I see the issue with ABX blind testing
@audphile1  How do you explain cables being //Not difficult to hear// but impossible to see on a frequency or amplitude graph? Are the cables making a difference in sound apart from frequency and amplitude? I honestly want to know what you think. ... 
I see the issue with ABX blind testing
@audphile1 You say I wasn't there at the original recording, well I was I spend many many many many decades recording sound all over the world at the highest level in studios, churches, opera houses, castles trains and city streets I do know how t... 
Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews
I think what most audiophiles don’t understand is that audio measurements are easy and not very technical compared to many other measurements in science. Audio is slow and the frequencies are long the mechanics are simple. Testing the frequency ra... 
I see the issue with ABX blind testing
If a cable makes your music have a wider soundstage that only means that it is defective, you should have the soundstage the mixer intended you to hear. Soundstage is done by placing the instruments using a pan pot on the mixer one side of the mix... 
No discussion about the Synergistic Pink fuse?
it’s really easy just bypass the fuse and that’s the best. After that you’ll have something to compare it to.    
Best power cord for Audioquest Niagara 1200
Power cables are not power conditioners, a good AC power cord would act like no cable at all.  Why would anyone need a 1000$ power cable after you spend 30k$ on power conditioning. I have done this exactly, I'm drinking the cool aid so whatever. ... 
Dedicated 20 amp circuit. 10/2 or 10/3?
I made all the stupid mistakes with power that are possible, including not checking the electricians work when he set up a reversed neutral one of the times they wired my room.  I have a large house with sub power panels, I didn't take my home ru... 
One DAC to Rule it All
Lyngdorf makes a good processor that is in one box. Of course active crossovers are best but doing all the processing under one brain makes the most sense. There is no way to get the latency correct if you use a stereo , multi sub and surround sys... 
Yes, cables do make a difference -- regardless of price...
@jea48  I had a panasonic 3700 but the one made for portable recording, I got into so much trouble with it because it could never hold sync, the way the time code and the sample rate were derived didn’t work. Back then 35 years ago there were a fe...

@kirk9  Thanks for the note, but what I was getting at was the idea that only current moves in any circuit voltages and resistances change but current is the only thing that moves because current (I) is the measure of electrons moving by a specifi...

Have you ever thought of the fact that like AC cables the cable isn't what's important but the connections and the first connection inside the equipment. For some reason people think a crimped connection to a connection that only pressure scrapes ...

@kraftwerkturbo The company I was working for was building a new set of studios from the ground up and money was not a problem custom everything including famous speaker designer who came in and designed the speakers and wall they were mounted it ...

OK there are 3 major problems that audiophile people have that no audio engineer who records or mixes music concerning cables has and that is  #1- Of course a cheap cable is not going to sound very good there are many reasons why poor quality cabl... 
Cable Break In for the Naysayers
Here is a review of AudioQuest battery cable.   https://audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/audioquest-go-4-speaker-cable-review.37308/    
Cable Break In for the Naysayers
@akgwhiz @ozzy You say "if it can’t be measured it can’t be real" as a false argument. You are missing something very fundamental in electronics and physics, frequency changes can easily be measured on scopes that are much more precise than any...
