| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? 702, granted and I also agree with Garfish, that we are often closer than it may seem, but I often sense absolutism on both sides, which is detrimental to progress of knowledge for both sides. | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? Lets not bicker about wine experts 702 and of course wines change with age. Cables do not, you so adamantly say. I think it would have been more correct to have added something like " as far as the laws of physics tell us".This would make a subtle... | |
| Speaker wire is it science or psychology 702, to your question: no scientific pretentions here, it was strictly amateurish. Level matching was by ear. I don't remember the exact number of trials. We spent practically a day and we did lots of "runs". The hits were significantly higher tha... | |
| Time for spring cleaning I've always kept my junk and reused it, when some part of my system gave up its ghost, while it was being repaired. Generally was surprised how good those antique pieces sounded and how relative everything is..... | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? Sean, you're so right! Hearing acuity can be trained well beyond that level, which even complex measurements will be able to show. Another example for what our senses are capable of: Wine tasters or perfume testers ( vive la France )are schooled f... | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? Steve, the dichotomy we are locked on here is probably not to be solved. I find it difficult to believe, that all of those who are aware of differences in the way a cable "sounds" after "burn-in" are victims of some sorts of mass hysteria, just as... | |
| cones vs electrostats There are some very good FULL RANGE stats on the market and for below 30hz or so, you can still dial in a subwoofer. The drawback: if full range, they are large and expensive. But as far as coherence, transparency, soundstaging, the rendering of s... | |
| Power Cord Preferances KW6 it was a no name brand and it was Europe and the guy with the cables came from beyond the Iron Curtain of all places. (Hungary, if I remember correctly, where the Kadar regime at the time allowed a bit of private interprise. To us the guy was ... | |

| Maggie MG 10.1 How to cut below 85hz Doesn't your subwoofer have a high pass output in its crossover? You could use that, as the cheapest solution, but in most cases this is sonically just plain awful.The second solution is to have a passive crossover made with first rate parts, whic... | |
| Power Cord Preferances ad 1: They do. I remember, it was in the late seventies- early eighties, how bowled over a dealer friend and I were, as a tweeker-inventor ( and snake oil peddler, as we first thought) walked in, hooked on his home brewed powercables to the dealer... | |
| Attention Scientists, Engineers and Na-s Paul, nope, it isn't and I don't know any Mogami owners. Your thoughts on the webside in question parallel mine, however it got me thinking all the same and Jostler well put. My wife used to take the cards away for good. Regards! | |
| Leaving components on A pleasure, and thanks for your thankyou, which more often than not does not happen here. Thanks for the points as well, which I returned with pleasure. | |
| Attention Scientists, Engineers and Na-s Jostler: Basically I do agree, but don't you ever feel the urge to break the boundaries of reason and what science tells us to expect and try to hear for more, if you know what I mean? You may well make a fool of yourself, but then perhaps not. Wh... |
