| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords No sarcasm. There are no audiophile credentials. My neighbors are as able to hear discernible differences in sound as you are. For some the entire premise of these threads when someone describes how two sets of cables sound the same is to diminish... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords You know I’ve read the criticism of ASR and how badly they treat people with different opinions. My goal on posting my experiences here is not to stir up crap and cause trouble. If anything I’m providing a counterpoint. I’m not bashing those that ... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords Proving that either your ear is immune to the differences or your system is just downright amazing and is resistant to any cable changes. There is a third possibility. | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords There was no noise with my neighbors on the previous post. I said that I had neighbors interested in hearing the difference but my opinion of the sound is all that matters to me as I’m paying for it. Funny thing, you responded that Neighbor blind ... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords It wasn't meant to be sarcastic. When you said "I never heard the AQ Dragon" I misread that as I never heard of the AQ Dragon. What part of my post is unbelievable? The fact that I heard no difference? Not much I can do to prove that. Or do you d... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords AQ Dragon is the top of the line power cord from Audioquest. My neighbors both have ears, 2 channel systems of their own and have spent time in my house listening to my gear. But you're right, they didn't show me their "audiophile" credentials. | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords I have Mogami cables made by Take Five Audio in Canada. The speaker wire are Mogami 3104, XLRs are Mogami 2549 & the power cords are Powerline 10 with Furutech connectors. All cables are quite well made and I’ve been using them for about 5 yea... | |
| Audiophile frame of mind The only thing funnier than thinking that uber expensive power cables will make a noticeable difference is demanding that those cables be pre-burned in. Two myths for the price of one. | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing How is this so complicated? It is very, very straightforward. You quoted my post and ended the quote before the reason it's difficult was stated... But from what I can see the benefit, if there is one, will be most noticeable system wide. In o... | |
| Audiophilism is a hobby From what I can tell an Audiophile Billy is anyone who does things differently than the way I do. If my system is inexpensive and my records scratched, it's the guy with Wilson speakers, McIntosh amps and UHQR records. For some it's the authors of... | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing It seems that most people on both sides of the cable debate accept the fact that the placebo effect is real... if someone is in pain & a doctor gives you a placebo & tells you that it will cure your pain, you may find pain relief. If a sig... | |
| Turntable advice Probably late to the game, but I received my Pure Fidelity Harmony a week ago & love it. They just started offering it with the Audio Origami arm & I prefer it to the Illustrious that I initially received (had an issue & had to be rep... | |
| I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue I get what OP is saying. Every so often I read some recommendation of Blue, or I see it's offered on Acoustic Sounds as a 45rpm Ultradisc & I think I should revisit it & see if like it. Each time I try I get about 3 songs in & have ... | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing do you think i tune my room by ears with 100 resonators with astonishing results but all is wrong because my eyes were open ? Odd argument. No one but you thinks that you tune your room with 100 resonators with astonishing results. You make ... | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? Yeah I've got an area rug that I plan to put there and see if it has any effect. Aesthetically I don't need it but if it improves the SQ I'll move it in and out as the room function changes. |
