| Do you believe in Magic? 08-07-12: MapmanI do not recall the details of how your computer is connected to your audio system, but assuming it is via wires, then I would most likely attribute the difference to a change in the computer generated noise domain resulting from a... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Question, Geoff, and I'm asking it sincerely... Are you a Dualist?Bryon | |
| Are my CAT5 and router my weak link? Kijanki - Your expertise in this area far exceeds my own. There may be good technical reasons to doubt that an ethernet cable can affect sound quality. Nevertheless, the effect I heard when I replaced an unshielded Cat 5 with a shielded Cat 6 was,... | |
| Are my CAT5 and router my weak link? I can confirm what Al has reported about my experiences when I replaced an unshielded Cat 5 cable with a shielded Cat 6 cable. The result was more resolution. A lot more.The $7 shielded Cat 6 cable resulted in a bigger improvement in SQ than sever... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Nice post, Bill. I agree with your generally open attitude about tweaks. For the vast majority of tweaks, I'm neither a Believer nor a Skeptic until I've tried them myself. Even then, I'm sometimes unable to say whether I'm a Believer or a Skeptic... | |
| Faceplates Silver or Black??????? Personally, I find silver more pleasing. But I never think about it. No, I'm not saying that I'm too good to think about it. I'm as shallow as the next guy. But for several years my equipment has lived in a closet, so I never see it. Hence I never... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? 08-05-12: AlmargDid you implement the software installation to the new internal SSD by installing everything from scratch, or by using an imaging program to restore a recently generated image file containing the entire contents of the original HDD... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? 08-05-12: TbgAudiophile rectal inserts, you need some.Wow. What a comment. Where do I start? How about...It seems like you're harboring some hostility toward me since our argument on the fuse thread. Maybe you should talk with someone about it. He... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Like these? I just ordered some.bc | |
| Kubala / Purist audio / Gabriel Gold / Synergistic I've owned two of the cables on your list... Gabriel Gold's Rapture and Synergistic's Precision Reference. They were both good, but different.In my system, the SR's were incredibly detailed and spooky quiet, but the tonal balance wasn't quite righ... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? I had another difficult-to-explain experience. Whether it is Magic is an open question.My system is computer based. I recently replaced the hard disk drive in my computer with a solid state drive. Formerly, I used HDD's both for the OS and for mus... | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? Thank you, Nonoise. I will print out your post and present it to my psychiatrist. Then she will finally have to rescind the restraining order.bc | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? Ok, so I'm not crazy. Or at least my ears aren't crazy.Interesting comments. I particularly like Nonoise and Whart's observation that realistic decays are at least as important as realistic attacks. In fact, I would add that to the list of answers... | |
| Shielding components from EMI/RFI... Help please Yes, Onemug, I did notice a small improvement after they had about 100 hours on them. I am very impressed with the performance of the AC-9's. Remarkable for the price.The fact that I preferred the very affordable AC-9's to the very expensive Pytho... | |
| Shielding components from EMI/RFI... Help please Update for anyone still interested in my adventures in EMI/RFI reduction...Three more changes:--I replaced the unshielded power cords for the power conditioner, the preamp, and the amp with shielded power cords. An improvement, even though I went ... |
