| Proof of improvements in audio system sound quality.... @waytoomuchstuff Thank you. I did not pick up on your humour. There's so much pseudo-science on here that I took your post as reasoned analysis. Sorry. | |
| Spikes on tower speakers @michaellent Please read my previous post. If the floor is concrete laid on the ground the mass of the Earth will absorb all forces from the speaker via the spikes. The forces can only bounce back to the speaker if the Earth is moved by those... | |
| New Synergistic Master Fuse No-one has mentioned whether it matters which way around you insert your fuses. No-one has mentioned that your house supply contains other fuses and breakers, most of which are a lot bigger and thicker than those in your audio system. What about... | |
| Proof of improvements in audio system sound quality.... @waytoomuchstuff Possibly you do not understand the the spatial effects of listening on headphones. When you listen on speakers both of your ears hear both channels. Your right ear hears a lot of the right channel and a bit of the left, and vi... | |
| Proof of improvements in audio system sound quality.... @digitalviper You say your mind is confused. Read your post again. It sure is. | |
| Where do you stop? I have been using silver interconnects for 40 years or so. Siltec. The old blue ones with silver writing. Indeed, the issue now comes to mind as to whether there has been deterioration in that time. Oxidation if air can get in. Probably can. ... | |
| "High end" store snobbery @jeffseight A real cash buyer. Yes! Real cash buyers can negotiate discounts on expensive gear if they don't fog the deal by offering to sell their item. For the dealer that just kills the deal as he has to get rid of the part exchange ite... | |
| Spikes on tower speakers @joshua43214 I never said spike speakers to suspended wooden floors. Indeed I said don't spike speakers to suspended wooden floors. For the reason you state. But if, as I do, you spike speakers to a concrete slab laid on a screed in the groun... | |
| Spikes on tower speakers @vinylvalet Not an opinion. Re-read my post. It is backed by science. Where is the evidence for your opinion? | |
| Spikes on tower speakers @vinylvalet Simply not correct. Credo is wrong. Its representative says speakers need to be isolated from vibration by being decoupled. But this involves supporting them on a system that allows the speakers to move. The movement of the eleme... | |
| Power conditioner wire gauge? Serious issue @atmasphere Thank you for this detail. You have the knowledge of these things and your posts are very informative. I have gone the path of reconfiguring the power supply in my home and I am happy with the sound I get from a fairly upmarket s... | |
| Power conditioner wire gauge? Serious issue @atmaspheres30 Thank you. I know you have knowledge of these things. Since the action of conditioning the power must consume some of it, the conditioners of which you speak presumably have power supplies of their own to make good the loss. Yo... | |
| Power conditioner wire gauge? Serious issue @mastering92 Thank you. You have answered your own question. As you say, power conditioners need power to function and this power has to come from the wall, therefore reducing the power that is passed on to the audio power amplifiers. Also as ... | |
| Dylan's Time Out of Mind remix is Stunning @bdp24 As I said Dylan approved the mixes but was not involved in their production. But thanks for the additional information and comment, most of which I didn't have. As to well recorded early rock, the Stones were very lucky to be signed to ... | |
| Power conditioner wire gauge? Serious issue @vthokie83 @jumia All power conditioners steal power. You need to make absolutely sure that the power exiting the conditoner is still more than sufficient to drive your power amps. This will be a particular issue with big amps that draw a lo... |
