| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? geoffkaitNoone said blind tests are irrelevant. You’re putting words in my mouth. What I said is they don’t mean anything. They only mean something when there is a preponderance of evidence from many tests, independent from each other That’s essen... | |
| Cartridge azimuth adjustment using a voltmeter and a test lp stringreenmijostyn.....I suspect you are way off. Most mirrors are silvered in the back and therefore you’ll have a great deal of error with the stylus resting on the glass with a few mm to the silver.Oh no, not at all. The distance between th... | |
| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? kozkaA typical thread on audio forums where exotic power cords, exotic speaker cables, interconnects, vibration pads/puck(?) are dwelled upon consists of:1.snake oil salesman en force...best markups for them2.suckers who spent money on those, also... | |
| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? heaudioI made the claim that SR and others claim to do double blind tests but none of them to my knowledge had done a properly administered double blind test in public ...So what? Who cares?I've been a participant in a few double-blind listen... | |
| Simple question, or is it... djones51 ... The more I read about "electricity" the more satisfied i am with my basic cables.Yes, that's known as "confirmation bias." Very common. Many of us have been there; many of us started as skeptics. | |
| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? turnbowm I don't expect hobbyists to be conducting scientific tests but think it's NOT unreasonable for PC manufacturers to publish test results supporting their claims. Is that too much to ask? There are companies such as Wireworld that have... | |
| Does anyone collect something else other than music. mahgisterI am amazed to be the only one that collect books it seems.... Anybody else?Interesting. I’ve never thought of books as a "collection." They are just ... books. You have to have books, right? It’s kinda like saying, "I collect flatware" b... | |
| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? turnbowmSorry, but anecdotal evidence doesn't prove anything.It's true that even abundant empirical evidence is not by itself proof. But this is a hobbyist's group, so this wouldn't be the place to expect participants to be conducting the kind o... | |
| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? cd318Since there is no evidence, none at all, (not a sausage, not even the smell of pork - plenty of snake oil aroma if you like) that expensive power cables do anything that the manufacturer supplier ones can’t, it’s time to ...There is abundant... | |
| Anyone remember Cramolin Red? ebm ... i remember Panama Red.That's funny. I have no recollection of Panama Red at all. | |
| If you had to start all over again in this day and age arro222 ... can you burn cd’s from a streaming service?Not really. You could stream the audio, then record it in real time using a digital recorder before burning to CD. Of course, that’s not very practical, and would also involve another A/D >... | |
| If you had to start all over again in this day and age jssmith There's no difference between streaming and a CD ... except convenience and having a massive library at hand. Bits is bits.That is a silly claim even for those who believe digital is as simple as "bits is bits." There's no way CD can eq... | |
| Simple question, or is it... djones51Making the electricity vary between positive and negative at the speed and amplitude of the sound makes the speaker reproduce the sound.Yes, but that is not what an amplifier does; the audio signal is already varying from positive to negat... | |
| Simple question, or is it... djones51... speaker wire doesn’t carry audio signals but an electrical description of the audio ...No, it's an audio signal, an analog of the sound. That electrical pulse is carried in the wire mostly the outer 1/3 of the wire.It's not a pulse ... | |
| Recommendations for PC -- for modest system -- Unless you're having a specific problem, I'd save your money and use stock PCs in that system. Your money is best used to upgrade your existing components, imo. |
