| Why Does Expensive Gear Seems To Sound Better? ....whenever I read of an expensive piece of equipment being superior to anything else being touted, I think back to the BBCs' 'Top Gear' shows' track performance board and the vehicles upon it.... The Lotus Elise was near the top of it, kicking ... | |
| 2 Channel system sounds weak and lackluster Have your ears checked first after Q-tipping; hydrogen peroxide flushing is a cheap homebrew means as a second follow-up. Age effects the ears of all, despite claims to the perfection of one’s hearing. Putter about with some room treatments....u... | |
| Shakti Stone Yes, the 'device' has magnets and other stones within it....I can read the copy at the sites....😒 This one still wonders just how the 'it' and it's arrangement of 'bits' was arrived at in the first place....much like the composition of exotic cabl... | |
| Shakti Stone @mitch2 *L* Not so much crypto, more like cryptic.... If the former, the price would have oscillating up ’n down like a yoyo.... I’ve an old friend that still owns her fathers’ ’41 Ford with a flathead 4, the front engine mounts are a pair of w... | |
| Soeaker cables technologic dilema… BTW, since there was a mention elsewhere about the 'time stamps' on posts being weird.... I got 2 @mitch2's responses that repeated your above as a 'mention' 8x each, one with 2, and 2 labeled "Soeaker cables technologic dilema…" with 2 each as we... | |
| Soeaker cables technologic dilema… @mitch2 That was my thought, although I'd neglected to state such... Not 'into' SOTA cables or speaker lines, due to their rather elevated price points and a plethora of IC's and lines in my system. Spending more on such than what's been spent o... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? @mylogic ....and, in the end.... the love and hate your share...with your friends.... ;) I’ll put this forum in my "Personally, The Better Ones’ " site file; mentioned earlier, it deserved being on a Brit Hit List. Even if only a source of cath... | |
| "audiophiles listen to their equipment" @hilde45 ... No one wonders how we can BOTH think about the taste of our food and then go back to enjoying it. I think listening to ones' equipment is analogous to considering how your dish was prep'd, cooked, and plated... ...but my spous... | |
| Does and don't ....varies with your blood type.... ;) | |
| Soeaker cables technologic dilema… Quick question to the assembled: What if the shield is grounded to soil, much like one's AC panel? Good, bad, indifferent? | |
| Get yer Alice at Axpona If any of y'all are off to the Axpona audissey, I'd be grateful to learn if any omni's are being shown and flown.... Curious as to whom has what on dis-play....*G* Can't see from the vendor list who with what is going to be there.... | |
| Get yer Alice at Axpona *L* I ref AC with that line from Rocky Horror.... "Any way you slice it, it always comes up Meatloaf..." If I’d lost my mind after winning a major Lotto draw, a $28K A77 would have to be in an unopened box with 1st line cables, no AC labels, all... | |
| No preamp in system @audioman58 .....I try to knock 2 out of those 3.....spend those on the not-so delightful stuff 'cept foodstuffs and exotica... ;) | |
| No preamp in system @rvpiano ...I've been running 'pre-less' for years running sources to a matrix that loops in a ss 32 band eq with a parametric bands....does the room eq to flat. Tweak to taste and amp it..... Got gifted with a nice pre, but looping it into the ma... | |
| Considering switching to XLR cables, @audioman58 @panzrwagn ...Ah, 2 schools of thought that seem to have some synergy that I could fart with since the mic cables aren't occupied all the time... *G* Thank you both, +10👍 @mclinnguy Yeah, I've noticed that on a couple, but seems o... |
