why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable
Love to spend 10k on cables because they sound way cool.+1They sound even cooler once you've reversed their direction. 
It's Simple
I think the thoughtful and purposeful moderator’s have done an exemplary job in undertaking the management of these forums and in particular have acted swiftly and decisively to delete repeated posts by those who would seek to defraud the audiophi... 
why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable
....and even had your fraudulent representations deleted by the forums thoughtful and purposeful moderator's....I do recall a number of your threads were also deleted.As to fraudulence, I look at a bit differently. As soon as I mentioned my ration... 
It's Simple
It's a pleasure to read an Audiogon thread where Geoff is totally ignored, in spite of his attempts at garnering attention. Audiogon ought to modify their policy where moderation is concerned. Just my opinion, of course. As the thread suggests, "i...

why do people feel the need to buy expensive cableBecause their "feeling" morphs into a non demonstrable "belief".

We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses
This debate gets tiring after a while. @genez Try hearing a sonic benefit in a blind test. That'll end the debate. 
We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses
I've tried three different brands and they all had their own sonic signature and each brand sounded better in one direction over the other.Just curious if you were able to detect a sonic difference between brands an/or changing their direction via... 
New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions
Thank you @david_ten It's a glowing review. I find his comment "I have listened to $50,000 DACs that I can’t say sound better" perhaps an exaggeration, but if this is his honest opinion then that's okay too :)Not specific to the review, I do like ... 
An experiment worked; how to proceed?
A lot will depend on your budget and how "permanent" of a modification your willing to accept. Personally, I use a relatively inexpensive and non-permanent option of acoustic foam panels and foam bass traps.And if I’m not mistaken, the info you re... 
One of the best HDMI cable?
...one of their newer HDMI cables controlled for directionality...Have you tried one direction or the other to see/hear for differences? If so, please report back your findings. Thanks. 
Delta Sigma DACs
Then why do R2R DACs sound better than Delta Sigma?In fairness, better or worse sounding is somewhat subjective and at the discretion of the ear of the listener. That said, and based on the relatively few delta-sigma and multibit DACs I’ve heard, ... 
How to "mount" acoustic foam ?
I strongly suggest Velcro strips if you are mounting light weight foam. Since moving the pieces around to get best result will probably occur, you can’t beat them for semi permanence. Agreed, wherever possible. Velcro may not be strong enough for ... 
Oppo Vs Esoteric
Oppo vs Esoteric ... I mean, it’s just not a fair fight. Presumably, there are many who would agree. And again presumably, it's for this reason (or at least one reason) that Oppo owners seek to "modify" the stock unit. But they are two different ...
