| Speaker wire... Diy? It looks like I got a bite on that “I’m full of them” line. They’re bitin’ today! | |
| Speaker wire... Diy? dave_bGK has a bit of a point, of course many of the cables I’ve used are directional. But not any of the stranded ones, yes? | |
| Distortions that the human ear likes. Are there any ? Whoa! I remember him from Crosby, Stills and Nash. Rock on! | |
| Speaker wire... Diy? I’m full of them. | |
| So just how much vinyl do YOU own? I sold $15,000 worth of cream of the crop low stamper no. Mercury Living Presence and RCA Living Stereo. I sold a box of the ones I didn’t want to keep right away to a feller visiting from Tennessee for $4,000. The rest I sold over the years. Was ... | |
| Alert, Warning, and Caution about Modified Components The Tar Baby strikes again! What about this? What about that? And he asks so innocently, too. That’s my boy! | |
| Speaker wire... Diy? I think you probably mean insulation, not shielding. But, you’re right, there are many variables involved, thus making it rather difficult to prove solid core vs stranded. Purity of metal, type of metal, type of dielectric material, break in, shie... | |
| Speaker wire... Diy? Interestingly those two examples - Anti Cables and Audioquest Water - are both prime examples of cables that are controlled for directionality during manufacture. Thus, I would caution that their sonic superiority might well be due to their correc... | |
| Distortions that the human ear likes. Are there any ? We covered all that in class yesterday. You know, the difference between harmonics and harmonic distortion. | |
| Distortions that the human ear likes. Are there any ? ivan_nosniborWell, I don’t think it could Rilly be better. If it were, then the more tape copies you make from the original tape, then the better the result should sound, yes??>>>>I’m not saying yes but I’m definitely not saying no. Bu... | |
| Can one ever be "done" in this hobby? Never troll a troll. - old audiophile axiom🤗 | |
| Distortions that the human ear likes. Are there any ? cleedsBut there are those who enjoy euphonic distortion. For example, one thread here got in to quite a bust-up when a user insisted his LP dubs to R-2-R were more accurate than the original LPs. He just couldn’t accept that he preferred the tape ... | |
| Can one ever be "done" in this hobby? Actually I’m the opposite of you. | |
| Speaker wire... Diy? dave_bAnthropology, Biology, Chemistry and Life Sciences are my strong suit. Writing with an emphasis on grammar, rather than content, was never an obsession of mine. Recently, I’ve delved into Cosmology and Quantum Mechanics. Still looking for yo... | |
| I'm having a really hard time with: "Power cable reduced my soundstage"... Sleepwalker, you can’t prove a negative. 🤗 |
