| Power Conditioners: Audioquest Niagara 5000 or Shunyata Denali 6000S skyscraper I didn’t realize it was a fairly new development that power conditioners can fully power amps without current limiting ...It isn’t a new concept at all. For example, Tice was doing this with the Power Block/Titan combo decades ago.Some... | |
| Tonearms: Ripoff? madavid0 OPSo no one wants to defend high end tonearms?They don’t require any defense. The performance and precision of a high-end arm speaks for itself. | |
| Are you as OCD as this audiophile? glupsonWhat happened in those three deleted posts?I think Michael Powell embarrassed himself. | |
| Are you as OCD as this audiophile? rodman999993,265 posts11-03-2018 1:43pm I'm trying to understand the, " Because the receptacle he’s looking at is a 20A device. If he puts the wider blade on an otherwise 15A plug, it wouldn’t fit a common standard 15A receptacle." Every 1... | |
| Are you as OCD as this audiophile? lalitk I did watched the video and yes he misspoke about the neutral connection of the receptacle as live (hot)It would be easy to overlook if that was his only error. But his elaborate explanation for why the Furutech plug didn’t have the type of... | |
| Are you as OCD as this audiophile? lalitk He’s an upstanding guy, very knowledgeable and been running a legitimate business for years now.He may be a great guy. He just doesn't know what he's talking about - that's already been established. Did you review his video that I referen... | |
| Are you as OCD as this audiophile? rbstehno11-03-2018 9:18amI might be wrong here but this thread looks very suspicious ...Agreed. And at least some of the time, he clearly doesn’t know what he’s talking about. In this video of his, he confuses the neutral connection of an AC recep... | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? n80Has anyone mentioned Chicago? I'm not into them but they are totally American ...Great band! But although he's not an original member, singer Neil Donell is a Canuck. | |
| Stranded vs Solid Copper sleepwalker65There is only one correct breaker for each panel. That is the one that is the correct current rating (regular/GFCI/AFCI) specified by the manufacturer of your panel. Any other breaker is the wrong breaker. Period.This is mistake... | |
| Anyone Ever Tried This...? lewmI am not sure I agree with the basic premise that CD playback is free of any timing error. The digital encoding may be, but during playback, you have a rapidly spinning disc being scanned by a moving laser beam. Those two mechanical de... | |
| How are you hearing no difference? n80I do not think it would be that difficult at all to design a randomized, double blinded study for audiophiles. I'm not saying it wouldn't be a little complex but it wouldn't be hard.It's fairly easy to design such a test, but it is a real ch... | |
| How are you hearing no difference? brfHearing, just like the rest of our senses can be refined and educated over a period of time. Quite so! In fact, when professionals conduct blind listening tests, they commonly begin with some training to help the subjects know what to listen ... | |
| How are you hearing no difference? guidocoronaListening with just your ears does eliminate the effect of psychoacoustics quite plenty if you are totally blind ...This is mistaken and a common misnomer. It is impossible to listen "with just your ears." Just as with vision, what we p... | |
| How good is the McIntosh MC-2300 vs modern SS amplifiers? kalaliComplete BS or bias at best. I have not heard the MC2300 ...Wow, talk about bias. How can you call BS regarding what someone heard from an amplifier that you admit to not having heard? | |
| How are you hearing no difference? mzkmxcvIf you did demo blind, you’ll find a $500 DAC and a $2500 DAC (assuming cream of the crop for their price points) are not going to sound dissimilar. That's quite possible. Many poorly-conducted blind listening tests obscure audible dif... |
