Experience with HFTs
MC - would you share some before and after measurements for us so we can see the effect of the HFTs?or if you don’t have any measurement gear, perhaps share the manufacturer’s measurements?They must have some. The devices are deliberately shaped, ... 
Purifi Class D: Junk?
Doh! <slaps forehead> 
Would This Amp Be Worth The Cost?
I know! It is surprising isn’t it. Cheap cables tossed over a chair. Basic receiver. Sounded just as good or better than the much more expensive set up under blind conditions - as long as the room and speakers and source was the same. (They didn’t... 
Would This Amp Be Worth The Cost?
Ozzy - well, that’s odd, because folks keep posting that the changes they hear when swapping cables, adding a Schumann resonator, placing a crystal on top, auditioning at their local store, etc, all reveals almost instant results! Don’t worry abou... 
Would This Amp Be Worth The Cost?
You post your blind listening test result that show that anything other than source material, speakers and room make any audible difference.  I’ll keep posting examples of where people who were utterly convinced they could tell differences in amps... 
Would This Amp Be Worth The Cost?
When the source material is the same and the speakers are the same and the room is the same, it seems differences in what kit lies between them have a negligible effect when the listening is blind. Examples abound:http://matrixhifi.com/contenedor_... 
"Real" streamer vs. Bluetooth adapter--what's the advantage?
One of the beauties of the BS Node is that it allows so much experimentation on both the input and output sides. You can feed it by Bluetooth or Airplay, or direct. I wouldn’t worry about using Airplay, if using it suits you. Airplay is lossless a... 
Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told!
Glupson - do make sure those are double blind listening sessions, won’t you?  Nobody wants to pay a $250 premium for placebo effects. I’m sure a $10 premium is all that is needed to trigger the  “I paid more for that copy and I am told by the reta... 
Schumann Resonator
Mahgister - I’d better get my mother to kiss my cables then.  I’ll hear a difference and because trust my ears I will assert the sound actually improved. Maybe I’ll put the diamond ring she left me on top of my Raspberry Pi and I’ll get “more air”... 
Worst Concerts You Have Attended ??
Dekay- hilarious article by JJ Trollop!  What a gem!   
If your were to assemble a vintage system ?
And ref: “lamp chords” - no audible differences as long as basic current handling requirements are met:https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.soundguys.com/cable-myths-reviving-the-coathanger-test-23553/amp/What needs to be stated plainly here is that... 
If your were to assemble a vintage system ?
I’m going to keep posting this stuff until MC stops being 1) rude and 2) annoying. So it could be for a while:https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/solid-state/12752-blind-listening-tests-amplifiers.htmlFor a recent non-believer, I used an Onkyo SR500 D... 
I saved alot of money.
Audio2design - another posting of perfection.  
want to get up and streaming with all new gear, please help
I’m a Roon addict and a Node 2! user. They go together well. Some don’t like the DAC in the Node 2i. All the outputs of the Node 2i are “hot” so it is really easy to connect up all its different analogue and digital outputs to your amp/dac and the... 
Schumann Resonator
Mijostyn,Indeed. The Enlightenment is not complete. Maybe there is a rational and evolutionary reason for irrationality and it will be with us forever. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF01245738Mahgister,And you think that putting under ...
