| Power Cable Break In - Such a Change! Most of the cost is in the economy of scale. They won't sell a lot of these high-end cables, so to make up for that, they have to charge a lot more. | |
| Power Cable Break In - Such a Change! Also, in more than 40 years of reading about stereo stuff, I’ve never heard of something sounding worse after the supposed break-in. Why is that? Have you ever heard that a car engine runs worse after broken in in 40 years of your life? | |
| Power Cables on Subwoofers do Matter ^^^ So you believe whatever he said? | |
| An electrical engineer on how power cables can impact sound quality The argument that the power cable is a parallel element does make some sense. After all, the power supply filter elements are in parallel. Why would it make any difference after all the electricity has traveled miles before it reaches the power su... | |
| TV and upgraded cables First in order to study the difference, you have to first understand the fundamental transmission of the data in the HDMI cable. The article didn't do that. Until you understand the basics, you can't perform any test. | |
| TV and upgraded cables I can understand how a USB cable will improve the sound, but when it comes to how HDMI cable can improve the picture quality, I am not quite there yet. Can anyone describe the engineering behind how HDMI cable would improve the picture quality? | |
| Burn in period This thread is like internet porn for people with less than 50 posts. | |
| Affordable vs. ultra expensive speakers - what's the difference? It’s difficult to judge a pair of speakers based on the frequency response plot. There are just too many parameters. | |
| Affordable vs. ultra expensive speakers - what's the difference? The 2.4 cabinet performs poorly against some of its more modern competitors Is a there a link to point to a test that compares the cabinet resonance? I am not aware of any specific test. | |
| Affordable vs. ultra expensive speakers - what's the difference? The Thiel CS2.4 was only about 4.5K USD when it came out. It can compete handily with the YG. Their top of the line CS3.7 was only 13K USD. How prices have gotten out of whack! | |
| Which Tweeter preferred- dome natural material, Beryllium/Metal or Planar Ribbon? Why? Do this simple exercise. Disconnect the mid and bass drivers leaving only the tweeter. Play some music. It's impossible to tell if the tweeter is good or not. Meaning one can only tell how good a tweeter is once it is integrated to the rest of... | |
| Affordable vs. ultra expensive speakers - what's the difference? Another part of the equation is there seems to be a rather high jump in price of high end audio components. Everything seems to cost quite a bit more nowaday. | |
| Affordable vs. ultra expensive speakers - what's the difference? I understand the diminishing return of higher cost speakers. In term of driver technology, both speakers seem to be in equal. The monitor metal dome technology does not seem to be inferior vs. the yg speakers. They are not of garden variety but... | |
| Affordable vs. ultra expensive speakers - what's the difference? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. That’s the answer you’re phishing for, right? I think there is a difference but not sure if 50K difference. | |
| Never Spend More On Cables Than Your Equipment Cost$$$$$$$$$$ QED makes good cables for their price range, but they are not quite high-end. I have the Reference 40 but compared to Acoustic Zen Hologram, they are inferior. |
