| Anybody watch the Grammys tonight? Haven't watched it for years...just not that entertaining anymore.Celebrities sing and act mostly. Then when put on an awards stage they have to do something other than that. What do they do? Try to come across as being more intelligent than we... | |
| Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality? teo_audio: Don't forget, in your DIY cables, to do two things. Freeze all the components (with dry ice) for a few days before assembly and then after the cables are fabricated, duct tape some batteries to them. Won't need a soldering gun because... | |
| Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality? There is a market for expensive cables. That market is for those who spend the money and then truly believe they can hear a difference. If they believe they hear a difference, then they feel that their music sounds more pleasing and therefore is... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable Again....muddled point. Service after the sale, lunch, warranty, free loaner, etc. are all part of the "quality" component of the equation. Just like discount, kickback, freebies, etc. would all be part of the price component.A 2018 Audi without... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable chrshanl37: I suspect part of my apparent inability to gain acceptance from some to my very simplistic (but logical and correct) price/quality/value relationship is that these guys know me from other forum threads and will (likely) disagree stron... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable Here now is clearthink using this forum to flaunt his economic status (as he sees it) and making assumptions about mine which, besides being none of his business, are wrong. The value concept applies regardless of the consumer....it is not about ... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable cleeds....seems like you are just in a mood to argue. I don't have the interest or time. For almost all purchases, my equation is accurate. End of my participation in this issue. | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable Right, cleeds, I forgot to mention that there are consumers who blindly (or is that double-blindly) use a product's price as a measure of the product's quality. In which case, my equation would be invalid for them. | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable I always look for better for less. That often comes from, with the exception of clothes and groceries, buying a pre-owned (yes used) product. A couple precepts, among others, keep me out of trouble...one is that I typically have a price I will n... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable teo is either a scientist or a lawyer. Both, when writing, are often hard to understand. 😁 | |
| HI-FI NEWBIE NEEDS HELP! I drive my XPA-2 pretty hard (especially when the wife is out of town) and I've never had an issue at all! Also remember the Emotiva five yer warranty that transfers to new owners. | |
| The longest you have owned any gear? g_nakamoto: I could not afford the Bose 901's (as I recall) but in 1973 I did buy a Sansui QRX-6500 4-Channel receiver. I remember that I bought it in the Navy Exchange overseas (at a nice discount) for exactly $512.00. In 2018 dollars that is r... | |
| Thiel is officially closed!! Sansui stopped making quality equipment in the 80s...Nakamichi made the best high end cassette decks on the planet in the 70s and early to mid 80s. Both names were "purchased" by other companies to peddle junk equipment. | |
| HI-FI NEWBIE NEEDS HELP! If you like the Emotiva Pre/pro, then get a used (or new equivalent) Emotiva XPA-2 power amp. Maggies will love the 300w/8 ohm & 500w 4 Ohm power!! New about $1000.00. don't let others here convince you that you have to spend more. | |
| What’s in your system today that you also had 10 years ago? For me - nothing! Oh, forgot, I still have Kimber Kables to my main speakers. |
