine tune it to what sounds best and hope it's good enough for everyone else.
Anyone who's been to a manufacturers place and been in one of their listening rooms is privy to what they use for playback purposes. They usually have a few different speakers, sources and what cabling they like. It's fairly representative of what's out there but it's hardly extant.
Having said that, the place I visited was a famous brand name with a higher end brand that is very well respected and very costly and all they used for cabling was the cheap crap that comes with a $50 DVD player. I couldn't believe it but I certainly heard it. $5K amp driving $7K speakers with generic cabling and it sounded like crap. The guy went on about the sound and how superior the drivers were and all I could think of was did he drink his lunch? I still bought the unit I came for since I got it for half off and when I got home, it sounded so much better in my system which retailed for about 1/6 the cost.
Now can anyone claim that what I heard at the costly name brand factory was faithfully reproducing the source? Simply replacing those red, white and black cheap as hell ICs and zip cord speaker cable would have woke that system up. I've heard that gear at audio shows with better cabling and it can really sing. Sometimes, tweaking can not only fine tune a system but make up for cheap, cost cutting steps made along the way.

Why on earth would I advocate a position based on a premise that I don't believe in? |
@shadorne & @kosst_amojan,
You two can be the next Abbott & Costello and should take it on the road.
Please, and make it a couple of years while you're at it. 👍

@greg22lz The more I read and hear about the Tekton speakers, the more they remind me of my old Tonian Labs TL-D1s. They were so revealing of anything upstream that what would be considered small changes here and there amounted to significant differences in the resulting sound.
Fuses and cable swap outs resulted in obvious changes in tone, timbre, ambiance and depth, or see through, as I call it. Even footers made a noticeable difference. I used to love Herbie's tenderfeet but with the Tonians, I had to take them out and just perch the gear directly on the maple shelves. It was just a bit too foggy with them.
Anyhow, keep on keeping on and tweak away as long as you can hear the difference.

@greg22lz you're walking a tightrope there, my friend. 😃 |
Amen. I had two removed in two weeks listed in an email along with the guidelines laying out the reasons and both didn't violate any of the reasons listed. I guess all it takes is for some snowflakes to cry to mommy since they have nothing valid to counter with. |
When you're low on ammo, start throwing rocks and claim it's the same.
Now that's using your noodle.

In case you glossed over, forgot, or simply didn't retain what you read from other threads, audio fuses are rebranded specialty fuses that are used in medical, military, aerospace, and important IT functions, among others. They're called high rupturing fuses. Google it.
Now that they've been around awhile (what, two decades?) some audio makes have specified certain builds and styles (think real hard) like SR who have the factory do it or BeesWax, who go and do it themselves after buying audio fuse stock. Do you honestly believe that SR has their own fuse factory?
Please.
And as for your analogy regarding printers and cabling, to call that the same as audio reproduction is both a silly and lazy argument. Not well thought out at all.
