| Has Anyone Found Shunyata Cables Sounding Thin? Sabai, I recall you working with the "series" concept a while ago, and I sincerely applaud your creativity and persistence. However, I feel you are disadvantaging yourself with this method. For every change achieved by adding an unnecessary interc... | |
| BANG for the BUCK Usually what's owned is considered an exceptional value when it comes to performance. Who wishes to be considered a fool who overpaid to achieve good sound? | |
| Rockwell: audiophile term "just like a pedophile" Obvious typo; should be "A lot of headphones..." | |
| Rockwell: audiophile term "just like a pedophile" An lot of headphones/amps reviewed for someone who claims not to be an audiophile. Following Mr. Rockwell's line of reasoning, like a pornographer, the word photographer indicates someone with an illicit involvement in images; fixation on cameras,... | |
| Have I Hit The Point Of Diminishing Returns? Macrojack, from my perspective you are the one who seems not to be able to get it. The law of diminishing returns is simple; we get it. What you don't seem to see is that you have set the point of diminishing returns painfully low, and others disa... | |
| Have I Hit The Point Of Diminishing Returns? I drive a Toyota Camry, and I'm happy with it. Thus, there is nothing more to gain by buying a fancier, more sporty car. This is infallible logic, as applied in this thread to audio systems. Of course, this vehicular and audiophilic logic is drive... | |
| Custom Audiophile Speaker Builders Bajaed, congratulations! I reviewed the Nimbus White for Dagogo.com, and own them. What speakers did you get? What are you running them with in terms of electronics, if you care to share? | |
| Have I Hit The Point Of Diminishing Returns? No, you have not hit he point of diminishing returns, not even close! There are many, many levels/steps of quality and dozens remain above where you are now. I am not saying this to belittle your system; you have great gear and I'm sure it is grea... | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC Utterly failed my Law of Efficacy; a real waste of time tweak. About once a year or so I try such a tweak to revisit my standards of improvement of a system. And as would be suspected, this seeming wondrous trick failed miserably. I tried not just... | |
| Any thoughts on removing a preamp from your system I do it all the time when reviewing various pieces; results vary widely. If you can do so, try it. But there is no universal acceptance, nor performance guarantee when doing it. | |
| Top brand speakers Most speakers offered in high end shops have merits; you could start by perusing the audiophile brick and mortar sites to gather some brands to consider. You may wish to spend the money to go to an audio show; while not a perfect auditioning envir... | |
| A New Superstar Power Cord A person can get such a euphoric response with any number of power cords/brands. I have been through literally dozens, and the variance in performance between them is surprising. | |
| Wilson Benesch Square 5 and Square 3 speakers Seeing as how no one has responded to your polite inquiry, I have some tangential experience which may be helpful. I reviewed the WB Curve for Dagogo.com, and you may find some helpful info on that assessment of the speaker. Your room is not too d... | |
| Looking for "realistic" speakers NO, No, NO! "They only gave about $5K for speakers, so that looks like my speaker budget." NO! Larrybou, don't get trapped in the compartmentalization of the previous allocation of funds for the system. If I understand correctly, you have new, fre... | |
