| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Inna,"Dracule1, unless you are a rocket scientist you cannot say if this kind of science is required or not to design or build a great cable. You simply are not qualified to judge it from this angle.And another point. Some people have enough funds... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Facten,"ask dracule1 a question , what's the difference in making a decision to purchase an expensive (new or used) DAC like the Golden Gate when there are presumably good sounding less expensive DACs, and someone making a decision to purchase e... | |
| I used to think passive preamps were superior to active preamps given right the setup, but Georgelofi,"Except for some tube output sources which have ridiculous high output impedance (more than >1kohm). Or some ClassD amp that are very low input impedance (less than <10kohms). These users usually find something wrong with the soun... | |
| I used to think passive preamps were superior to active preamps given right the setup, but Paul79, I really didn’t think anyone would be interested because it’s no longer made and is considered mid fi to most. It’s the Acurus RL11 that was modified. Acurus was considered the little cousin to Aragon. The stock preamp is nothing to write ... | |
| I used to think passive preamps were superior to active preamps given right the setup, but System matching with passive pre is critical indeed. It can make or break the sound. You really don't have to worry about that with an active pre, which I find so convenient and much less of a headache. | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Oblgny,"We're nuts. Period." Thank you. That's the most honest and succinct answer to my original post. Have a nice day. | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Frankly, I have no issues with those who place "an extreme premium on getting a deal" because that’s the only way some people can afford things that are normally out of there reach. People like you who can afford expensive sports cars, mechanical ... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Oops, I’m not up to date pricing on BNC cables for digital gear. My bad. For that my apologies. It would be helpful if you put the pricing in your original comment. After all, this is about pricing of cables. You can’t automatically assume we know... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Inna, why wouldn’t you try a $300 cable? Just because of the price you’re assuming it wouldn’t sound good? IME, that is one of the biggest fallacies in high end. I gave it a try and found cables in this price range competing with cables 10 to 20x ... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Folkfreak, don’t be so sensitive. I didn’t lambast the dCS. It’s just not what I call realistic based on my experience as a regular concert attendee of classical and jazz music and as a classical guitar player. I love my Golden Gate DAC, but you w... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Watts, you're so weird. You're perseverating on the same issue over and over again. Are you sure you're not suffering from OCD? I'm worried about you. | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Watts, we don’t need to hear about your life story here. What’s with you and the psychoanalysis? You’re an engineer by your own admission. So you failed as a psychotherapist in your past life, and I'm sorry for your past failings. But this is not ... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Jafant, there are a lot in this range with some starting below $100. And like I said cabling is highly system dependent, and the only way you’ll find out if it’s good for you is to try it out in your system. Some of the manufactures I can recommen... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Folkfreak, have you ever tried cables in the $300 to $2000 range instead of $15k to $70k range? Or did you consider cables in this range below what you would consider given your expensive system? You stated cables sound different, which I agree wi... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Geoff, I gave you way too much credit. You’re vaporware. Not much to be gained by responding to your circular baiting , but I know you will continue cuz that’s what you get off on. Prove me wrong. But I know you’ll prove me right by posting more d... |
