| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? Oh yes. Put your stereo at any price into an untreated gym and play it really loud. If you enjoy it that way, more power to you. I can attest to the fact that it is not fun to listen to a stereo in an untreated gym. I've been working on mine fo... | |
| Your absolute top ten favorite tracks. To Sheila - Smashing Pumpkins Black Night White Light - Frankie Goes to Hollywood Uninvited - Alanis Morissette Dissolved Girl - Massive Attack Atoms for Peace - Thom Yorke All are very unique songs that bring out the best in your system. The... | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing I moved the sub to the right, between the stand and the right speaker, about an inch behind the front of the speaker. I've also ordered a second sub. As for the cables, I'm satisfied with my assessment. I don't believe anything I do will result i... | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing 2) You wrote there are 7 PCs but it was not 7 PCs. Some were just repeat. It’s like a trap and bring a confusion. ABX implies that you listen to A, then B and then X which will be either A or B. Paul McGowan of PS Audio is of the same opinion t... | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing With usual my computer speaker (Bose companion 3),best sound (0:17), 2nd best (0:50), Worst (1:08). This shows the difference between listening to sound where we know what we're hearing and can be influenced vs a blind test. I was falling into ... | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing Do you think I recorded these samples a second time? I just plucked them off of the original and separated them with a dead spot from the original. There was no change in any equipment involved. | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing @mihorn You chose the JPS cord as the best & worst sound, the WT v2 was your second best choice. I agree with @mahgister they all sound the same. | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing Anyone in an optimized room with a balanced system want to give their impressions on the 7 power cords in this file? | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing OP - your room acoustics when addressed will be a better ROI than cables, in the current state of your system. Revisit cables after if you still feel the need to explore. I've decided to put some of the money I would have spent on these cables... | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing 1st, it’s hard to notice the sound difference with my system which is a really good sounding system. The sound is still good with a bad power cable. That's my concern with the cables I auditioned. There could be differences but they're very sma... | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing @mihorn I listened to that on my system & heard no difference between any of the 4. So I had my spouse choose the part to play while I had no idea which she was playing & I could not tell if she was playing different pieces or just the sam... | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing So yesterday I swapped the Mogami cables for the Transparent and spent the day and today playing songs I know well. I documented areas of each song that I found notable. Today I swapped back the Mogami. I know I said I'd wait a week but I wanted a... | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing So what model transparent? Super. | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing @dwcda so what are you hearing with the transparent cables in your system? Any conclusions? I just swapped my Mogami for the Transparent. To me they immediately sounded better but after 10 minutes of swapping it's really hard to tell. So I'l... | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing But professing what you perceive should apply to others’ perceptions and/or use cases? Better off having some evidence. I don't find that people do that. For the most part I've found that those who think cables make a difference will detail the... |
