| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? Actually, unless I miss my guess, which is highly unlikely, there are no wires inside a Sony Walkman. That’s one of the advantages of the Walkmen - you can’t have directionality issues if you don’t have wires. Hel-loo! You don’t have issues with t... | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? OK, here’s a “ridiculous tweak” you might not have heard of. You know those drain pipes on the outside of buildings that channel rain overflow to the ground? Every building usually has at least three or four. Well, here’s the tweak. Buy a pack of ... | |
| Directional cables - what does that really mean? mitch2Wire is cast and then drawn through a die, which creates a pattern in the grain structure and a non-symmetrical pattern at the surface of the wire, affecting high frequencies and causing the sound to be comparatively flat and grainy in one d... | |
| My expert tips on building a sensible world class audio system. Of the various food groups spam is the all-time champ at resonance control. Not too hard, not too soft. Spam, the miracle meat! Don’t knock it if you haven fried it! | |
| My expert tips on building a sensible world class audio system. If you can’t cut le moutarde cut le fromage. | |
| Directional cables - what does that really mean? A free tweak to the best short explanation why wires and cables and fuses sound different when you reverse them. I’m not talking about whether they act as diodes, magnets or porcupine quills. I’m talking what physically takes place to produce such... | |
| Directional cables - what does that really mean? Actually, the companies who control cables for directionality know exactly which way the wire will sound best all along the whole process. As soon as they receive the wire they know. It’s not rocket science. All it takes is a little coordination. ... | |
| Directional cables - what does that really mean? And furthermore...even if the 0.000001 parts of impurities acted as tiny diodes or magnets it doesn’t explain how that would affect the sound or the audio signal. Do you believe the tiny magnets or diodes pull the signal faster one way than the ot... | |
| Directional cables - what does that really mean? Actually for cables manufactured by Audioquest, Anti Cables, Goertz and perhaps others you can rely on the arrows 🔜 provided on the cables since those companies control directionality for those cables. In those cases you do not have to listen to t... | |
| Directional cables - what does that really mean? All of that makes no sense. The percentage of impurities is too small. If the copper is 6 nines pure, then the total impurities is only 0.000001. Tiny magnets, indeed. Give me a break! Plus even if the impurities did act like tiny diodes there’s n... | |
| Please find the excuses for me not to buy Stax 009S headphone Is that dark humor? 🙀 | |
| Directional cables - what does that really mean? And another thing. Roger Skoff’s theory that for continuous cast copper or long grain copper wire that impurities that build up between grains causes wire directionality doesn’t make sense since any effects of impurity build-up would be random in ... | |
| Need a Record Brush. Got a recommendation? Static charge and magnetic field are independent physical properties. They even have entirely different causes, effects and definitions and units. Lloyd was apparently over-reaching a little bit. 🤗 | |
| Need a Record Brush. Got a recommendation? Uh, the Walker Talisman is not an anti static device. It’s a demagnetization device. That probably explains it’s low ranking in your test. 😃 Assuming you were measuring static charge. | |
| Please find the excuses for me not to buy Stax 009S headphone To close the loop on my experience with the HIFIMAN RE-600S V2 Songbird earphones, the ones with the long crystal copper cable, after around 300 hours of near continuous burn-in, including about 140 hours of continuous burn-in using the XLO Test C... |
