| Best isolation cones No question about it, the NASA grade ceramic Super DH (diamond Hardness) Cones from Golden Sound. | |
| In defense of ABX testing I'm not sure I agree about your frequency response predictability since a given speaker can sound dramatically different from one room to the next. This is the objection to anechoic chamber frequency response measurements, I.e., they have no relat... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Mapman, even better, they are both Rick Schultz. That would be way cool!! | |
| Hey Elizabeth Where you be?? I heard through the grapevine she's with child after a freak Teleportation Tweak mishap. | |
| In defense of ABX testing To assume that the system used for the test is operating perfectly, that it is sufficiently revealing for the specific test, to assume that listeners have sufficiently good hearing and know what they are listening to or for, these are all unknowns... | |
| Floored by the Sound Quality of TEO Liquid Pre The toe liquid cables are definitely an interesting technology. Whether they can compete with the newer magnetic conduction technology cables from High Fidelity Cables is another story. Hopefully someone, hint, hint, will get around to doing a rev... | |
| In defense of ABX testing Scientifically valid is the key phrase. There is no agreement in the scientific community with respect to audio tests. In fact, the scientific community could give a rat's behind about audio or audiophiles or testing audiophile devices, any of tha... | |
| In defense of ABX testing Judging from the AES paper by Olive the listening tests are, in fact, excessively complicated, a criticism he dismisses. Furthermore the listening tests apparently involved only frequency response. What happened to other audiophile parameters such... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Mapman, one assumes you're referring to Judge Judy. | |
| In defense of ABX testing Zd542 wrote,"For years I've been asking them to show me the tests." I suspect maybe you've been asking the wrong people. Nobody is denying the difficulty in devising tests that work like they're supposed to, I.e. demonstrate whether A is better th... | |
| In defense of ABX testing There is no such thing as a test that can be be generalized. Someone else may get entirely different results. Then which test is correct? And who decides? | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz "Also, when they annihilate they produce a pair of 511 Kev photons that travel 180 degrees from each other. Probably not what you want happening in your listening room! ;-)"Only if it improves the sound. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz "Swampwalker, just a quick point about positrons that I mentioned in my previous post. Although they do exist, they are only produced during very specific radioactive decay processes. They are not in natural abundance and would likely not be invol... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Antielectrons. Way cool! | |
| The end of pono? Oh, great, the article turns out to huge double blind testing rant. I did not see that coming. |
