| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts My problem is the absolute conviction/statements that cables that measure the same, sound the same. That tweaks that address vibration, acoustics and just plain static are worthless, These items especially if they are considered expensive and poss... | |
| Bragging rights..... Good for you, makes life easier. I want to remain hands on (until I can't, maybe when I (hope) to be in my late 90s. I purchased the tube gear (phono, pre and monoblock amps) from two people who chose to go solid state with all in one receive... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? Yes, go ahead and measure my Synergistic Research Atmosphere X Euphoria SPDIF digital cable. I would pay $25 to find out how it measures. But I'm not sending it to you, you'll have to acquire one on loan from a retailer, SR or someone else using... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? As to tweaks, I say try it and if you like the sound results, keep it. Otherwise, return it. I tried many footers when a dealer continued to send them to me to evaluate. One was terrible under all equipment and about 8 others were more similar tha... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? The review of the Belden (Blue Jeans) Iconoclast XLR cable measurements appeared about the same to me as the Canare, the difference was the extreme price difference. The Iconoclast designer indicates that it should sound different due to construct... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @holmz You are correct. He could have needed better fuses or IC cables or something else. However, several other friends tried the Pangea power cable. No go. They disliked it compared to whatever they had been using. I know how great my power ... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @mitch2 After reading your post concerning the Benchmark L4, you mentioned having sought out pre-amps exceeding $10K cost. I would recommend the Audio Research SP28 at $12K if you could afford it. Only if you change the input tubes to 6N6 or 6H6... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @westcoastaudiophile +10 Even his own member Mr. Hooper/Prof chooses and inferior distortion unit A over superb measuring unit B component (CJ versus Benchmark L4) for it’s possibly easier to listen or enjoy in his system. Personally, I think that... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @westcoastaudiophile No, I absolutely don’t believe that. After testing 100s of cables, I know for a fact on various systems, that the most expensive cables are often inferior (sounding). High Fidelity cables using large magnets in line is one of ... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @westcoastaudiophile I don't know of any high end/expensive/boutique cable manufacturers who provide testing measurements of their cables. I certainly don't know how the better sounding cables measure. Similar to my prior occupation as a commerc... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? One of those best friends had worked part time a decade+ ago for a major audio high end retailer. He brought home a lot of equipment. He was generally dissatisfied. It is when he met my best friend (Golden Ear and remastering engineer) that he set... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @kota1 and @coralkong We obviously think alike. There is a point of demarcation, especially for trained listeners, where we know what we are hearing and can over 30 days make a "sound" decision. I guess in the circle I run with, remastering ... | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts Mr. Hooper/Prof and Martin are the most interesting members of ASR I've read. I've only skimmed the surface of topics (perhaps two dozen) because so many do not interest me as in very low priced new gear (I'm quite happy with my system). I defin... | |
| Nearly all manufacturers do not advertise/exhibit their product measurements? Why? @amir_asr You are such a know it all. Such a foolish person. I don't why I answer except you are on Audiogon lecturing us. My neighbor and friend was ashamed of his system when I lent him ONE power cable for his amp. He had the habit of cha... | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts @russ69 It could have been the increasingly difficult remarks or my request to remove trolls like Amir and or crymeanaudioriver (my opinion, maybe not yours).. The moderator has been very responsive to me. I will ask to have the site relisted i... |
