| "audiophiles listen to their equipment" @stuartk So you don't own a good system yet you're sure AC cables have no effect ? Am I hearing you It's not crazy money to get a system capable of hearing AC cables ... under $10,000. You've had decades ... you have $10,000 what's needed i... | |
| Power Cords/ Conditioner/Surge Protectors @roadcykler AC cables are 100% objectively audible, and often measurable, I wish it wasn’t the case, but it is. Shunyata Research is the best stuff imo. And a great value compared to the field of options. | |
| "audiophiles listen to their equipment" @stuartk all of the musicians I know are very much into tone these tend to be guitar players, keyboard players, bass players, the sound of their instrument / their equipment is an essential part of their whole process for the audiophiles thei... | |
| Do I need upgraded power cables? @bzawa the important part of your question is that you’re asking other people what you "need", and in my experience, that’s just never the way to go. fear of missing out means you’re already in fear ... so you’re not in a position to listen criti... | |
| The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype @limomangus $2000 is a lot of money and there are many really good DA for 2000 or less and there are also some that are not so good it’s not a contest on expense, use your ears and find what works for you @choiceaudio I tried to engage with the ... | |

That one’s actually terrible especially for the price @jasonbourne71 i’m sure some part of you has good intentions, but you’re coming across as a tool. and you’re factually wrong ... | |
| Qobuz vs Tidal @ghdprentice not to pick on you in particular but because you brought up the point… High resolution audio is 100% marketing bullshit the best Audio possible is whatever was happening in the mastering room, that is what was approved by the artist... | |
| I’m considering upgrading my speakers internal wiring @bobbyloans i’ve gone down the rabbit hole of upgrades from every direction and if you are inspired to do any particular thing, I would certainly not stop you… However A big upgrade that many people miss out on is simply addressing the AC power i... | |
| Replace tubes yearly? The adage, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it ... comes to mind I will often leave my Allnic Audio A-6000 300 BXLS tube amplifiers on 24 seven they are on at least 12 hours a day every day for the last five years, I have an AT-1000 Amplitrex test... | |

| Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs? @roadwhorerecords ridiculous and redundant both :) | |
| Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs? @lalitk you made a couple of reasonable comments and then a whole lot of sales pitch that any AI could have generated upsampling a master is always damaging, always MQA always adds distortion. Always. Bulk processing was common and that t... | |
| Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs? @lalitk maybe you’re someone who buys the sales pitch that you’re sold instead of someone who knows what they’re doing, but I’m willing to give you a chance Go ahead and define what is "high definition" audio Then please explain why music maste... | |
| Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs? @lalitk I have downloaded files I mastered from QOBUZ etc. I have done the work. It’s my job "high resolution" is a marketing myth @soix There is nothing superior to the sample and bit rate from the mastering session. When we don’t know the... |
