| Oppo UDP - 205 Before you get too excited about 4K, do the research on screen resolution vs seating distance. Those 4K screens, showing 4K media, look gorgeous in the showroom when you are three feet away. No one sits that close in their homes. So, unless yo... | |
| Hearing is believing?........power cables....... What is wrong with the manufacturers of high end pre-amps, power amps, outboard DACs and disc/media players? Why do they continue to cripple us with lackluster power cables? Shame on them for being so chintzy. Could it be, maybe, that with all t... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... goeff:I said: "...the OP suggested, no...he essentially said, that the equipment in your test did not cost enough and therefore would only provide mediocre results."You said: "Actually the OP suggested no such thing. Good try."OP actually said to ... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... @ jinjuku: the OP suggested, no...he essentially said, that the equipment in your test did not cost enough and therefore would only provide mediocre results. There it is! The crux of the matter. Accordingly to him and other "subjectivists," spe... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... We who disagree with the value of high priced, "specialized" cables are not (really) saying we cannot "hear a difference;" we are saying that their is no difference to hear (once basic length/gauge requirements are met). We are your friends and t... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... Jinjuku = refreshing truth in a frothing sea of audio ignorance, expectation bias and other assorted BS. Well said, my friend! You can be my wingman anytime! | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... I agree with tubegroover. A live performance is a whole different animal from a studio recording (and a "live" recording is actually a third). Hmmmmmm...and a well recorded concert Blu-Ray performance is, I guess, a fourth ("Hell Freezes Over" com... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... @milpai:.On this forum, I sometimes feel like a father with decades of real world education and experience trying to get my teen to realize that "being cool" and "popular" is not that important in the scheme of things. Teens just don’t get it. I k... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... .....Or that the "difference" you hear is what you "want/need/paid" to hear. Even if it is not actually real. | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... azbrd: Thanks!!! One of the most clearly written, intelligent posts I've seen on the subject of digital A/V information transmission. You cannot make up science. Those that are "hearing" a better quality sound (especially via ethernet/HDMI/USB)... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... Speaker wire, RCA interconnects, XLR, power cords, crossover wiring inside REALLY expensive speakers, etc. And now, wait for it, whole home ethernet wiring. What the hell? Replace everything!What next? Re-run all home AC wiring with extra-homogene... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? dill.....Really?! What are you trying to accomplish here? Can’t imagine how long it took you to search, cut and paste all those snippets. I think... "Thou dost protest too much."We would all be better served if you would stick to the subject and n... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? dill: You are saying the same thing "to me" that you have said before. I only restated my position on this subject because I was called out "by name" in gmcleod’s post as he was "passing through."Also, I did not say: "Hearing a difference is moot,... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Actually, and I’ve said this before, and with science on my side, it is not that I cannot hear the difference, I do not believe there is a positive difference to be heard once basic, minimum cable requirements are met (gage/length). And even if th... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? zephyr24069 - While I agree with almost nothing you stated regarding expensive "high quality" cables, I found your response refreshing, polite and well written. Regarding the Rolex analogy; audio systems play music, watches tell time. You can ... |
