Ridiculous assertions that someone is being ripped off or conned
Yes I see this before. I also see where small group guys get stiffie over products and fall in love like bunch of teen girls and nonstop defend product and tell people that don’t like it that it must not be broke in or have wrong cable or vibrati... 
Streaming 101
One can run Roon on a computer or a dedicated NUC. I am leaning towards that once I get all the CDs ripped to FLAC. Then I am looking the Topping and March Audio DAC which can be fed from a USB from the computer or NUC. But also the Lyngdorf I go... 
Different Amplifiers Changing the Width of Soundstage
Sounds like really high crosstalk? 
Dirac - worth activating?
Certainly worth it if it is free and only takes time.Then you know for sure whether it is worth it, and can also opine on it.Or if it is difficult, then someone may be able to assist you. 
Science that explains why we hear differences in cables?
So, either I buy into skin effect, waveguide, blah blah blah, or... I believe this is caused by gear and ears being more sensitive than the pure math shows. Given those two choices, I pick the latter, simpler version. The third column is the psyc... 
Live music you have attended that left impact....perhaps better than you expected.
For me it was Doug McLeod playing Blues in coffee house about 10 feet from me. I was sitting on an old flee ridden second hand sofa, and the coffee house was pretty much Salvation Army furnished.“The New Panama Limited” made one heck of an impress... 
Science that explains why we hear differences in cables?
Coincidentally there is a recent review in audio science review in which RCA cables from three distributors, with fairly wide price differences, are compared from both a performance and an auditory perspective. No significant differences were foun... 
Science that explains why we hear differences in cables?
With the title being “Science can explain…”, it is hard to believe that these cables can sound different when there is no scientific proof that the signal going through them has any measured difference.If they are shown to be able to identified su... 
Darwin Cables still in business ?
You said you told them from “the beginning”. 
Science that explains why we hear differences in cables?
There’s 3 electrical parameters in poor quality cables that "can" influence the sound.A combination of Resistance, Inductance and Capacitance, which ’’can" create filters with the output impedance of the source/input impedance of the loadYou find ... 
Darwin Cables still in business ?
Darwin Cables business model was to produce many more cables than can survive in the market, a model that is supposed to work for some things. But it turns out cables do not in fact reproduce. I told them from the beginning, go with Intelligent De... 
Science that explains why we hear differences in cables?
Then i apologize if sometimes by my lack of the mastery of english language i mistake sarcasm with claim....But he also said that cables are more important than speakers... Is it a sarcasm too?Yes I believe so.In the limit where one just has a $10... 
New speaker cables recommendations sought
It would have been a test nice to burn in one of the cables and see if it is possible to AB a difference. 
Science that explains why we hear differences in cables?
Given the ABSURD claims of many audiophiles/audiophools, I find it absolutely hysterical that the NON believers (ie. the SANE sector of the "audiophile community" are the ones being labelled as "Flat Earthers".I rather think you've got your cryoge... 
Science that explains why we hear differences in cables?
Then i will say that cables could be miraculously good but they will not replace marvellous speaker nor room acoustic like someone just said erroneously...To my eye that the poster was using sarcasm when “the Odin cables paired with Logitech” was ...
