| Most useful tweaks that are sensible and really make a noticeable improvement An obvious tweak is reversing interconnects to see which direction sounds best. In fact, there are a lot of things one can do to tweak interconnects, just to focus one one thing. Cryo them, freeze them, demagnetize them, apply anti-static agent or... | |
| Best Headphone under 1k$? It should probably be pointed out that some reviewers are given a free set of headphones or earphones when they write a positive review. For example, the excellent and thorough review of HIFIMAN HE—800S V2 I linked to is such a case. No, I’m not s... | |
| ISOTEK - Full System Enhancer CD Shout out for the original and still the best for speaker placement plus the burn in track works very well - XLO Test CD. I’ve only mentioned it like a hundred times. | |
| Best Headphone under 1k$? Just checking in to say I do not think we’re on the same page yet. But no problem. I expect at the end of the day my HIFIMAN HE600S V2 earphones will have it all, bass, balance, speed, tonality and bass. I am pretty sure brightness will be determi... | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? I tried to tell you. Sorbothane is one of most vile and pernicious materials ever foisted on naive gullible audiophiles. It seems like the perfect material, too. Not too hard, not too soft. Just right! Suck those offending vibrations right up!! Wh... | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? People still get their panties in a bunch over certain words and phrases. You know, like crystalline, crystal, quantum, Graphene, artificial atoms ⚛️, directionality, anything perceived or in reality as not in the signal path, things of that natur... | |

| Best Headphone under 1k$? I am saying you should expect the brightness to continue for at least 200 hours. Rome wasn’t built in a day. 😬 At this point in time my Grado 60s sound much better than the HE-600S V2s. And the Grados are relatively inexpensive headphones. The HIF... | |
| Best Headphone under 1k$? If the 800S is anything like the 600S V2 it’s going to take longer time to burn them in. Much longer. For my new HE-600S V2 after 10 hours per day for 4 days the sound is still decidedly peaky and bright with no bass. As I mentioned somewhere alon... | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? cd318Here are the words of one of the most respected figures in this industry, Harbeth’s Alan Shaw -"I have this growing feeling that there may not be one single generally held ’fact’ amongst audiophiles that is actually true and demonstrable unde... | |
| Most useful tweaks that are sensible and really make a noticeable improvement “Seems to me actual real tweaks really are those that make sense.”No, no, no! It’s actually the opposite. The best tweaks, anyway. People need to be a little more open minded. I’m not suggesting they be so open minded their brains spill out on the... | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? kqvkqIt’s easy to think that because one thinks in a certain fashion that others do as well. That’s not how it works necessarily. Some may think as you do. Some will not.Consider the quote "Anyone who thinks audio is a plug-and-play hobby doesn’t ... | |
| Best Headphone under 1k$? glupson"Kraftwerk sounds super duper."Did you ever doubt it? You do not need some fancy earphones to figure that out.>>>>You need to dig deeper, grasshopper. You’re just skimming the surface. | |
| Best Headphone under 1k$? I thought you just got the RE-800S. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Jerry Lee Lewis is 8 years older than Keith Richards. For all intents and porpoises 🐬 they are of the same generation. It was established scientifically Keith Richards is older than dirt. Now, Jerry Lee Lewis’ wife, she was of a different generation. |
