We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses
nonoiseTo behoove is to state that it is the responsibility or duty for a person to do something. That is flat out ridiculous on it's face.  No one owes you anything save for relating what they hear(d). If you doubt it, it is your responsibili... 
We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses
cleeds - It’s fair to question positive results. gdhal Absolutely. This is why it behooves those who claim to hear an improvement when an ordinary fuse/wire is reversed to be honest with themselves and do a blind test (i.e. a test where ones ...

geoffkaitThere is such a thing as placebo effect, probably most applicable to medical applications rather than audio, but I give you that. There is such a thing as expectation bias, also. I’ll grant you that ... those “psychological” effects can b... 
Is overloading of a preamp volume dependent?
montaldo I have read that if a phono pre signal is overloading a preamp, it should be independent of volume. Does this vary based on the preamp's architecture or is it always true? The louder the signal from a phono cartridge, the more likel... 
VPI ADS Versus SDS
gbanderhoosThis is an interesting alternative for little more money than the original ADS:http://www.9tci.com/Some VPI motors consume more than the 7-watt limit of that controller, so some caution is warranted.  
Dynamics varying with track position.
I agree with @stringreen - it sounds like improper setup. A paper template is simply insufficient. The best and most accurate gauges use a mirror to align not the phono cartridge, but the cantilever/stylus itself. Using anything less than that is ... 
Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
kosst_amojanThere appears to be two basic sides to this debate. Those who don't buy that Ethernet cables make a difference, and their opinion is buttressed by reams of facts. Then you have those who think they do make a difference, and they ... 
Moving from MM to MC
It's really impossible to offer you a meaningful suggestion without knowing more, such as what pickup arm and phono preamp you will be using with this cart. 
Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
cleeds I’ve simply pointed out that what you claim is a scientifically valid test jinjuku Links to posts please. Just scroll up, silly - you’ve been doing your best here to defend the validity of your testing protocol. If you now recognize that... 
Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
jinjukuI have the sighted subjectivist crowd DEMANDING scientifically rigorous testing. Not so. I’ve simply pointed out that what you claim is a scientifically valid test is nothing of the sort. If you can find a single post where I was maintaini...

jinjuku194 posts04-26-2018 12:10pmI think you are confused.If you state that you can jump 10’ straight up from a standstill and either I bring a 10’ high bar or we use your 10’ high bar. What are we exactly testing, why isn’t the 10’ high bar va... 
Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
jinjukuNo, it tests the claim. When it comes to scientifically valid double-blind listening tests, you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about. You don’t even understand what it is that you’re testing.In fact, the ideal listener involved in ... 
Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
jinjuku says: Upfront payment wasn’t demanded. It was also loser pays expenses. Then jinjuku says: My offer, as it was for William, was to do this in the listeners setup. No money involved. Seems way more than fair to the claimant. It looks ... 
Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
jinjukuUpfront payment wasn’t demanded. It was also loser pays expenses. This would all be handled after the evaluation. Perhaps that was your offer. The proposal to which I refer required a $25,000 advance payment and agreement crafted by an at... 
Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference?
acepilot71If you here/feel the difference or better say improvement - keep that cable in your system.Well, of course. I don't use the forum for validation of what I hear, or for validation of the equipment I've chosen for my system. It's just odd...
