| I'm having a really hard time with: "Power cable reduced my soundstage"... If you don’t hear power cords it’s OK. A lot of people don’t. It’s a signal to noise thing as well as attention to detail thing.Very few lobsters get out of the lobster pot. - Old audiophile axiom | |
| Speaker wire... Diy? “Dave?”“Dave?”“Dave?”“Dave’s not here.”Right, everything affects the “signal.” But the signal is not the music, remember from last class? The only things in the cable or wire that can be affected are voltage and current. Could I be wrong? | |
| I want a streamer I’m under the distinct impression streaming is for the same folks that got heavy vested in CDs but wanted the same mediocre sound with even less hassle. | |
| Speaker wire... Diy? Metaphors be with you.pop quiz! 🤗If it’s true the “audio signal” in cables and wire and fuses is simply (alternating) voltage and current, I.e., not a music waveform, what is the distortion in cables, etc.? Is it voltage and current distortion? | |
| What are important features in a listening chair The IKEA Puang Chair takes a lot of heat from yours truly due to the foam they use in the chair. It’s a Trojan Horse. It might be the worst thing ever foisted on gullible naive audiophiles. Makes the sound all weird and phasey like. Very reminisce... | |
| Speaker wire... Diy? I gave you partial credit. 🤗 | |
| Speaker wire... Diy? Can we agree it’s the rate that current and voltage alternate? If so, then what cables and wires carry is plain old current and voltage. | |
| Shocked removed spikes, used blue tack, what other non spike footer This is what sometimes happens when a manufacturer shows up all of a sudden to gush (at length) over his product (spikes) before reading the OP that specifically pointed out spikes were not all that in his system. Maybe the band of intellects the ... | |
| Speaker wire... Diy? The electrons are simply the charge carriers. And they are virtually not moving. They are not the music and they are not the signal. Oh, did I just give you the answer? Ps I’m going out on a limb here saying you probably don’t remember a single th... | |
| hi End PsyopsAll the older gear from McIntosh, SAE, Bose, AR, Yamaha, Marantz, JBL, Garrard, Sansui, and many other brands were considered hi-end at the time, many still are today. >>>>>That’s a pretty mixed bag of stuff. I would tend to d... | |
| Speaker wire... Diy? This isn’t multiple choice, but I’ll give you two more choices anyway. | |
| Digital vs Vinyl: The winner is ?? I used to think it was close. Or at worst a trade off. But I saw the light. Hialeah! | |
| Platter wobble The way I figure it since many LPs are not flat it will all average out. | |
| Shocked removed spikes, used blue tack, what other non spike footer Those are excellent examples of oil of the snake. Congrats!🎉 |
