What is an audiophile? Are you an audiophile?

6.5 vs 8 vs 10 woofer
larry5729, I am a reviewer for Dagogo.com, online magazine for 14 years. If you wish to see the speakers I have written up over that period, you can click on the "Staff" tab and look at my articles. BTW, "staff" is a bit of a misnomer, as I have n...

Wow, I was attempting fun, humor. Forget it.  :( 
Legacy Audio Aeris vs "V"
You are familiar with my reviews of Legacy Audio speakers at Dagogo.com? V, Valor, Whisper (several reviews of different iterations).Enjoy!  
6.5 vs 8 vs 10 woofer
oldhvymec, every so often I unload with both barrels. Usually only one. :) Actually, I have been working on improving my cardio. Lots of steps on the step mill, which is painfully tough if you push yourself, and purposeful deep breaths and exhalat... 
Cables, just as important as a hi end component?
You wouldn't believe the number of "thrifty" audiophiles who do just that. The end up with mediocre sound, all the while thinking they are genius. Worse, they mix cables ad hoc and figure they're oh, so smart. The community is stuffed with very sm...

Not this crap again! I showed how this guy made sweeping declarations about full range drivers, and that he was fundamentally ignorant of the fact that the brand he was boosting, Voxtiv, makes a sub with a crossover. OOOOOPS! Now, he is starting w... 
Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo
 These speakers would present no impedance problem. But, you would have to understand the state of amplification in the industry today to know that. Some audiophiles cannot separate personal fiscal policy, or revulsion to excess, from actual perfo...

I think they would be quite interesting to hear, based on the past two good showings of Maxx 3 and Lamm, and Alexx with D’Agostino.Owners certainly won't care what you think. :) 
Speakers The single most critical component
Transducer Tunnel Vision is deaf!  ;)  
Favorite cable brand.
Any recommendations where the cables were used in mixed sets should have a qualification. The house sound, how the cables were designed to sound as per manufacturer, is not obtained unless, and ONLY unless they are used in a complete set. I have d...

Overemphasize any part of the system. Wrong answer/solution.  
Chapman Audio recommitment
Great account, my friend! It's a glorious thing when long hoped for audio dreams come true! Congratulations!  :)  
You pay for it and you get it...
Back in 2010 I did a review for Dagogo.com on the Wharfedale Opus 2-3 Speaker and the Opus 2-M2 Bookshelf Speaker along with the SW380 Subwoofer; it can be found at Dagogo.comOver the years I have several times tried to create monitor/bookshelf/su... 
The Intellectual People Podcast - Galen Gareis (Former Belden Wire Designer)
Thank you, thyname and boxer12. Yes, an arbitrary threshold and methodology (testing/comparing only 1 cable/pair) that favors not spending money is nearly assured to yield an outcome that is more likely to be 1. more difficult to discern, and , 2....
