| Interconnect Directionality Of course you can come up with ridiculous examples that are exceptions to the rule, like Kimber braided stranded cables. If the strands were arranged arbitrarily then some strands would be in the correct direction while some wouldn’t. That would b... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... The Last Tweak Syndrome. Just when you swear your system can’t possibly get any better you do something that makes you say, Wow, now it’s twice as good! Then you’re thinking, now it REALLY can’t get any better. Then you do something that makes it ... | |

| I am Looking for That Elusive 3 Dimensional Room Filling Soundstage Actually, not to be too harsh, but you guys seem to do fine chasing your own tails and spinning your wheels without any help from me. | |
| Do we really need anything greater than 24/96? Opinions? That reminds me. I have a bunch of the Abkco 2002 DSD Rolling Stones CDs. Are they really DSD mastering or something else? They do sound very good, I’ll say that. | |
| I am Looking for That Elusive 3 Dimensional Room Filling Soundstage mapmanFrom a technical perspective, streaming is a much more robust process than reading data of an optical disk (CD) in real time. All my CDs get ripped first right up front then streamed. Even off my smart phone in the car. I never "play" CDs an... | |
| I am Looking for That Elusive 3 Dimensional Room Filling Soundstage An important part of the puzzle is every time you add/change/delete/upgrade room treatments you must then reestablish ideal speaker locations. Sorry to be the bearer of bad gnus. 🐂 🐂 🐂 | |
| Interconnect Directionality Just two comments. Directionality in wire is independent of shielding. Directionality is audible and repeatable and transferable for any unshielded interconnect, speaker cable, power cord. If the cable or cord is shielded that overlays another dir... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... Obviously you did something wrong. That’s kind of the way the cookie crumbles. 🤗 | |
| Audio Truisms or Plinthy statements “The great sound was in the room all the time. You just weren’t able to hear it correctly or completely.”- Peter Belt | |
| Audio Truisms or Plinthy statements That’s not true all. If it was true we could never progress. | |
| Do we really need anything greater than 24/96? Opinions? OK here are the 3 big problems I see 👀 regardless of what format the disc is. Two of the problems involve vibration - structure-borne vibration, acoustic and other mechanical vibration (motors, CD transport, transformers, etc.), and vibration of t... | |
| I am Looking for That Elusive 3 Dimensional Room Filling Soundstage I hate to rain 🌧 on anyone’s parade but no amount of room treatment can fix the horrible mess created by CD players, generally speaking. If anyone in the DC area wants to hear what a real soundstage sounds like - not the usual congealed, thin, pro... | |
| Sound Labs Wins! Why wouldn’t we believe you? 😳Follow-up question: what kind of audiophile fuses were they using? 🙄 | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... Is that a promise or a threat? Oh, and while you’re away see if someone can loan you a sense of humor. |
