| Does anyone have any experience with Revel M126Be speakers? Talking to Revel reps, at Audiogon, they have stated the M126Be is a gem of a speaker. Most of them own them. | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords @audphile1 There is one big thing you missed in your list. Maybe there are no differences? That could be a possibility also. That list was classic audiophile bullshit and arrogance. | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords @mrdecibel actually you are. Science doesn’t back nonsense. Cable break in is nonsense. Your ears get used to sound in that time - how can carrying electrons change? That would violate the laws of physics. I find y'all entertaining. Please gone o... | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords ROFL - 100 HOURS. What a joke. | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords Rhodium is the most expensive metal in the world currently. It is used in catalysis in the (converters in your car, albeit small amount) and in the petrochemical industry. Rhodium is currently 4750.00 USD per Oz. Copper is the best metal for cond... | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords @mrdecibel rhodium has 50% conductivity of copper and 70% conductivity of gold. So you are adding more resistance using rhodium as well as expense. Some rhodium compounds are highly toxic also. | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? @helomech How many 'Golden ears' have been through that training. I bet one could count the number on one hand. That IS THE POINT. No standards. | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? I am lucky, because at 63, I can still hear 16K in one ear and 13K in the other since I have been in medical monitoring at work. I use ear protection and ear plugs when it gets too loud, like at concerts and work. | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? @helomech That is BS. Who trained them to hear that way. I would say fine, if they were a trained musician. Not supposed golden ears. I have been when a few were fooled by low-cost systems when they couldn't see the system playing. I went through... | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? @cdc You don’t have the reviewers’ ears. So, anything subjective said is like throwing darts. I ignore the subjective crap they throw out because it is useless to me. I look at the measurements on Stereophile - ignore the platitudes. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Also, today is Bandcamp Friday where more money goes to the artists. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @curiousjim Here is another - The Messthetics and James Brandon Lewis It is not for everyone as members of the Messthetics are from the band Fugazi. When in the right mood, it is a fantastic listen. | |
| Gustard R26 @rischa yes - the SPDIF connections, for me sound lifeless - I have not tried the ethernet connection so I cannot comment. | |
| Gustard R26 All I use. It works great and sounds great. It is more optimized for USB, as it uses the same USB chip that is used in other Gustards and SMSL. | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing @audphile1 I was the lab manager and fermentation expert at a distillery. We had to be trained for tasting. The American Distillers Institute has classes on it. They use base flavors and fragrances to train with. This way, one can use the same des... |
