| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Mapman,"It just seems sillier when people spend large sums of cash on things to solve a relatively simple problem that might have been solved just as well or maybe even better perhaps for less."Very well said. This was what I was pointing out in m... | |
| I used to think passive preamps were superior to active preamps given right the setup, but Kernelbob, I too have the Tortuga Audio preamp with variable impedance. It is the best passive I have ever tried. However, my modded active preamp, which I bought used (no longer in production) and had it modded (under $500 total for preamp and mo... | |
| I used to think passive preamps were superior to active preamps given right the setup, but Georgelofi, I know the arguments for using passive preamps (including Nelson’s), as I am a big supporter of the passive route. Having used passives of all types for the past 9 years, I know the benefits. It’s just that this little modded active pr... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Geoff, how many times have you stuck your foot in your mouth by not paying attention to my words or twisting my words to fit your argument? Now you're changing the subject cuz you got nothing. Give it up. You're boring me. | |
| I used to think passive preamps were superior to active preamps given right the setup, but tbg, you're not getting an argument from me, and I've been using passive pre for years. I guess I just didn't meet the right active pre to make me change my mind. | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Watts, this is getting tiresome. Your choice of Nordost cables for your system explains everything. I don’t like wasting money on cables. Have a nice life. | |
| I used to think passive preamps were superior to active preamps given right the setup, but I do believe BK struggled with the passive vs active over the years and came to accept what his ears were telling him rather than what he was taught in engineering class. I don’t think this is the first time he’s telling this story just to sell a ... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Geoff, I have no problem presenting both sides of the argument if need be. I put the link of the Minnesota test on purpose. I thought you would realize that. So much for trying to give you some credit. | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Pennsy, there are so many reasonably priced cables to experiment with in your system that will give the sound you’re looking for without having to pay outrageous prices of these overhyped and overmarketed snake oil cables (like the one starting wi... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Geoffkait, no wiggling needed. You even quoted me, in which I clearly stated that I never claimed there is no difference in cable sound, and no test is perfect. I even stated cables can make a difference in sound in my original post. Was I not cle... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Here are links to blinded tests. No test is perfect, but it’s better than just believing there’s a difference without evidence or even worse believing in the manufacturer claims. I never claimed there is no difference in cable sound. I just think ... | |
| I used to think passive preamps were superior to active preamps given right the setup, but Georgelofi, I agree Bascom's comments have to be taken with a grain of salt given he is on PS Audio promoting his design. However, the same argument can be applied to you since you are a manufacture of LDR passive preamps. I myself own potentiom... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Mapman, I agree with you. We're expressing our opinions, no harm in that. But I draw the line at back seat third rate psychoanalysis! 😁 | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Watts, thank you for your online University of Pheonix psychoanalysis. I’m happy you’re crawling back to whatever hippy new age culture you sprang from that compels you to give psycho babble advice to someone you’ve never met. I’m very happy liste... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Geoffkait,"Lots of notable people don’t believe in things like high end cables, or say wire directionality or aftermarket fuses or fuse directionality and other things that have been around like forever. But that in itself doesn’t mean they’re not... |
