| Denafrips Terminator 12th vs. 15th DAC Were there versions for the Terminator 13th and 14th? I smell marketing hype. | |
| I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do? Who doesn't love instant depreciation? Buy new! | |
| Audio Cables: All the Same? This topic has been beaten to death. Then why are there so many replies? Clearly, this is not resolved for many people. You're jumping in, too, so you must feel some stake in it, even if just to denounce t he topic. Remaining silent would be th... | |
| Audio Cables: All the Same? I propose the same is true for cables – there is no scientific test for what we hear. Agreed. None yet. The brain and perception are extraordinarily complicated systems. The notion that engineering is up to the task of measuring all that can be... | |

| Has a Power Conditioner Improved Your Sound? Any thoughts about how to test if there is much noise or interference to begin with? If you don't have a problem, a solution won't do much more than drain your wallet. | |
| If A.I. took the place of musicians, would you listen to it? @inna Of course, AI is a huge energy user, so I'm glad you mentioned climate. A.I. use is directly responsible for carbon emissions from non-renewable electricity and for the consumption of millions of gallons of fresh water, and it indirectly b... | |
| AI-Written Stereophile Articles Others on this forum said they wouldn't mind if music was AI generated as long as they enjoyed the music. Perhaps the same can be said about articles. Let 1000 simulations bloom. As longs as the pleasure is experienced, authenticity is just the ... |
