| "I have the best system in the world!" An Audiophile's Journey What’s up with that haircut? Can’t relate. I feel the same looking at the room. Both need a visual makeover. | |
| Two new Schiit Yggdrasil's released yesterday! I’d be willing take a Schiit for a test drive. Or maybe one of you very generous humans can give a Schiit to me when you’re done moving that Schiit around. I promise to cherish that Schiit and never take a Schiit without courtesy. | |
| A MEMBER IN NEED OF SUPPORT Relying on the Red Cross to help our hurting member is by no means the best way possible. I’m sure that members that have kept up with the controversies and Red Cross’ continued public flogging over their mistakes, know this as a matter of fact. T... | |
| Cables that measure the same but (seem?) to sound different It’s up to you to stand up for the facts: Different cables measure differently. People unwilling to pay for better cables, prey upon those that will allow themselves to bullied by misrepresenting the facts, to cover up the fact that they are poor ... | |
| Cables that measure the same but (seem?) to sound different Define: "measures the same." Cables don’t measure the same. That is not the argument. The argument is that you can’t hear the differences. That’s Gene’s argument at Audiochokerholics and they are the leading BS artists in the debunking game. | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope Plenty of speaker wire manufacturers pretending their products confirm to standards of definitions that they do not. It ranges from Canare star quad OFC bulk cable not actually being used in 95% of sales of terminated star quad cables sold singly ... | |
| The smallest tube amp Rather use the money on an iPhone DAC and Sony MDR-7506 headphones. Then get an HSU Research sub and powered monitors with the leftovers. | |
| Porsche GT = Grand TouringGTS = Porsche Badge that is not limited to the 911 Carrera. The 911 GTS is by no means a tarted up 911. It has a top speed of 193 MPH. It also lops off 6/10 of a second (3.2 vs 3.8) in the standard 0-60 MPH benchmark as compared... | |
| "All Things Must Pass"-Tower Records Documentary @millercarbon It wasn’t a couple of guys in Guns N Roses. It was Axl. I lived there. You are wrong. Also, your timeline is way off. Axl had been gone from Tower for at least 6 years before Weezer formed and hung out at the DeLongpre house in Holl... | |
| 60 Hz Hum from Powered Sub Have not read all responses. So at the risk of repeating, the most common cause for a subwoofer hum is cheap cable or a cheap cable that eventually went bad. Poor shielding is the most common exact culprit on a cheap cable. Power cord is also a po... | |
| Audio deals you bought that seem impossible for the price? Flash sale at Crutchfield for the CS9080 center for $611. Pay $1 now and the rest when the item ships 5 weeks from now. I look around after paying…still $1,199 at B&H and locally. Next day, the rest of the charge hits my card. I had planned to... | |

| Loudest Sound Ever? Hundreds? Thousands of miles away. At 160 miles away, you would have been left without hearing for the rest of your life. Anyhow, what an interesting way to advertise a Bluetooth speaker. We had a chuckle over that. | |
| Decent 25' Cable @auxinput I agree. The 4S11G should be the absolute minimum someone should consider. About $190 with 2-4 bananas at 25’ if you find the right seller. Pants and nylon mesh covers (multiple color choices) add a little cost but add their weight in ... | |
| Canare 4S11 Why are multiple audiophiles reporting that they are using the inferior version of an already inexpensive cable? Why go with 4S11 instead of 4S11G? Is it availability? Not knowing? |
