Used PS Audio BHK 300 monoblock or (2) new benchmark ahb2 bridged?
Hiss the dreaded monster the PS Audio BHK preamp (I've had 3 of them) is not as quiet as my other preamps like the Lyngdorf 60 (theater controller) or any of the solid state preamps I've had but I like the BHK preamp better than the rest because i... 
Why Do Cables Matter?
@cleeds My point about recording an actor making $20M and the amount of money a musician gets paid was not what I was talking about. If you have an actor like Tom Cruse, Anthony Hopkins, Jack Nicholson making $20M there is a boat load of pressure ...

@knownothing @thyname Wow thanks for understanding, honestly I came from physics, engineering, and acoustics in these fields they aren't understanding on audio goals being unverifiable they are antagonistic to it. I had the American rep of a big a... 
Why Do Cables Matter?
@thyname  Yes I do have a dedicated room for 2 track. This afternoon 6/22 a person from Steinway and Sons is going to look at my room so everything may change. I'm a little intimidated because of a lot of things I don't have on par with great audi...

@kevn Thank you for your thoughtful post.  Anthony Hopkins is one of my favorite people I've ever worked with, we did a movie in the Czech Republic. Understanding how something should sound like an actors voice is a really hard job, what the boom ...

@rodman99999 I read your link to Home Audio. It was great and reiterated many of my frustrations with the audio cable industry. Home run! I would buy some of this cable. This site answered my questions, I don't have anything more to ask. Thank y... 
Why Do Cables Matter?
@rodman99999 So your educated answer is, deflection. Everyone understands there could be an unquantifiable aspect of cables that helps sound systems sound better. In engineering, physics and math you look at an extreme example like the worlds mos...

@recklesskelly 20k on regenerators is stupid. No argument there. I bought one for my listening system and it wasn't big enough so I bought another simple as that. Now I use one for the listening system and one for the professional system in my lis... 
Why Do Cables Matter?
No one has answered this easy question. Why is it that the worlds most expensive and accurate machine made by ASML does not use AC cables that are in any way like expensive audiophile cables? Why don’t audio test equipment, oscilloscopes or DNA ... 
Why Do Cables Matter?
@rodman99999 Sorry I misunderstood your statement.     
Why Do Cables Matter?
@tjag Thanks for that, I don't believe in very expensive power cords like $2k and up, I have many thousands $ in power and interconnect cables over the years but it was never for sound quality but to save the power supplies and safety, I just know... 
Why Do Cables Matter?
@yoyoyaya Yes your correct on both points, I should have been clearer. Transfer facilities will not take time to resample your production sound if it is the wrong sample rate / bit rate or time code rate. Standard is 48k sample rate, 24 bit and 23... 
Why Do Cables Matter?
@knownothing Thank you for your great response, I really appreciate it. @tjag Thank you for your answers without getting so upset, believe me I challenge people at my church about theology and they give me the same upsetting responses I get in th... 
Why Do Cables Matter?
@rodman99999  //    #2:   You are wrong about DSP not making up for problems in the signal.  Yes you can fix many problems with DSP there are programs like Isotope RX that can pull out sounds in front of other sounds using machine learning tha... 
Why Do Cables Matter?
@thyname //And again why is it that audiophiles think they can add any information to the sound with expensive equipment and cables (yes, some people have delt with this question but I think they were all recording engineer who understand this con...
