| Cables that measure the same but (seem?) to sound different I happen to be friendly with Scott Hull owner/chief engineer of https://masterdisk.com/He states unequivocally that cables sound different. I have sat in the "master's chair" and listened to the system you see in the link above (page down a bit).... | |
| Critical listening and altered states In bumbling feeble attempt to answer the original question...For true critical listening I believe that completely sober is the way to go.Ok, now that we got that out of the way, I also believe that a little buzz can add enjoyment to the experienc... | |
| older CD transport vs newer ones. There is something about this that I don't understand. First off, no one has asked about where the "streaming" is coming from. I believe the OP when he says that the CD transport sounds better, it is after all his system. I don't have a dcs, bu... | |

| A MEMBER IN NEED OF SUPPORT david_tenGlad to hear you and your family are safe. The devastation in New Orleans and environs is mind boggling. It was also quite shocking to hear of all the drowning deaths here in NJ and across the river in NYC. Bad things happen to good peo... | |

| Learning to Listen: Neurological Evidence Not too long ago I saw an article in a scientific journal (misplaced as I am wont to do lately) which spoke entirely about reducing/eliminating tinnitus by training the brain to not process the errant signal it is receiving.Good post MC, I will ce... | |
| Please Suggest An Electronic Crossover +1 jrpndeI use a Marchand Electronic Crossover. Amazing piece, built entirely to your spec. Think seriously about bi-amping, purchase another amp.But, at any rate, check out Marchand, it will give you an excellent idea of what is possible.https:... | |
| PS Audio FR-30 Speaker... I personally heard the first two iterations of these, they were not of this design at all. Forget about the first it was experimental. The second one dubbed the AN-30 for Arnie Nudell sounded very good. Got to hear them for about 30 minutes at the... | |
| Nirvana sued over "Nevermind" cover photo Another interesting angle: If this is actually adjudicated as child porn thenwhat about Qobuz (for instance) showing the album cover when you play the album. Is that distributing child porn?Regards,barts | |
| Nirvana sued over "Nevermind" cover photo There is no federal statute of limitations on child pornography, meaning the feds can step in at any time after the fact. Also, federal law does not require any type of sex act, the simple picture of anyone under 18 and graphically naked is enoug... | |
| When are people going to wake up and realize listening is a skill? +1 @frogman @ghdprentice I also feel very stable and well adjusted and seem to attract lunacy. Hard to put my finger on but I must be sending out some kinda vibes or inserting myself in situations/venues that are attractive to lunatics. USMC perh... | |
| When are people going to wake up and realize listening is a skill? @tomic601 No he didn't lap me even though his Lotus is supercharged and has an LSD, upgraded wheels, brakes and tires. I had been to the Ron Fellows Corvette Driving school in Pahrump Nevada for their Advanced level class. Great fun to beat the sn... | |

| When are people going to wake up and realize listening is a skill? Hey MC, I think the track analogy works rather well inasmuch as its a description of how anyone can get better at a skill. Many years ago JA in Stereophile (I believe it was JA) posted a similar analogy using the learning curve of a radiologist r... |
