| Any thoughts on a solid hickory platform under my tt inna1,969 posts06-20-2016 2:34am"It appears that unlike cables audiophiles just don’t experiment with this. It is kind of surprising because the difference may not be subtle, especially when comparing maple to exotic woods."Actually audiophiles ex... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Re your argument that for less money other alternative methods can provide more benefits with respect to sound quality than spending big bucks on super expensive cables, nobody said they couldn’t. However, if you wish to use room treatments as the... | |
| Cartridge Performance vs Humidity inna1,969 posts06-20-2016 6:25am"My dynamic speakers react to the changes in humidity. When it is too dry or too humid they just can’t ’breath well’ and tell me to stop with every note they manage to sing. Cartridge doesn’t ’breath’ but there is a... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Just two things. Your negative or unsubstantial results actually don’t match what the majority of audiophiles experience with expensive cables, therefore your contention that expensive cables are not worth the price is unfounded. Two, your content... | |

| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Repeat after me, "It’s only a hobby. It’s only a hobby." In terms of price spread high end audio is not really a whole lot different from say model railroading, mountain climbing or stamp collecting or even baseball card collecting. There will alw... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I’m pretty sure the explanation is whenever there’s a thread on some controversial product or tweak the lurking naysayers and suspicious types and superstitious types get all worked up and emote all over the place. It kind of comes with the territ... | |
