| Hi end audio equip sounds better today than in decades past due to tech - T/F No, no truth to it at all. Same with cars, planes, medical equipment, bicycles, telescopes, rockets - nearly anything you care to name as technological equipment. No way a new item can outperform the old. Really, there is no reason for technologic... | |
| Floorstanding Speakers on Platforms You will hear a difference if paying attention to things such as the relative height of the soundstage, the locus of the drivers, etc. The reason you will hear the difference is almost entirely to the elevation of the speaker, and has much less to... | |
| Corpse Cable - Opinions Please With appropriate music, causes necrosis. ;)(That is a joke, in case someone wants to get offended) | |
| All New Totaldac D100 Loudspeakers....The HOLY GRAIL OF SPEAKERS ?! Sorry, not impressed. That is very simple music to reproduce, and in no way shows what purportedly would be the definitive advantages of such a speaker. Any number of speakers can do that, even ones at far less MSRP. Fail.BTW, I have no axe to gri... | |
| All New Totaldac D100 Loudspeakers....The HOLY GRAIL OF SPEAKERS ?! An interesting design, but with some idiosyncrasies. | |
| Magico compared to Tannoy MG vs. Tesla about captures it. :) Either one could be sublime, or tough to take. Depends upon the skill of the system builder. | |
| Can Streamed Music Sound Better than any other source? I have a much superior system than I might otherwise because I did NOT expend thousands on an analogue rig, and further thousands, and perhaps tens of thousands, on a vinyl collection. I do not believe I would enjoy the gratification I have now ha... | |
| Class D amps that are superior to all or most? TSUNAMI COMING! | |
| True or False? This question absolutely cannot be discovered by simple observation. One has to ask inane questions on a forum in order to arrive at a practicable solution. What next? Whether paint color influences high end electronics more than low end electroni... | |
| Favorite cable brand. rilbr, I have, in fact compared internal cables in speakers, and I write about such things in my reviews. There can be quite an improvement when the speaker is involved in matching brands. The argument about components is nonsense, a desperate plo... | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo If audition_audio wishes to learn something, my next amp review will explain my comment above. Perhaps if audition_audio is willing to humble himself, he could learn something, and gain improved performance for his Quad 63 from my advice. | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? Meanwhile, as our friends debate in the hall, I will retire to the lounge, where I will listen to some wonderful music on a system that has been optimized by comparisons of entire sets of cables. Imagine that, what a concept! No, I'm not really ... | |
| Favorite obsolete formats..... The Golden Record aboard Voyager. Probabilistically, a complete waste of time and effort. | |
| 6.5 vs 8 vs 10 woofer Thank you, mahgister! | |
| Pathos Classic One MkIII vs. Krell S-300i I wrote reviews of the Classic One (original) and MkIII for Dagogo.comI did not invent the idea of "Pathi" (two units used in Mono), but reviewed it as such. A very nice improvement over single unit without faltering in terms of the lovely charact... |
