| Test Equipment vs The Ear willemjThe problem is that human hearing is not very good - your dog is much better at it. The good news is that for most parts of the audio chain it is now possible to design and manufacture units that are better than what humans can reliably dis... | |

| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? It wouldn’t be the first time someone automatically called something snake oil before coming to grips with what the idea actually was.

| Test Equipment vs The Ear How does one measure soundstage height? Bass slam? Inner dynamics? Warmth? Presence? Musicality? Liquid-ness? Separation of instruments? Realism? The noise contribution of RFI/EMI? How do you determine that the "information" you’re hearing is all ... | |

| Lifters ForGetting Cables Off The Floor, Worth It Or Snake Oil Tom, don’t be such a big isolation denier. Not only is vibration isolation enjoying its 25 year anniversary for audiophiles, the whole isolation phenomenon has resulted in the introduction of spectacularly effective devices, what with active isola... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... Oh, it can be done to cabling. And doing it to cables prior to Cryo improves the effectiveness of Cryo in terms of sound quality. No matter how much you have in the end you could have had even more if you had started out with more. - old audio axiom | |
| Turntable and Rack vibration control Everything should be isolated. Not only audio components and speakers but all the heavy items in the room, chest of drawers, bookcase, couch, big overstuffed chairs. The most cost effective way to isolate furniture is with Small DH Cones but any c... | |
