| Power cord replacement on a Node 2? This is a least common denominator change. What would you expect to get from a $50 cord? In order to get some serious changes you have to spend some money, not see how cheap you can be. :( | |
| Cassette Deck?? Man, this is giving me the itch to play the Nak CR-1A. Has anyone tried recording to tape from File Playback to DAC, then to deck? I’ll bet it would be fascinating to see what kind of recording you would get. I’m thinking I could go from Salk Audi... | |
| Best interconnect burn-in method Unless a person has done testing they have only opinions. You can read about my experience at Dagogo.com in the article entitled "Audiophile Law: Thou Shalt Not Overemphasize Burn In" | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... Al, my experience shows very obviously otherwise; the Ethernet cables do not change their character based on the rest of the system. I have changed speakers and amps, and they still confer the same benefit, or in some cases lack of benefit, and wi... | |
| How often do you clean cables? And which types do you clean most often? I am done wasting my time and experience on you, randy-11. | |
| How often do you clean cables? And which types do you clean most often? randy-11, I could spend more time probing what I see as weaknesses in your latest answer. But, I am not interested in carrying on this indefinitely. How about we have a gentleman's agreement; you stop mocking (me and others who have a different pe... | |
| How often do you clean cables? And which types do you clean most often? My suspicion would be that if I have cables that have been used regularly and do not show obvious signs of oxidation they would not sound appreciably different in comparison to an identical cable which has been cleaned. Agree or disagree? I do pla... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... azbrd, as I and grannyring have said many times in the past and now once again, we are well aware of the theoretical inability of such cables to influence the sound, however, obviously theory is insufficient to explain the obvious differences. Are... | |
| What year did tube lose to SS The next question is; when did class D supersede class A and A/B? ;) | |
| How often do you clean cables? And which types do you clean most often? dgarretson, imo the efficacy of contact cleaners would be in the purported sonic change, not the amount of oxidation removed. I suspect that it might not pass my Law of Efficacy. But, rather than simply prejudge I will conduct a comparison between... | |
| How often do you clean cables? And which types do you clean most often? bcowen, nope, not trolling. Here is some background for you to understand my posts. randy-11and I have an ongoing debate in regards to how to set up systems. He insists that people who recommend aftermarket cables should do ABX testing because he ... | |
| How often do you clean cables? And which types do you clean most often? I think you make recommendations based on nothing more than your listening impressions and biases.My guess is that Deoxit treatment would not pass my Law of Efficacy. But, since I have not done so, I would be foolish to condemn it unheard. So, I'm... | |
| How often do you clean cables? And which types do you clean most often? I don't think you could pass ABX on Deoxit or gold connections. | |
| How often do you clean cables? And which types do you clean most often? randy-11, Have you conducted ABX testing on the use of Deoxit? Have you conducted ABX testing on the use of gold plating on connections? | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... Shadorne, you are correct; the last sentence was rude and should have not been typed. Apologies to the community. My comment regarding cognitive dissonance is sincere. I had serious doubts about the efficacy of the aftermarket Ethernet cables, and... |
