| What is the least compressed signal? n80I’m done with Audiogon.>>>>>Whoa! You’re a poet and don’t know it. | |
| How much does volume matter when breaking in amps and cables? If they don’t believe in fuses, power cords or wire directionality who needs em? End of story. Call it Old School or stick in the mud, whatever. You’re a lot better at name dropping than I am, so you get A+ for that. 🤗 | |
| why do hi-end fuses keep blowing, while std don't? What's the moral to the story? As my old boss at NASA used to tell me, never get behind anyone 100%. | |
| why do hi-end fuses keep blowing, while std don't? A.E.’s are more skeptical than E.E.’s. But more to the point A.E.’s investigate rather than proclaim some conclusion or another without a thorough and complete investigation. That is, after all, the scientific method. That’s how we progress. But R... | |
| Best Headphone under 1k$? Thanks for posting. I just ordered the HIFIMAN 600S V2 with single crystal copper cable from Amazon for $99 free shipping. | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? azbrd91 Directional wire, wire break-in devices and overpriced aftermarket power cords. >>>>That makes it kind of rough since all wire is directional. | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? cd318I’d say 99% of all tweaks are useless and hence likely to be both ridiculous and overpriced at the same time.>>>That means you believe 1% are not useless. Well, that’s a start. Confucius say trip of thousand miles start with one tweak. | |
| How much does volume matter when breaking in amps and cables? ramtubesI make tube amps. I cycle and burn them in for 24 hours but only to catch the infant mortalities, which I do. If burnin of electronics was real why wasnt it "discovered" in the 1950’s?>>>>Oh, there’s the problem! Amp manufactur... | |
| why do hi-end fuses keep blowing, while std don't? “Yes, Modjeski is skeptical (to put it mildly) of the audible benefits of power cords, fuses, overly-expensive (define that as you wish) interconnects and speaker cables, etc. But one thing you can be sure of, even if you don’t consider him an aud... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? 8 bit operators - tribute to Kraftwerk played on video game machines. Tasty!8-Bit Operators: The Music of Kraftwerk was released [1] in 2007 by the group 8-Bit Operators [2][3][4] on Kraftwerk's US label Astralwerks and EMI Records worldwide. It f... | |
| why do hi-end fuses keep blowing, while std don't? I knew somebody would bring up Roger Modjeski, since that’s the only case anyone ever mentions. Thanks for accommodating me and reminding everybody! 🤗 The problem is that somebody who hates aftermarket fuses and audio tweaks is the one reporting i... | |
| Anyone going to the 2019 "The Show?" Whoa!! Erik_squires said what? | |
| What is the least compressed signal? erik_squiresGeoffkait: Without even going into room acoustics and vibration isolation and rf, the primary culprits are the stray scattered laser light getting into the photodetector and the vibration, wobbling and fluttering of the disc itself. Bo... | |
| why do hi-end fuses keep blowing, while std don't? In the long history of audio there has never been a single documented and verified component damaged by a high end fuse. If anything, by blowing too quickly they prevent damage to equipment. What a load of horse hockey! 🏒 Are some audiophiles real... | |
| Disco...yep, I'm going there Cassettes have the whole package. All around best medium, all things considered. Tape is a natural medium. It breathes. |
