| Personal vs. Market Values What I got from this thread so far is intriguing and asking for more research. It seems that people may have a "truffle receptor" of some sort. Maybe genetic variation like it exists for some smells which may make sense when lots of "taste" is act... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need According to that calculator, I need 0 AWG to have the final (calculated) damping factor about the same as what amplifier instructions say it is. Not much of a revelation. Didn't we already conclude that it all comes down to 0 AWG? Making the cabl... | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) "I've not heard Wilsons....B&W are underwhelming IMHO,......I always found B&W to sound boxy and congested."+1 | |
| What is the most memorable concert that you had attended so far? bdp24,"Leonard Cohen at The Universal Amphitheater in the early 2000’s."Was this in the later 2000s (2008 and onward) or sometime earlier (earlier 1990s)? What city was that in? | |
| What is the most memorable concert that you had attended so far? My first concert ever is still waiting to be toppled. Queen in February 1979 during the Jazz tour.Otherwise, the most otherworldly experience was Mavis Staples at Hard Rock Café on Beale Street. People lined up to be touched/blessed by her close t... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? geoffkait,"And while you’re at it see if they can get to the bottom of fuse directionality, why cryogenics improves the sound, and why premium fuses improve the sound."Those answers are all over the place. Once you are ready for them, I will tell ... | |
| WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES THINK YOU ARE BRAGGING WHEN YOU ARE SHARING? "...a place like Facebook and twitter where it has become one giant episode of mean girls."How does one actually get familiar with what is going on with mean girls on Facebook and Twitter? Without specifically searching for mean girls on Facebook ... | |
| Luxman DA -06 Dac If it is of any help, and given the variety of impressions it is likely not, my experience with DA-06 is nothing but fantastic. I have not heard many DACs, maybe 3-4, but this sounded so pleasant to me that I would buy it if I needed one. I curren... | |
| I wonder how many audiophiles there are these days "However, there seems to some controversy as to whether that’s Fabio or Michael Green in the photos."Funny one. I guess practice does make perfect.However, there is no way it is not Fabio. The room does not look boobytrapped. | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? Whatever way you can lead the new naming is fine, as long as it is a logical one.It is, kind of, funny to read about "things that haven't been discovered yet". For now, they are just a fantasy. Once they get discovered, they become a "thing". I do... | |
| I wonder how many audiophiles there are these days These days, things we like to call "systems" are somehow still relevant. Give it a decade or so, when every current 15-year-old is starting to be a major factor, and it will be no more. As whoopycat suggested, Bluetooth speakers and headphones are... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? blueranger,"It could be better called by some scientific name years from now."No need to wait for years. You already gave one suggestion.Sometimes, it is better to call things the way they are and not what seems mysterious. Many things on these th... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? nonoise,No, I did not, but I will take that as a "yes" from you. You reminded me that I did see magnesium flash (old type camera stuff), though, so it would have to be a "yes" from me, too. It was probably a real burn right there, as short as it w... | |
| I wonder how many audiophiles there are these days I do not think people were questioning the benefits of capitalism. More like emphasizing negative sides of it. At least that is how I read it.I have never sold a car. I have always given it away so people could become horizontally mobile. Same for... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? blueranger,Maybe people thought your question was rhetorical and not true question asking for an answer. You gave the answer in the first part of your sentence and did not end it with "?" which is the usual sign to let others know it is a question... |
