Why Power Cables Affect Sound
jea48  The Curl/Parasound incident occurred numerous times.  He designed the equipment and they modified it to a price point which diminished the resulting product sound quality.  My own PCs are GroverHuffman.com Empress and Pharoahs which are lab... 
Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat
Oregonpapa and I both appreciate the music before the sound.  I have 7,000 78s and 1000's of CDs of historic pre-LP recordings which have fabulous performances.  With great remastering, the CDs present these recordings as dynamic and tonally rich,... 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
At another forum hosted by Roger Modjeski of Ramtubeworks, he specifically 100% denied that PC make any sonic difference other than adequate gauge.  His forum https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/does-anyone-care-to-ask-an-amplifier-designer-a-t... 
Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming
Yet, 50% of the sound is attributable to the room.  Room acoustics are more important on a percentage basis than a modified Lumin1.  The totality of the audio system equipment, media and tweaks is half the sound.  I'd like to know how your sound r... 
Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open.
Well ramtubes, we have 100% opposite opinions concerning the necessity for well designed power cords.  I am a beta tester for a boutique manufacturer.  I've sampled at least 50 designs and tested them against all types of high end cables.  When su... 
Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD
The rare and difficult to transfer correctly acoustic recordings prior to 1925 are currently not streamed and in the future, will require someone other than the owner of those recordings in 78, LP or CD format to permit or actually do the transfer...

Thank you.  You are the first poster who agrees with me.  Two other posters said I was out of my mind on other forums.   
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
High Fidelity Cables - Hard, bright, forward sounding, harmonically thin. My friends and I experienced these ICs and PCs at various audio shows at about 18 rooms and in 2 homes (replaced after our substitutions). Even the old Monster Cable 300... 
Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming
I first got the audio/music bug at 5 years old when listening to my uncle's 5 way mono box speaker system with a 15" woofer powered by Heathkit pre-amp and amp and an AR turntable back in 1961.  Sure, it wasn't high resoultion or stereo.  So what?... 
Sound Quality of red book CDs vs.streaming
I have experienced the apparent superiority of DVDs, Blurays and 4K blurays to streaming 1080 and 4K videos over the internet on a Sony 940D 75" monitor (I employ higher end cabling and a Synergistic Research black duplex with Stillpoints for vibr... 
Audiogon member suggestions for a speaker that sounds good at low volume!!!
I'd like to audition the Von Schweikert VR-55K and the Lumenwhite Kyara, both high efficiency, easy to drive speakers which could play quietly and beautifully. 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
What makes a positive difference in PCs is the design of the PC, not the cost.  I've heard $5K PCs that sound awful in several systems and every time I mention the manufacturer, someone says the opposite.  But I've tried well designed, less expens... 
Audiogon member suggestions for a speaker that sounds good at low volume!!!
Funny thing is that I've heard my friends AvantGarde Trios with triple basshorns which are 110db efficient; however, they don't sound good unless played moderately loud.  My own setup allows me to hear my music softly at 70-80db, moderate and usua... 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
I haven't read all 10 pages of posts but here's another example of an extreme difference between PCs.   My EAR Acute CD player came with a cheap computer grade PC.  I switched to a Audioquest PCs NRG 3 and 5s.  The result was nearly the same, slow... 
Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open.
ramtubes - So, you don't believe power cables make a difference other than connectors and isolation transformers are worthless?  Is that correct?
