| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords I got my dose of bullshit for this evening. I’m out. Be good. | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords My neighbors are as able to hear discernible differences in sound as you are. that I doubt For some the entire premise of these threads when someone describes how two sets of cables sound the same is to diminish their experience. We... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords Your reply to my first post here was sarcastic. No one is disrespecting you for the difference of opinion. Don’t play the snowflake card now. Your experience is not threatening. You can’t hear what you can’t hear. That’s the end of it. | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords Cool. Sounds like the room is good enough to test the cables. Let us know how the amplifier sounds with the new cable | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords To add…I explained why having neighbors do the abx is useless in your first post. And repeated some of it here. But anyways…looking forward to your next post. AudioQuest Dragon power cords? Naaah. Go big or go home. Nordost Odin, Shunyata Omega…I ... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords Oh I have no experience with the aq dragon. And I never doubted the fact that you can’t hear the difference. Good to see you have these cables on hand. Proving that either your ear is immune to the differences or your system is just downright amaz... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords The noise with neighbors in both your posts, the statement you claim the dealer has made, etc I doubt you have evaluated these cables It isn’t that you can’t hear the difference. That’s probably the only plausible part of your post. | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords @krelldog we’re going off of hearsay here. No one knows what the dealer said or if the dealer even said anything. We’re just reading one side of the story at best. | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords @dwcda I’m going to let the sarcasm in your response slide. I’m well aware of what the AQ Dragons are. I also remember your adventure with a $80,000 Transparent cables where you also heard absolutely no difference. So here’s my take on it…you ... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords I never heard the AQ Dragon but the Thunder, Tornado and Hurricane all made my system sound less coherent, with fatter bottom end and congestion in the soundstage. I have no AQ power cables now although I use AQ Diamond USB cable that I like betwe... | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords Yes the default sounded best to me as well. And if I’m not mistaken when you play an SACD the filter selection is disabled. I didn’t like the other filters and dither options as they just didn’t sound right to me. I would like to add though that... | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords @immatthewj I would put my best cord on the amp first and try it there for a few days. Then return to stock on the amp and listen to few of the same tracks. Then introduce the upgraded cord on digital and determine where it performs best. | |
| What is preferred/best contact cleaner these days? Lol yeah I thoroughly read every word of the op. May be not… | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords Enjoy....until it becomes ’not good enough’ once again.... 😏 @asvjerry this happens frequently. I won’t deny it. But then again it happens to us because we hear the difference and we want to hear what some other power cord or interconnect will ... | |
| What did a good 10 MHz clock do for your Gustard R26? @magon actually not a bad idea! I always go back to stock cables to set a baseline for a component’s sound when evaluating it. Aurender includes a very nice usb cable if you still have it, worth a try. Or just use any basic usb and power cord. Aw... |
