| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? Here’s two tweaks that might surprise you. SONEX foam panels and lead shot. Two of the worst materials ever foisted on gullible and easily influenced audiophiles. Lead seems like such a great material for audio - massive and dense but not too hard... | |
| The term "High End" needs to die. Long live Hi-Fidelity! Hi Fi, Mid Fi, Lo Fi, what’s the diff? 😳 | |
| What Sonically is the Difference between a $1,500 CD Player and a $10K-$25K One? An anti-shill is as good as a shill. Keep up the good work! | |
| Directional cables - what does that really mean? andy2At least it gives me something to chew on while I am sipping Cabernet Sauvignon lols. >>>>One assumes you mean instead of your cud. 😬 | |
| What Sonically is the Difference between a $1,500 CD Player and a $10K-$25K One? As long as it stays in the background. Like yourself, perhaps. The trouble is you don’t go away. On the positive side it’s nice to have followers/stalkers. 🤗 | |

| What Sonically is the Difference between a $1,500 CD Player and a $10K-$25K One? Good point! I made the same point five days ago. I call it the Hierarchy of Sound. All CD players regardless of price are subject to the deleterious effects of vibration and background stray laser light. Therefore, one would be better off buying a... | |
| What differences should I be hearing as my new system breaks in? I have quite a few of the Abkco 2002 Stones DSD CDs. They are all fabulous! 🤗 Check out Through the Past Darkly, which is about the cost of a six pack on eBay.As one can plainly see from the data even the SHM SACDs from Japan 🇯🇵 are quite compress... | |
| Directional cables - what does that really mean? Going beyond directional cables for just a sec, how many other things in the audio system should be controlled for directionality? Even pseudo skeptics should feel free to join in. 🤔 | |
| What Sonically is the Difference between a $1,500 CD Player and a $10K-$25K One? Exactly! You catch on quick! | |
| Quick and free fuse tweak The other way to eliminate the heartbreak of fuses is to do as I did and go to a portable battery powered CD player like a Sony Walkman or Panasonic made in Japan 🇯🇵 CD player. There are many other advantages to going portable. A free prize to the... | |
| Quick and free fuse tweak You can’t teach an old dog new tricks. 🐩 | |
| Directional cables - what does that really mean? elizabethIf they are directional... Are they MARKED North? South East West? Maybe you bought a cable to use in the South by SouthWest with an elevation to the beginning to end of 27 degrees downslope, only to turn back and rise at an angle 63 degr... |
