| Opinions Golden Sounds DH Cones, I just bought some,they came in today One would have to be pretty short-sighted 👀and perhaps not have his thinking cap on, or a tad down and out to buy inferior springs for what amounts to the same price as those from your humble narrator. 😬 Talk about pinching pennies. | |
| ...amazed by 15+ year old interconnect... 15+ years old and still not broken in. If you want a new lease on life break then in on a Cable Cooker or at a minimum two straight days using the burn in track on the XLO Test CD or similar. You should also consider cryogenically treating then. B... | |
| Interconnect Directionality Think of it like fuses. If you have, say, four fuses in the system and don’t know whether they’re in the right direction or not, check the fuses one at a time by listening for which direction sounds best. It will be easier to do this as you go alo... | |
| Opinions Golden Sounds DH Cones, I just bought some,they came in today No, you cannot buy springs at an industrial supply place. You must buy my springs. | |
| Interconnect Directionality Quick, what planet are you on? | |
| Interconnect Directionality OMG 😲 My new favorite thread! | |
| Interconnect Directionality Jea48, just curious, did you forget to take your smart pill 💊 today? All (rpt all) stranded and solid core cables should be controlled for directionality, you know, to honor the inherent directionality of wire. What is it about that idea that puzz... | |
| Interconnect Directionality I don’t know. Why don’t you tell me?From somewhere on the Audioquest website,“DIRECTIONALITYAll drawn metal strands or conductors have a non-symmetrical, and therefore directional, grain structure. AudioQuest controls the resulting RF impedance va... | |
| Glutton for Punishment? Addiction is a weird thing. Like in gambling, you can be losing your shirt and still be having a good time. 🤗 It’s called negative reinforcement. | |

| Why does my old CD player sound so much better than my new streamer? By the time the data gets to the DAC its too late. The damage is done in the first picosecond as the laser reads the physical data on the disc. There's absolutely nothing you can do to reverse the damage once it occurs. Sorry to be the bearer of b... | |
| How much are AR AR3's worth these days? Pretty sure I saw some at a thrift store for $25. | |
| ...amazed by 15+ year old interconnect... The main problem with old cables is the electrons get slow and cranky. Rubbing the cables down with Geritol helps some. | |
| Do we really need anything greater than 24/96? Opinions? tomcy6Geoff, If the problem was lasers and optical discs, wouldn’t downloads and streamed music sound obviously better than CDs and SACDs?>>>>Good question. I don’t know. I am only addressing CD players. | |
| Opinions Golden Sounds DH Cones, I just bought some,they came in today An interesting experiment for those with lots of cones lying around. Construct a double layer wood stand for the component, using two maple boards or Baltic birch ply. Separate the two wood layer with cones, then place cones under the bottom wood ... |
