| Power cable education needed So this guy measured an audiophile power cord that cost $20 on Amazon, why not test something like shunyata's lowest line power cord? | |
| This is very timely... The high end market actually has more potential customers in the far east than they ever had in the west at any time. It's a status symbol in parts of Asia. | |
| Holographic Soundstage ? Why don't you just put a good 6sn7 tube preamp in front of the krell amp. I couldn't stand my krell ksa 300s amp with solid state preamps, I got an octal tube preamp and it is so much better. As far as great holographic speakers, I have apogee due... | |
| Why is science just a starting point and not an end point? Today's scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality.Nikola Tesla | |
| transistor pre with the sound of tubes I've left my tube preamp on for a few years now. The only time I turn it off is when I'm going away for extended periods, or if there is a thunderstorm. I compared the tubes that are in it to new ones and the nos tubes still sound better even afte... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? If measurements are the be all end all, then why do the top audio designers all do listening tests? | |
| Power cable education needed Wiring is like a chain. The chain is as good as its weakest link. Since all your house is wired with a Romex cable of appropriate size (typically 15 - 20 amps), adding a much stronger link into the middle of it does NOT make it any better.The wi... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? Electrical codes are have nothing to do with our understanding of physics changing. It is more about underestimating how stupid people can be, note comments in this thread. I also don't remember anything about rats chewing through wires in my quan... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? Why are electric codes changed quite often if engineering has it all figured out? | |
| Does a Tube Dac make sense? There are no tube output DACs on the market that are as linear as the best solid state output DACs. You could make one more linear, but that would take feedback, more tubes, etc. and you would probably run into noise limits before you the linearit... | |
| Dedicated AC line - Contractor wants to use BX instead of romex The problem is a lot of cities and townships in the us don't really take it seriously. In my city the inspectors don't even have to be licensed, they go to courses but end up playing golf as they don't have to sit through the whole course. When I ... | |
| Dedicated AC line - Contractor wants to use BX instead of romex Considering that pretty much every state has as law the National Electrical Code, what place where laws don’t matter do you live? Cities often take these things more seriously because fires don't just take out one house, they can take out a whole... | |
| Does a Tube Dac make sense? A Tube DAC softens the sound. A sound that would not need to be softened if the DAC was able to avoid certain digital distortions. Tubes are a band aid....Tubes sound more like real music. | |
| Does a Tube Dac make sense? Also dacs with tube output don’t drive very well into the next equipment, be it passive pre active pre or direct to poweramp if it is lower than <20kohm input impedance.As tube dacs usually have high output impedance and are capacitor coupled, ... | |
| This is the list of the best makers of audio equipment. Respond if you disagree The only thing that I agree with there is nakamichi was one of the best cassette decks out there but everything else I don't know what this guy smoking LOL.At least he got one right, he must be new to high end audio. |
