| Audiophiles should learn from people who created audio Just to point out there are not very many Standards for audio, unlike say the Military or the FAA and other Government agencies that have Standards for practically everything, including toilet seats on Air Force One. Also, business is not conducte... | |
| RCA Caps Gold Star for best quote of the week! ⭐️"Not due to any negative attitude on my part- I maintained a long cordial relationship with the parts department for decades." | |
| RCA Caps No brainer. Good one! By the way, if memory serves putting Cardas caps on unused inputs/outputs on the TV and other non-audio components like the cable box helped the sound, too. I’ve got something similar. You know, keeps the dust out. 😬I know wh... | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? When you say "a bunch of us" I assume that means you and the other pseudo skeptics. Maybe you mean you and the other GED recipients. | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? I was just getting down to kross_emoji's level. If thy eye offend thee pluck it out. 👁 My job is setting the record straight. | |
| Opening a can of worms Maybe, just maybe, your system is not revealing enough. 😛 I hate to open another can of worms but did you attach the cables in the right direction? | |
| Speakers: Isolation? Well, to be fair, the idea is not original and you can’t see them under the speakers anyway. | |
| Speakers: Isolation? That’s why it’s a good idea to minimize the number of springs and maximize the mass. Since isolation effectiveness is inversely proportional to the Fr. | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? But the air is still still. It’s not moving. Have you forgotten your argument already? This was Roger Paul’s concept, preserve the relative motion of the acoustic waves and the air in the room, nothing to do with temperature. We don’t care what th... | |
| RCA Caps 🐩wolf_garciaAnother solution is to chew a piece of gum along with shreds of aluminum foil and copper shavings. Once chewed, remove the metal reinforced gum and stick it on the unused RCA plugs. Done!Yeah, but you have to be able to walk and chew g... | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? kross_emoji, you are a little slow on the uptake today. The speed of sound is just that, relativistic motion, the speed of acoustic waves relative to the speed of air. Duh! This is what happens when you go to a school that advertises on the back o... | |
| RCA Caps Georgie Boy, if I were you I'd seriously consider modifying your post to say, Cardas caps do nothing for the sound that I'm aware of. There, that's more like it! | |
| Speakers: Isolation? Whoa! Yeah, Baby! That's what I'm talking about! Everybody's doing it, doing it! | |
| Speakers: Isolation? In case it’s not obvious, the total spring rate k in the equation is the k for each spring times number of springs. That’s why it’s a good idea to minimize the number of springs and maximize the mass. Since isolation effectiveness is proportional ... | |
| Is using streaming services worthy of an audiophile? It’s pretty obvious digital has more detail than analog. But analog is more musical. Untreated CDs in untweaked systems are kind of the worst case scenario, inasmuch as they almost ALWAYS sound thin, wiry, bass shy, rolled off, tinny, electronic, ... |
