| Your short speaker cable experiences @audioguy85 What problem are you referring to? I'm asking for people who have compared longer and shorter runs. You doubt there is an audible difference, but may I ask if you actually tried comparing things or are you just paper doubting? | |
| Sharing my experience with cables Over the years, have you found ways to do ABX testing -- as one more way to learn what you can and cannot discern? I have a number of different cables and the sound different to me, but I also want them to sound different. | |
| Best place to insert a new higher end cable in my system? @decooney seems correct. If the source is diminished by that first connection, what good is the rest? | |
| How does cable construction affect sonic character? @chayro Thanks for the link. Just looking at an article on the 10 biggest lies in audio and I'm already scratching my head at the claim that "Whatever vacuum tubes can do in a piece of audio equipment, solid-state devices can do better, at lower... | |
| Is This the Essence of "The Audiophile Dilemma? @mijostyn Thanks. You state, "Many concerts have terrible sound quality. You have to pick your venues for the best sound." That's exactly right. What is constantly misunderstood in this hobby is the notion of "truth" or, if you prefer, "real." @m... | |
| How does cable construction affect sonic character? @chayro Thanks for sending the link to that article. I see that the article is called "The Wire and Cable Scene: Facts, Fictions, and Frauds Part II." Do you have a link to the issue with "Part I"? Can you share that? Thanks again. | |
| Cable brands that work well with Cardas? I am enjoying and learning from this discussion. Thank you guys. It’s especially instructive how you just ignore the troll and the person who just says the same thing every time (to buy something ASAP! ) Boy what a waste of time. I love your disci... | |
| How does cable construction affect sonic character? @asctim "I have yet to see any solid evidence that the standard accepted set of audio and electrical measurements are inadequate to account for perceived differences in sound quality, but I remain open to new discoveries." Thank you for your m... | |
| Cable Quality vs Customer Service I've had great products and service from Analysis Plus but I'm not sure they make headphone cables. | |
| Your sub experience: Easy or hard? It was hard until I got some furniture sliders. | |
| Warm Tube Amp(s) to Tame Hyper-Accurate Speakers? +1 @rodman99999 is asking fundamental questions for the OP. If these are not answered, then this really becomes a thread about mindless gear swapping. | |
| New Hemingway Audio Power Cables WORLD's BEST ??? @facten I don't think I mentioned you and don't see why I would have. | |
| What difference do power cables make? @thyname Thanks for your history with Pangea. I will definitely circle back to power cords again, and I appreciate your recommendations. Saving for future use. | |
| Warm Tube Amp(s) to Tame Hyper-Accurate Speakers? Perhaps warm tubes is what you need, not a warm amp. Also, room acoustics might be at work. Before you swap out gear, try to analyze your room with REW. The time and trouble it takes to learn to analyze your room is a fraction of the hassle of p... | |
| What difference do power cables make? OP, I'm a relative novice here, so here's what I am sure about: I have put in dedicated lines. This, I am certain, is the most important thing to do. I have hospital grade outlets. I have a decent Adept power conditioner, power strip, and a sh... |
