| Directionality of wire I do recall a Mapleshade digital IC I bought (very affordable) that came with instructions that warned of intermittent audio (dropouts!) if connected in the wrong direction. And sure enough it was true! Now That's a directionality effect Anyone co... | |
| Directionality of wire True enough. Caveat emptor. Wouldn't have it any other way, myself. I was only trying to focus on the theory 'apart from fact' in an effort to get a sense of what is in the minds of those who believe things like wire directionality might be real..... | |
| Directionality of wire @shadorne In the above I neglected to quote your entire post actually, sorry about that. What I’m saying is that being paralyzed by the fact that there may be false claims afoot, in any circumstance, is essentially a form of hysteria.In that case,... | |
| Directionality of wire @shadorne,"Exactly. Whatever experience that can be measured repeatedly and independently becomes accepted verifiable fact. What cannot or has not been successfully measured repeatedly and independently is in the realm of conjecture or hypothesis ... | |
| Crossover confusion Yes, erik is quite right, they're not brickwall devices. At this point, I would venture to guess that you're now on the right track and that it's just a matter of experimenting and tracking down the right settings, on the digital side of things mo... | |
| Crossover confusion I would add that if you experience the woofer clicking again with the same test you ran as before - even at low volume - that the original problem is not really power-related and is actually signal-related...and might be another finger pointing to... | |
| Crossover confusion Hi, first I’d like to know what slopes on the Bryston you’re using. The frequency choices of 70/hipass and 80/lopass should make for a rather wampy response overall, but I understand the limited selection choices with your equipment. A new standal... | |
| Interesting article on audiophiles and audiophilia Entertaining article. Probly the single-most accurately descriptive one on the nature of audiophiles themselves I believe I've ever read.Thanks for sharing. | |
| Weakest link Thanks for the kind words @inna. Wow, Paco de Lucia is definitely one I would love to hear live! | |
| Weakest link Thanks for lettin' me rant above, Inna...not that I give anybody much choice. ;>) | |
| Weakest link OTOH, I once had a setup that had a very relaxed, breezy kind of sound. But, it was soo relaxed it lost a sense of purpose with bass lines. Changing amps, as it turned out, to a nice, clean, tight signature was just what the doctor ordered. | |
| Weakest link If you will let me add, Inna, to what I posted above. All in all, what I’m saying really, is that this likely a ’stage’ that everyone seems to get to with their system and is often not to be taken lightly if one wants to successfully navigate thro... | |
| Weakest link I think you’ve already nailed it. It can be virtually impossible to confirm what the actual weak link is until you’ve made (usually) at least Some sort of substitution. Sometimes even rudimentary substitutions can be rather illuminating on a given... | |

| Dedicated Line Noise Filter? If you feel sure this is a mains noise level issue and not some kind of equipment thing going on, then I would recommend Alan Maher Designs, despite that most audiophiles have little or no experience with them. I’ve been dealing with Alan since 20... |
