| How accurate are cable descriptions for your system? @stevewharton @kellyp ) I like the wine metaphor. I think we all struggle. Not only because these terms are very very vague (in terms of designating a precise sensory correlate event in our own situated experiences) but there are many acous... | |
| How accurate are cable descriptions for your system? @tony1954 When you say "Just another opinion" does that mean that "all opinions are equal"? It is the most obvious truism to say that one has to "listen for themself" -- so we certainly agree on that. Above and beyond that, some people with op... | |
| Many higher end preamps are dated and ugly, why is this? Alas, this is true of many audiophiles. We must be careful what we ask the mirror. | |
| Yep much to do about nothing. Fear brains. The sanctions applied to Russia were unprecedented. Fears about tubes were not about nothing. Perhaps they were premature, but they were about something. Hindsight is 20-20. | |
| How important is spending time with your gear? "You need to know how little I can relate to the discussion you started" LOL. You (Erik) need to know that... why? Answer: you don't need to know that, and neither does anyone else. It's pure flotsam. Ephemera. Noise. Given by someone who se... | |
| How accurate are cable descriptions for your system? @dekay Thanks for the link. @1971gto455ho So cable believers only, deniers not allowed. Right, because I'm asking people who hear a difference whether it corresponds to how they have heard the supposed difference described. Follow that? I... | |
| How important is spending time with your gear? I like the workings to be out where I can enjoy them. The cause-and-effect is part of the pleasure for me. The whole world is built around the "device paradigm" but I like at least part of the world to have some of its workings exposed. | |
| How accurate are cable descriptions for your system? @jjss49 Good point. I was thinking that, overall, there is a lot of that in audio. Someone says the sound is "bright" or "tubby" or... "musical," etc. and it is often hard to really get a definite or semi-definite sense of what is designated in se... | |
| How accurate are cable descriptions for your system? Hi all, I appreciate the advice but I should probably state it plainly -- I’m not shopping for cables, I’m not really interested in upgrades at this point, etc. My question arises out of interest in the phenomenological, epistemic elements invol... | |
| Pass Labs vs. Sugden @jamesmartin17 Interesting. I want @decooney to see that comment. | |
| How accurate are cable descriptions for your system? @artemus_5 It also depends upon which speaker cable you went from to the new one. Great point. Another variable not factored in by most reviewers or commenters. This whole hobby careens between art, pseudo-science, and science without a whol... | |
| How accurate are cable descriptions for your system? Thanks to posters. I suppose I’m still interested in your answer to the question in the OP. Let me rephrase it: When you hear cables described in a certain way -- but not specific to your system -- how accurately do you find those descriptions ... | |
| Most Realistic Recordings Hi OP, You might enjoy this article and the recordings, too. https://positive-feedback.com/reviews/music-reviews/magic-of-josep-colom/ | |
| Speakers for Second System If I wasn't selling my Salks I'd keep them for a second system. They worked really well with my tube amps and Pass Lab XA25. For some reason, a previous post mentioning this got removed and I'm trying to determine why. I was about to post and ad o... | |
