| Fed rate increase = lower hifi prices? You forgot price gouging because they can hide it in the inflation :-) No I am not making that up, it was a researched report. Inflation is much higher in the western economies that printed money during Covid as opposed to Asian economies who d... | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? The only rational and real debate that can take place is on the objective facts: performance, design, execution, etc. Intelligent people don't debate subjective opinions. This appears to advocate objective excellence as the only path while ... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. Amp and speaker interaction cannot be simulated in lab amplifier measurements. Most all loudspeakers vary dramatically in load to an amp. Testing the amp and speaker separately is not an accurate measurement of how the components work together. S... | |
| How Electricity Actually Works Einstein, like all big brains was confident perhaps to the point of arrogance (at times). However, he was also humble enough to admit he was wrong and did that when he was proven wrong. When Einstein submitted a paper arguing that gravitational ... | |
| How Electricity Actually Works It’s those studies, and the truths/measurements gleaned, on which I base my opinions/hypotheses, far as the differences many of us hear in our systems, when making various changes/upgrades/tweaks. Any measurements or truths would clearly indi... | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? This topic is like 10 other topics on Audiogon. No one disputes that we all differ in what we like. The issue in this topic and every other one like it is that some people make claims that "something" is audible but never prove beyond their person... | |
| I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged. Most of the differences we hear between amps is their distortion signature, to which most audiophiles refer to as the ’sonic signature’. I’ve described how the distortion affects the sound of the amp earlier. Based on my newfound expertise w... | |
| How Electricity Actually Works @jimrobie however, a DC distribution system would be quite complicated and would replace very simple devices (transformers) with very complicated devices for transforming DC voltages. DC arcing is must nastier than AC too. Even getting a high volt... | |
| How Electricity Actually Works You mentioned not knowing a tenth of a percent. The percentage of what we know about our universe, is recognized by Scientists/Physicists as 4-5%. In order to put a percentage on what we don't know, you would have to know accurately w... | |
| How Electricity Actually Works There are some interesting and amusing arguments regarding E and B fields and their uses in this thread. Some of what I read here makes me seriously wonder about our education system. That is a bit of a drive-by @audio-union. Can you comment... | |
| Fed rate increase = lower hifi prices? Almost everything technology oriented goes down in price. Computers, cell phones, televisions, most audio equipment. Gas goes up and down, thought overall up. Much like any commodity in which usage is increasing. Copper was very very good to me! | |
| How Electricity Actually Works @jw944ts , How does the insulation and multistrand design of most of our cables enter into this discussion? How? Well if I am trying to sell cables that realistically don't sound any different from anyone else, but I want to make it seem l... | |
| How Electricity Actually Works @jea48, Since the energy is present and it is not in the conductors it must be in the space between the conductors. This is true for sine waves or square waves at all frequencies including dc. This one idea is not often discussed in circuit t... | |
| Fed rate increase = lower hifi prices? Na, it will be the market crash that will open up the used market. | |
| objective vs. subjective rabbit hole More paragraphs. More ignoring the singular issue which is not even in the least bit complex. Either the two equal measuring components can be identified as different through listening alone or not. Stop complicating a ham sandwich. This is not a ... |
