| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? Musician, Physician, EE degree, Ham, Audiophile. No, cables do not have burn in or have directionality. Many things CAN change such as your listening position, air density and your ears and brain. But for those who do believe in wires with magic p... | |
| Deleted Threads by Admin?? It IS an interesting topic. High End as usually discussed in this forum is essentially Right Wing as it is dependent in large part on large incomes or trust funds AND a tendency to make up it's own "facts". Note I said Hign End. Music playback e... | |
| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? Uberwaltz, it is not a pointless thread if it helps some understand the realities of the current market. The 'give to charity" is always a nice option. They will of course usually turn it over at the fast sale market price. (And an occasional luc... | |
| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? +1 glupson.High initial price and then the obvious suspicion it wasn't as great as hoped for, else why sell so soon. Very big discount off new- maybe worth the risk. Smallish discount - not. It's that kind of world. | |
| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? Audio products age....to dysfunction and minimal value. Tube heat damages things. Caps age out.. Resistors crack. Speaker composition ages. I will buy great older equipment IF it is cheap enough to justify the parts and time for eventual nee... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? Well gosh, if a group wants a discussion among folks who only want to discuss differences in cables they think they hear, with others of the same mind set, by all means do so and have fun. Just call it something other than "DO CABLES MAKE A DIFFER... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? RoachieGreat poetry man! For you cables DO matter and I share your passion for the music. I'm sure we would have fun celebrating Montiverdi and alot of the Dorian Catalog over a good port. We would just let cables slide... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? dlcockrumIt is an audio forum. But we audio nuts are a wordly sophisticated bunch so we know that to best understand the nuances of audio we have to have context in the greater universe of physics, philosophy and all of mankinds hopes and dreams.... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? Prof. Sadly I gotta tell you many docs DID and sometimes still do put up just such objections as you mentioned although now studies and their interpretation are taught early and often to the profession. Ironically I am one who does sometimes obje... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? Elizabeth I agree that many folks have valid reasons for enjoying the sound of expensive cables more than the cheap ones. Even bling and look, construction etc seems perfectly good reasons to spend more. My main problem is extraordinary claims mad... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? And yes djones51, welcome, all your thought are entirely resonable and many in this hobby agree but you will be amazed at the efforts and sometimes sadly, vitriol that may be directed at such "heresy". Keep your high water boots handy but enjoy yo... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? Prof I just want to re-enforce your comments on the profit incentive in the bolstering of unsupportable claims. This IS why the FDA steps in in medical claims requiring challenging testing to be a "player". Much is still allowed especially in the ... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? Just one more " vote" for newbies trying to sort it out, I know I won't change any minds for the vast majority. My background : EE degree, serious acoustic musician, well versed on subtle tonal nuances, very knowledgable about testing, stats, an... | |
| Interconnects and non-believers ".... I think that's a nonsensical way to go through life."Yes, well, it sort of all is. | |
| Interconnects and non-believers Cleeds: "That doesn't mean that everything we've heard is illusion."Couldn't pass this up! Maybe it is! We have all thought that at sometime in our life. Seriously though the role of day-to day-variation in our "internal" and "external" environ... |
