| Amazon Launches Lossless "Hi-rez" HD Music Service david_ten:Oops...no I had missed that article but I am (as you have read) in perfect agreement. And I thought the Hi-Rez Audio definition ONLY applied to equipment, not media. Did Amazon just wave a wand and change that? The world of music medi... | |
| Amazon Launches Lossless "Hi-rez" HD Music Service Amazon on Tuesday introduced CD-quality 24-bit “Ultra HD” music. I'm disappointed that Amazon has fallen into the depths of deception along with everybody else. CD quality is 16bit. Putting a 16bit recording in a 24bit "container" won't make i... | |
| Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality? mrearl (above) - a voice of reason is a sea of misunderstanding, dishonesty, naivete and confusion. | |
| The Absolute Sound "review" of USB cable reads suspiciously like a press releaste My "broad pronouncement" represents my opinion, based, over the years, on many disappointments. Recently replaced the Kimber Kables to my main speakers because they were not long enough in our new home. Spent about (oh, my god) $35.00 with Monop... | |
| The Absolute Sound "review" of USB cable reads suspiciously like a press releaste Just for the record, you have about 16,000 more "blah, blah, blahs" than I. Perhaps I have a life beyond Audiogon? | |
| The Absolute Sound "review" of USB cable reads suspiciously like a press releaste I would buy a very reasonably priced USB cable from Monoprice or other legitimate dealer. Makes no sense to pay a premium for Nordhost cables when there has never been a verified test where anyone was able to tell the difference. Every serious,... | |
| The Absolute Sound "review" of USB cable reads suspiciously like a press releaste Come on...its a Nordhost product. Starting out it is well made, over priced and of questionable efficacy. A poor value even if it does make a difference. | |
| Most useful tweaks that are sensible and really make a noticeable improvement There ya go! Evolution as stated by the cryo-Chef. Or maybe we should call it audio tweak creationism. | |
| Most useful tweaks that are sensible and really make a noticeable improvement Thanks, Gill. Geoff, I'm sure is an OK guy but perhaps a bit overly obsessed with tweaks and this forum. Me? I just love listening to music and changing my system now and then to keep things interesting. I have no interest in wasting time and ... | |
| Most useful tweaks that are sensible and really make a noticeable improvement Geoff says:Wow! I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone gets his panties in such a twist over some audiophile tweaks. Slow day at Subway, I suspect.My friend, if you think my two posts are so emotional that I can be described as having my panties in a... | |
| Most useful tweaks that are sensible and really make a noticeable improvement Although my previous comment was in jest, it does, in its own way, contribute to the discussion...by hinting, as useful information, that Geoff's recommendation about freezing electronic components and accessories is, in my opinion, a joke. Geoff... | |
| Most useful tweaks that are sensible and really make a noticeable improvement @geoff sez:Everything sounds better cryo’d. Even home freezing is highly effective and permanent.... This is very hush hush but there are others things to freeze at home or to send off to Cryo Lab but they’re beyond the scope of this discussion.... | |
| The Science of Cables All I can say is some people get hung up on measurement and are too quick to say don't waste your money because all wire sounds the same...snake oil. I agree with those that say trust your ears...all I really care about (with-in reason) is what ... | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? Nordhost Odin Cables/Wires. To connect my pre-amp, amps (two), disc player and speakers (not including power cords) $137,000.00. | |
| What the...have I just done ? Please explain... I am an analytical listener being in Hi Fi many years - what the hell have I just done from the scientific point of view ? Since when did the perceived results of these kinds of "tweaks" have anything to do with science? |
