| Montreal Audio Show - anyone hear the FR30’s? Hmm, their response to Amir‘s criticisms of their power reconditioner was not exactly convincing. Hard to tell at this point who is the joke. | |
| Amir and Blind Testing @milpai "Ask your guru to show how he measures a person's emotions." That is a little pejorative, don't you think? Your other points are fine, but your religious references make me think you might be investing this discussion with more signifi... | |
| Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord? @piaudiol 👍 | |
| Amir and Blind Testing What I take as Amir's main point seems to be lost among the personal attacks on him, most of which appear sadly mis-informed. What I hear him saying to the manufacturers of equipment which does poorly in his tests is "show us your data." Or conver... | |
| Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord? @atmasphere Thanks for that link. My next acquisition may have to be some high impedance speakers! But tell me, can we cheat and just add a resistor in the line to a lower impedance speaker and get the same enhancement of performance from the am... | |
| Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord? @piaudiol So we would agree there is no point to have a heavier cable between the wall plug and the amp than what is behind the wall plug running to the circuit breaker? | |
| Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord? @piaudiol I've been trying to understand what you are saying. But first of all, respectfully, I think the relationship of the size of conductor to resistance involves a square and a determination of output impedance is more complicated that just... | |
| Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord? @piaudiol , interesting, please explain. | |
| Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord? hilde45 3,116 posts 03-22-2022 at 08:25am @ghdprentice "High end audio is a very complex endeavor… full of ambiguity and complexity." Well said. The problem is not "trying to prove a negative," as someone else said, the problem... | |
| Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord? I will just throw this into the mix. If you take a look at the box that contains your circuit breakers for the house you will probably find that all the lines that run through your house have 12 gauge copper wire. So explain to me why anyone would... | |
| I miss my Loudness Button and Tone Controls.... I have the Rogue Sphinx and my suggestion is to make your next upgrade in An RME adi2 dac it works great with the Sphinx and has loudness, bass and treble plus a built-in equalizer if you get even more ambitious… And oh yeah it is a superb Digita... | |
| Amir and Blind Testing @daveinpa Nice choice! May I ask how long it took for the Pontus to arrive once ordered? Denafrips is a good example of a generally well respected name in the reviewer world. The Pontus has not been reviewed on ASR but I looked and saw the Ares ... | |
| Amir and Blind Testing @daveinpa I like your post! Your category 3 is right on. It is fine to buy something just because it makes you feel better. What seems to generate the most angst in these discussions is when people buy things for Reason 3, while trying to convinc... | |
| Amir and Blind Testing It puzzles me why the debate about measurement vs. subjectivity sometimes gets so fierce. Why can't we have both? I certainly want both. I appreciate that what we can measure may not represent the sum total of our listening experience. But if prop... | |
| Best Recycled Streamer? @petaluman Contrary to the experience of many here I have generally found wifi to be a superior delivery path for audio in my house. I have a mesh network so connectivity is good everywhere. My Auralic Aries actually recommends wifi over a wired... |
