Question on phono cable for Jelco 850S tonearm
It all hinges on how your pickup arm's connectors fit relative to the armboard and plinth. L-connectors sometimes don't clear, so you need a straight connector in those instances.

scottwheel It is truly amazing how many of you think you can speak for me and what *I* believe about things that have never been mentioned. It’s not amazing at all. You’ve made dozens of posts in the space of just a few weeks, and you’ve m... 
Am I harming my amp?
paqua123 The DAC output is 5.8 volts ... with the XLR . RCA DAC output is 2.9 volts.  Am I losing any quality using the RCA. You're losing 6 dB of s/n, which may not matter in your system.

scottwheel Everything above that you attribute to me is complete fabrication on your part ... Where did I call anyone gullible? Where did I say anything about being smarter than anyone? Why are you just making the crap up about me? I’ve call... 
Tidal or Qobuz
davetheoilguy I wouldn’t be surprised if the difference of opinion relates more to data sped and loss and corruption getting to where the listener is located... If everything is working right, that won’t make a difference, but there is always so... 
Why don't they record in ‘surround stereo’?
roxy54 ... "surround stereo" is a mismomer ... Stereo by definition is 2 channel. Not so. "Stereo" is Greek meaning "solid." Multi-channel "stereo" goes way back to the early '60s and 3-channel stereo systems that used a mono center.  
Mastering legend Bernie Grundman explains why the measurement crowd has it all wrong!
scottwheel If that is what he is saying then he is simply incorrect. Bernie Grundman’s knowledge, experience, and expertise speaks for itself. If you want to challenge that, you’ll need to do a whole lot better than "he is simply incorrect...

scottwheel Aren’t the conflicts between your beliefs and the large body of research in psychoacoustics a cause for examination of one’s personal beliefs?  It doesn't seem to have worked that way for you, does it?

scottwheel It does strike me as problematic that science is seen as a “camp.” That's a logical fallacy, straw man argument. There is a bias here against measurementalists, who often parade as scientists or "objectivists." But of course the... 
Streamer question
mahler123 You might look into the Bryston BDP 2 or 3.  I owned the 3, which sounded fantastic.  The big negative, and the reason that I got rid of it, was the lack of an app.  You have to use Bryston Manic Moose, a web based application that I h... 
What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound?
jhnnrrs No one here wants to listen to basic truths ... That's a whopper of an ad hominem logical fallacy. It's rather odd that measurementalists that want to be considered as objective so often resort to such lazy attacks.

unreceivedogma I fought a case to the U.S. Supreme Court and got Scalia to write an 8-1 opinion in my favor. I’m likely the only dialectical materialist to get Scalia to agree with him…twice! Can’t do that without first, dreaming, second, de...

unreceivedogma Systems are changed all the time, either at the ballot box, through grassroots organizing with thousands of others, through catastrophe ... No, they're not. Effecting real change in systems is rare. Yes, it happens, but incremen...

unreceivedogma Economic systems are not something handed down from God: they are social constructs. If you don’t like $1.2M audio systems, instead of not buying it, change the system that caters to millionaires. You are just being an apologist f...

viridian ...hate is for audiophiles, not the gear. Completely deserved ... Hate is a very strong word. Why have hate for a fellow human? Why so angry? I acknowledge there are a few unpleasant people here, but they're easy to ignore. Hate isn...
