| A challenge to the "measurement" camp "Some don’t fit well on the leg and slide down to my ankle." Imagine if the manufacturer made a suggestion to put a rubber band around them after you buy them. | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? thyname,"This sophist’s blindtest experiments are meant to test the listener, not the gear."With careful design, you could aim much better. With all this back-and-forth about blind testing, not much was said in terms of methods. Remember the last ... | |
| A challenge to the "measurement" camp speedbump6,"glupson, when you buy a pair of shoes, don’t you also wear socks with them?"Not all the time. Socks also come usable "out of the box", I do not need to buy another one.We all have different approaches, but if they tried to sell me half... | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? speedbump6, "...scientific testing isn’t done to prove a personal theory, it’s done to prove the facts""Hypothesis" is the word you were looking for. At the same time, "testing", not "proving" would seem much more dignified in the press. | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? speedbump6,"He could and would never settle for a true blind test don’t by independent researchers who could care less about what the results show. No matter how it was done, even if he initially agreed the process was sound, he would find the fau... | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? "Please understand that many (most?) audiophiles use there ears as a guide to what sounds best in there system(s)."Could it be that designers of those products do use measurements to some extent? | |
| A challenge to the "measurement" camp If the person buys (spends money) on a power regenerator and then needs to buy a new power cord for it to sound better, does a person feel at least a little cheated?I would feel as if I had bought shoes and then found only one in the box, by design. | |
| A challenge to the "measurement" camp speedbump6,I also assumed that Gryphon people do use expensive cables, why wouldn’t they? I also suspect that Pass amplifiers rarely get connected with lamp cord. Those are assumptions and suspicions/guesses. I am quite convinced that difference i... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat boxer12,How old? Allegedly, those made recently have improved considerably. Not that it says much when you start from the bottom. | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat thecarpathian,Olive oil is wonderful for lubricating FIATs. To be fair, I had one that never left me stranded except one single time on the road close to Schio. Just a belt that a local teenager replaced in half an hour. I guess his name was Toni. | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat That opens an entirely unrelated discussion about marketing and perceived value of a product. Unrelated to PPT products.For example, on Mastersound website, the first tab next to "home" is "Made in Italy". Actual products follow later. On the "hom... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat Mastersound is some steps away from Sonus Faber. Do they have anything in common (parent company, etc.) or it is just a coincidence? Whatever it is, Vicenza may be even cuter than Padova. Worth a stroll, for sure. Do they offer "factory delivery"? | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat " Fine Italian craftsmanship."Is that from the textbook of oxymorons, or an exception to the rule? | |
| A challenge to the "measurement" camp Switching topic a little bit, I have heard Pass amplifiers in a couple of systems over the years. I know they are considered to be really good around here. It might have not been amplifiers that were not great, but those systems were not enjoyable... | |
| A challenge to the "measurement" camp mahgister,"glupson do you listen to Scarlatti? "I had to learn about him during music classes in elementary school, probably heard some of his works, but do not really recall anything more than "Domenico". Even that I am not 100% sure right now. I... |
