| Small difference equating to a big difference? I think the thing with cables(and I'm probably wrong about this)is that just pulling them out and then plugging them back in changes the sound. So the connection skews the perceived improvement in that the same change would have occurred had you s... | |
| Amplifier's age A 15-20 year old amp should be completely gone over and overhauled imo. Even if it sounds great, it will benefit and sound noticeably better afterward provided you find the right tech which is rare. If his heart's not in it, you likely won't notic... | |
| What's your view on blind testing? But Geoff, who's keeping score? | |
| At What Age Does An Audiophile Buy His Last Amp? Well that's a bit revealing, Elizabeth. Why don't you already have them? I sure would and I'm only 56. As Airegin stated, hearing is probably going to be the major factor in answering this question. But I mean in terms of satisfying one's hearing ... | |
| When did you know you're different? On that vein, I wish I would have keyed in on my grade ten biology teacher's interest, regularly keeping me after class to run errands. Very hot and definitely female. | |
| Small difference equating to a big difference? They always sound much better coming out of the Hype Cooker. | |
| What's your view on blind testing? I suppose it depends on who the subjects of the DBT are. The aspects of performance you value most will be the ones readily identifiable and hence your main focus. Marakanetz, I would wager I could fool you into thinking your listening to tubes, b... | |
| Amazing sound quality inexpensive earbuds The key is to not collapse it against the inner sleeve so as to keep it floating. | |
| Loss of bass & full spectrum sound Not likely. But I agree with everything you've said. IME, you really do need 8awg, all the way to the power supply itself. Change it out in your amp and you'll be blown away. | |
| Heavy Duty Binding posts for Krell KSA 250 Binding posts with screw-down installation on bare wire can't help being inferior. Just because it will be impossible to gain intimate contact with the wire. Soldering the tips of the wire strands will help but at the microscopic level, you will i... | |
| Amazing sound quality inexpensive earbuds Sure but I had all three well planted and settled. I think they're designed to incorporate resonance built in to the buds. Hence the differences in response. | |
| Heavy Duty Binding posts for Krell KSA 250 If you were the op, I might consider it. If you were the op, you might know what happens when you assume too much. But I seriously doubt it. | |
| Amazing sound quality inexpensive earbuds Turned up, I find the largest ones to have the best all round balance from top to bottom. Plenty of bottom end with those. Best upper bass/lower mid transition. I also don't find the top too hot with the large ones but I do with the others. Well w... | |
| Heavy Duty Binding posts for Krell KSA 250 You can say whatever you want. Doesn't mean I'm going to buy it. Maybe when the op discovers his Cardas posts are horrible he'll send them to you at a discount. But I seriously doubt that. | |
| Loss of bass & full spectrum sound Clearly, no one here has had those interference issues to warrant an expenditure worthy of paying more than the cost of the ear buds Kijanki is promoting on another thread. I bought two pair. Problem solved. |
