| Audiophile Priorities and Recent Topics I guess I’m not supposed to post here, but I will anyway. As a newbie this entire forum seems very divided. I’ve already gotten placed into categories after less than 30 posts. If you don’t want people to join or to stay around that is a great str... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @ unreceivedogma Because you refer to people who disagree as naysayers, and people like jerrybj call them narrow-minded, that’s why. Or people like guakus who claim they are deaf altogether. Fair enough. I shouldn’t have used the word naysayer. Ho... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope My earlier questions still stand. Why do the cable nay-sayers feel the need to argue so much? Why do you care if I don't agree with your opinion? I think cables make a difference and you don't. Fantastic! There is no need to resort to insults or d... | |
| Are you also leaving free (virtually) performance on the table? I saw an interview on youtube awhile back with Dan “Doc B”Schmalle. He is the owner of Bottlehead. He made this very same recommendation to clean all the input jacks several times a year. He mentioned how much better your system will sound just do... | |
| What process do you use to purchase cables? The Cable Company has a lending library of cables that you can borrow and try on your system for ten days. You get charged a rental fee (5% of the cable cost), but that gets applied to anything you purchase from them. It’s a fantastic way to try o... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope Why do you care what I spend my money on for my system? Why does it get you so worked up that you have to tell me that I don't really hear what I am hearing? If I feel like buying goofy looking cables, or anti-gravity isolation bases, or applying ... | |
| Focal 1028+Mcintosh MC275 You absolutely cannot go wrong with the MC275. It has plenty of power and it is so smooth. The dealer I purchased my MC275 and La Scala speakers from is also a Focal dealer. They were primarily using McIntosh SS amps with tube Pre-amps all the Foc... | |
| Amplifier for Cornwall IV I went the other route with my Klipsch La Scala speakers. I have an MC275 powering them. The amp is barely ticking over when I have the system running, but the sound is absolutely fantastic!Cheers! | |
| What is the #1 equipment want currently on your HiFi horizon??? A Schiit Lokius and a Schiit Yggdrasil "Less is More" DAC. Cheers! | |
| Allocation of analog resources @ghdprentice I adamantly disagree with this statement. I do understand that when you do a purchase like this it feels like a huge risk. But in reality it is not. Moving up in cost by 10x… unless you do something terribly wrong is a virtual gua... | |
| Cable Goop Review George is going to freak!! @boxer12 Yes & I highly recommend it. Thanks for the reply. I will definitely order a bottle. Cheers! | |
| Cable Goop Review George is going to freak!! Has anyone used this on their turntable cartridge connectors?Thanks! | |
| Help me decide on first turntable purchase @ wturkey Save some coin and try a U-Turn.This is great advice and I tell everyone that asks me the same thing. I did this when I got started. I wasn't certain if I would enjoy playing albums again. I got a basic U-Turn and I quickly learned I... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @adasdad When reading about different people’s experiences in hi-fi and somebody screams snake oil, I just look upon it as comic relief and nothing more.I agree with you 100%. I think this is a very healthy approach to the "snake oil" patrol. C... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope I used to be in the camp that believes that cables shouldn't matter to how my system sounds. A friend of mine convinced me to borrow a set of cables from the Cable Company to see if I could hear a difference between the Blue Jeans cable I was (pas... |
