| Why do many discussions about sonic performance disintegrate into technical discusions? Penalty flag! 😠 Some women might consider your post to be a micro or macro aggression. "The Horror" I am pleasantly surprised to hear so many members here mention their wives as anecdotally confirming the sound improvements they hear. I must agr... | |
| Why do many discussions about sonic performance disintegrate into technical discusions? +1 @erik_squires Yea, the car analogy is appropriate. In trying to explain what being an audiophile or enthusiast is about, I often use the car analogy. In the same way that we tweak our systems with different footers, fuses, cables to tailor ... | |
| NOS tubes @freediver No argument from me about what you said above. If what you say is true, why all the fuss about buying NOS tubes rather than current production? Because NOS adherents will use numerous adjectives to describe the sound of their gear wit... | |
| NOS tubes My perception of this is that NOS tubes were manufactured in the hey day of tube use in TVs, Radios, military equipment, etc. etc. Because they were so essential to, in many cases, sensitive circuits, those tubes were manufactured to very strict,... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic 🐺 Nicely written post! You win for creative writing.👨🎓 | |
| Sound of cables breaking in? Another technique that can accelerate break-in is using a Purist Audio Design Ultimate System Enhancer disc. They claim that for every hour played you achieve 5 hours of music play break-in. I use that disc to help with burn-in anything new in ... | |
| Sound of cables breaking in? Exactly! New cables take patience. When researching cables I'm careful to consider the listening observations of those who make note of giving the cables an appropriate time to break in. My experience is that the last quality to be revealed is d... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic I'm not ready to invest in this effort yet. I have purchased tweaks more expensive than TC that ended up doing nothing. I've also been pleasantly surprised by the results I've realized from some very modest tweaks. When you get to the point wit... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic @wolf_garcia You'd best get your order in fast before TC is on backorder!😆Actually, I am also skeptical of the glowing claims made for TC. Sometimes things just sound too good to be true...although I have been pleasantly surprised in the past b... | |
| A lot of hype about PS Audio, deservedly so ? As in most successful organizations/companies, the tone is set by the person to where the buck stops. Paul McGowan answers a question sent in by audiophiles/customers every day and posts a video of it on the PS website. It is all information bas... | |
| PS Audio P5 owners--are the fans truly quiet? @jperry For sure. The PPP fans were significantly louder and the sound was of a higher pitch. The P5 and PPP are completely different units. The P5 is built more robustly than the PPP. I actually had two PPP units. The first PPP suffered a r... | |
| PS Audio P5 owners--are the fans truly quiet? @twoleftears The P5 fans are very quiet. I am listening in a dedicated finished basement room with an extremely low noise floor. With all but my subwoofers running off of the P5 I am using 34% of its capability. I just paused Beethoven's Symp... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic +1 @theaudiotweak I wish I could align MY molecules!🏋️♂️ | |
| A lot of hype about PS Audio, deservedly so ? Wolf,🐺What’s goin’ on in your world? Frankly, you should be feeling pretty empowered right now as House Stark is thriving and "Winter is Here".❄️❄️❄️ | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic I have found a real performance difference using cryogenically treated brass screws. Smoother, more grain free music. I just assumed everyone knew. 😇 Can't imagine anyone is still using steel screws. In this case I think everyone knew! 🤔Since whe... |
