| What sounds best: Vinyl or CDs You’re supposed to listen through the pops and clicks. Besides CDs are SO compressed now who really cares? Tape is a natural medium. It breathes. | |
| WHAT HAS WORKED FOR YOU? ISOLATION PLATFORMS, FOOTERS, ETC. for a DAC? Old discarded dry wall would be my first choice for trying to get that special designer look to any superior audio system. And It really sets off the room. | |
| Directionality of wire stfothGeoff--Perhaps this has been adequately and succinctly discussed elsewhere, but, assuming all cables are inherently directional with sound differences from one way to the other, what might be some reasons someone, with a good trained ear wit... | |
| Directionality of wire Never said it did work for everyone. That's the way the cookie crumbles. We've been over that already, ad nauseum. There are many reason why audiophiles sometimes don't get the results they were looking for. Because the thing under test is a hoax ... | |
| Directionality of wire TerryI would point out that lots of people believe things without foundation. See especially the Nazi’s strategy of The Big Lie, and note how it has been broadly applied in the modern world.But that’s different from someone who experiments and fin... | |
| Directionality of wire georgehifiStereophile presented microscopic photos of the crystal structure and they were arrow shaped and lined up nose to tail, naturally the arrow head was pointed, and was considered as the flow direction. >>>>>That’s weird. I w... | |
| What sounds best: Vinyl or CDs While CDs are often kind of whimpy sounding they can sound dynamic and detailed. At the same time I frequently feel as if the recording on CD is like the steak in the movie The Fly that was teleported from one pod to the other. When it came out of... | |
| Directionality of wire Sebrof, I think I know. I went into the archives and scanned many of your posts. Now I remember you. 😀 | |
| Directionality of wire sebrofThere are a couple of guys here on A-Gon that, when I see they posted in a thread, even if the topic is of no interest to me I usually click and read. I often learn something. There are a couple of guys here on A-Gon that, when I see they po... | |
| Directionality of wire IvanTrue enough. Caveat emptor. Wouldn’t have it any other way, myself. Well, actually, ironically enough, that expression caveat emptor does NOT apply to fuses as much as people think, you know, since most aftermarket fuses come with a 30 day gua... | |
| Directionality of wire georgehifi1: Every component you have has been designed using measurements.2: Any changes to the sound the designer needed to make was done using measurements then listened to.3: There is no voodoo in designing equipment by any designer of any com... | |
| Directionality of wire Ivan, I don’t know which Alan Maher products are giving you conniptions but if they are crystal based devices then one thing you might try, since crystals should really be "reconditioned" periodically as they lose effectiveness over time and get a... | |
| Directionality of wire Let’s clear up one thing. The accusation of hype and unsubstantiated claims is a common pseudo skeptic ploy but be aware there’s actually nothing wrong with marketing one’s product, even using hyperbole or what Judge Judy refers to as puffing. You... | |
| Directionality of wire Re 1936 Michigan Study on wire directionality vs conductivity. Quick synopsis: Old news and contributes little to what we know. We already know that the measured differences in wire conductivity are quite small from the fuse measurement data on th... | |
| Directionality of wire bdp24Doesn’t Audioquest make stranded cables? To make them directional, they have to keep track of the direction of each single strand, all throughout the assembly of each cable. Wow, that can’t be easy.I don’t think it would be too difficult. You... |
