| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords Ha, it takes no courage to anonymously discuss an experience with strangers. Audphile1 began a little rough but came around and offered some helpful info in the end. I appreciate comments from all, those who agree with me and those who don’t. I tr... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords Not when it's a 5 hour drive to your house from the store. Initially he said he would come when the equipment arrived but through our discussions he asked if I was ok to set it up. There was a local rep for Pure Fidelity that came out to set up th... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords Yes, but only with the Dragons. I'm returning them on Tuesday so I plan to listen to them for 2 days and then swap back for a couple. | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords I guess that's why blind comparisons are better. | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords I'd been considering a PS Audio 12 or AQ Niagara 5000. | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords Way ahead of you. I already moved them both to the wall and compared again. No change in sound but I'll continue tomorrow. But it's a power bar, the two units draw <2 amps, nothing else but this system is on the circuit, how is it being choked?... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords Oh relax. I put an ammeter on the surge protector that the amp & pre are plugged into and while playing music at my typical level they were drawing under 2 amps. The unit next to the Lumin is the Sbooster power supply as detailed in the OP. | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords I've moved the speakers out & closer a bit. The center of the speaker is now 55" from the back wall. The speaker centers are 82" apart and the listening position is 82" from the center of each speaker. I listened for awhile & I do like the... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords @zuesman I’m talking about the wall behind the speakers too. The front edge of the speakers is 4 feet from the wall behind them. But I’ll give it a try later today & move them another foot from the wall, change the toe-in and see what I think. | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords @zuesman The front edge of the speaker is 4' from the wall. I've tried other positions and this was the best for me. There is a 7" monster bass trap behind each speaker and a 17" square soffit trap in the corner. The soundstage is great. | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords @audphile1 The owner of the amp/cable company heard no difference. He still thinks that there is a reason for it and is working to help me determine why. Unlike you, my mind is not closed to other opinions. I have no skin in this game, my ego does... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords @rodman99999 If I believe in science to determine whether cables make a difference you say I'm in a cult. If I trust my ears and audition cables and decide there is no difference you ignore that and c/p reams of arguments that have nothing to do w... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords I am? Thank you for telling me how I feel! The shouting caps and repeated reference to the Church of Naysayers were my clues. That's not typically how calm differences of opinion are discussed. | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords When your proof relies on such words as speculations, seems likely (at least to me), lends credence, I would hope it's a given, just seems to me, not a big stretch to believe, I haven't tested this, it wouldn't surprise me.. you know you're speak... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords @rodman99999 I did exactly what you’re describing, I didn’t take anyone’s word for it, no one told me what to expect, I experimented with new cables 3x now and found no difference. I trusted my own senses. Yet still you’re pissed off at me for doc... |
