| Clarity Cable Review MIT Oracle series. I no longer recommend any passively networked cables. | |
| Looking to upgrade my towers That particular Mirage speaker I would consider a Lo-Fi to perhaps lower end Mid-Fi speaker. Imo, based on specifications it is a design incapable of delivering a HiFi experience. I strongly suggest you save up your money and move in an entirely d... | |
| Small room electrostat/ planar speaker? If you wish to stay with a planar sound character you may wish to check out two companies I have reviewed; Eminent Technology and King's Audio (Kingsound), both of which have hybrid planar speakers. | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... I have now added Supra Cat8 to the survey. | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... Ok, that was fun. Now that we have the objections duly noted...Meanwhile, the comparisons continue. Who else has done a comparison and what was your preference? | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... jinjuku, as you said, " The upstream amp, cabling, speakers, room interaction, are all moot because they aren't in the loop." Do you have any idea how many times I have heard that both from people who have or have not done testing as you have? It'... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... "JETTA’S THE GREATEST CAR IN THE WORLD," says the inexperienced. LOL | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... jinjuku, I have not listened to the composite track you made; it's not necessary. I am willing to accept that you were unable to get significantly different sound given your test. I am guessing that your system is sufficiently poor that it cannot ... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... jinjuku, an interesting test! Let me see if I understand this correctly; you used the "twin CPU" method, ie. one tower for a library, and the other for the file playback? That is what I presume when you say, "I set up a second machine..." I have a... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... schubert, you obviously need to join a car club to gain appreciation of the auto. ;)I'm not interested in discussing the need for nature; I enjoy taking walks outside, and I recommend you do as well if you think you're losing touch with nature. It... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... tubegroover, you are on track. I am not intending to suggest that the recreated performance actually can capture the real thing, but will always only be an approximation. However, you and I realize that there are many more levels of sound quality ... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... schubert, the sense of exploration/travel I suggest is also, "an inherent , built in hard-wired element of being human in all places in all times," as well. How it is conducted, by walking, bicycle, train, plane, or car varies. You suggest that m... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... schubert, so from your response I take it that the condition of the experience riding from point A to B is immaterial. We here at Audiogon are engaging in what is supposed to be a highly aesthetically pleasing activity. We have too many people att... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... Shadorne, you are like a guy who owns a VW Jetta and says, "It doesn't get any better!" :) | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... shadorne, if audio gear did as you describe I would consider it junk and tell others to avoid those manufacturers. :( |
