| Isolation footers for amps Timely tip: the thicker the slab is, whether maple or granite or bluestone, the stiffer it is, so the better it is in resisting bending forces. Building double structures can be quite interesting, too. | |
| Audiophiles are not alone cleedsgeoffkaitWell, actually you can fool blind tests. Blind tests can give misleading or just plain wrong results just like any other type of test. Operator error, mistake in the system, maybe the listener has a cold ...Absolutely true. And es... | |
| Audiophiles are not alone jssmithYou can’t fool blind results. Take your biases and other senses out of the equation and you’re left with just the sound. Blind tests have saved me a lot of money over the years.Well, actually you can fool blind tests. Blind tests can give m... | |
| Isolation footers for amps A big shoutout for Super DH Cones from Golden Sound, ballistic NASA grade ceramics, the next hardest material to diamond for superior energy transfer. For the most demanding systems. Exceptionally open and dynamic sounding. | |
| Audiophiles are not alone terry9@geoffkait You seem to have misunderstood me. My opinions are as follows.1. Shannon’s Sampling Theorem (there is only one of these), is good mathematics. It cleans up the wooly thinking surrounding ideas first propounded by Nyqvist.2. Shanno... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... How so Georgie Boy? Everyone has a first post. Was your first post shilling? You don't have to answer that. | |
| Can the WAF Kill an Audio System? Very good, Randy. That was almost a complete sentence. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Al, let us know how that works out. The rest of us have already done the experiment. Hel-loo! Cheers, Geoff KaitMachina Dynamica | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Big deal! It's a Red Herring. Ignore the AV just like the AC when it’s traveling in the direction toward the wall outlet. You can’t hear what’s headed toward the wall outlet, only what's headed toward the speakers. That’s why fuses are directional... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Damage Control! Damage Control! Report to bridge! | |
| Audiophiles are not alone Terry, why on Earth would you think Shannon’s theorem is pseudo science or pseudo mathematics? Besides the Shannon sampling theorem does actually apply to digital signals. There is more than one Shannon theorem. Aren’t you totally on board the per... | |
| Audiophiles are not alone Terry....pseudo-science, the OP refers to another pet peeve, digital audio, which is often justified with pseudo-mathematics. For example, to see that the Shannon Information Theorem does not actually apply to digital media, one has only to read t... | |
| Audiophiles are not alone Almost everything recorded by Heifetz was played with a Guarneri. Anyone can hear what a Guarneri sounds like, but IMHO you’ll be much more likely to hear how that violin really sounds on vinyl or tape. | |
| Audiophiles are not alone Schubert, don't be such an old fuddy duddy. Liquor is quicker. Pot is not. Look within. 😛 | |
| Audiophiles are not alone Shakespeare, kick in the rear. I'm a poet and don't know it.My feet show it, they're Longfellows. |
