| The "Snake Oil" Trope @mastering92 I disagree. bass, treble, mid range, etc is nothing but frequency transmitted via electricity. Electricity relies solely on conductivity. Frequency, as well as conductivity can be controlled through metallurgy and geometry. As menti... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @oldhvymec Not gonna lie, I left them in for about 5 minutes. Enough to know those Component video cables were *NOT* meant for audio. I researched the issue and it boiled down to cable geometry and not metallurgy in this case. The geometry for th... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @avitacom Understood. The last "personal rhetoric" that I will impart, is that I used to be a heavy skeptic of power cables, even though I was able to discern differences in speaker cables and interconnects. The changes between speaker cables and ... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @avitacomThere is a very certain way you can make this test.For poops and giggles, I decided to change out the RCA interconnects on my subwoofer from the Audioquest Ruby X3s to Audioquest YIQ 2 Component Video Cables. The Component cables have a s... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @tomic601 "P-Zero on a Pinto"Uh huh, and a complete back-cat exhaust system, stage 6 turbo, inter cooler with external cold air filter, quick-change gear shift, ground kit, sport cams and maybe a NOS system.May not be pretty or brag-worthy, but ve... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @tomic601 I used to work for the now long since defunct Incredible Universe in the Home Theater department. I loved the DCM Timeframe 600s and practically obsessed over them. When DCM told us about the 50% employee discount, I was quick to get m... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @three_easy_payments" Just pointing out the flaws in your narrative. "Cool. Hope it was worth your time. :)" You have not offended me in the least. "Good, that's great to hear!" Trust me, you're also no expert in how I feel. "Right you are! W... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @three_easy_payments Sorry you feel that way. I was never attacking you and that's just a fact. You took my post personally. I didn't make you do that. Cheers :D | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @tomic601 It is not me deleting those posts. | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @ozzy62 “Why don't you tell us about that system?” Sure! I have two. The one I am currently running and still building is this: Hardware: Acer Helios 300 Predator Software: Foobar2000, Winamp, and TIDAL Speaker system: Audioengine A2+ along... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @three_easy_payments Really? Because I chose the side that supports "cable theory" I am automatically taking a superior position? Wow, that is a massively wide brush you use to paint there! But hey, kudos for recognizing that I did provide suppor... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @p05129 “Get a good resolving system that allows you to hear the better components. Buying a pioneer or denon system will not get you there Spend some $$$ to get a better system. Spending $300 on an audio system won’t get you there either. You ... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope three_easy_payments " This is total assertion of a superior position! "I disagree. It's your assertion that it is by making assumptions that fit your narrative. You're assuming I am calling you a nay-sayer, when I have in fact never accused you ... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @tobor007 “After several high end cable auditions I settled on a pair of $1000 Kimber Kable” So let me get this straight, you auditioned several cables and heard enough of a difference to “settle” on Kimber Kable…but then heard no difference? So... | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope @mastering92What's more interesting is that the brain automatically fills in the gaps of any data it thinks is missing. This includes sound. If a song had slight gaps in its melody, due to poor recording, bitrate, resolution, etc, our brains wi... |
