| Why Do You Post? To learn about things I don't know, or to give insight on things I am certain about. | |
| "World's Best Cables" vs Audioquest interconnects To all, Actually read everything I wrote on this discussion without being skeptical. Use your common sense. Use your brains. And you will realize that I'm right. | |
| Fear Inoculum in Vinyl @ozzy62 Ozzy if I'm a troll, you must be donkey. Vinyl is an outdated, overhyped, technically inferior format. and on top of that vinyl is expensive. | |
| "World's Best Cables" vs Audioquest interconnects And no, cables do not need to be burned in. Save 100 hours of electricity or more! There is nothing mechanical about a cable. A new car requires burn in, a new amplifier, CD player, Or DAC also does. But not cables. Cable temperature only rises... | |
| "World's Best Cables" vs Audioquest interconnects If you want to be full proof, just keep your interconnects as short as possible and your speaker cables below the maximum length based on impedance and AWG. Cables are like a bridge for the audio signal and electrons to cross. Make sure that brid... | |
| "World's Best Cables" vs Audioquest interconnects Your audio cables shouldn't change the sound of your system. Instead, they should simply allow your system to perform normally. Cable resistance is the most important thing. Then comes compacitance and inductance. If a cable measures well on an a... | |
| "World's Best Cables" vs Audioquest interconnects Cables don’t burn in. Audio components do. Cables cannot transform a good system into an amazing one...unless you’re using the cables as a tone control. And of course, if your perceptions are in line with what you want to hear. Then you will be h... | |

| Fear Inoculum in Vinyl No. Vinyl has clicks, pops, and hiss. Even if you have an expensive turntable, your system will have nonlinearities that digital systems are immune to. Not saying digital is perfect, but it's still better. | |
| Fear Inoculum in Vinyl @slaw Even if that is true, it doesn't matter much. CDs have greater dynamic range than vinyl. And besides, we cannot hear ultrasonic frequencies and they do not exist in music. | |
| What are the good (inexpensive) headphone amps? Douk Audio U3! I bought it for only $40. Sounds great. | |
| Fear Inoculum in Vinyl Vinyl is still a very flawed playback medium. Limited dynamic range compared to the compact disc. | |
| How do you judge audio components and speakers? @pingstonsmile you said: I’ve heard more BAD room than good by a long shot. Everyone was pretty too. Cost the people 100k and still sound like crap.. Do you think they would listen. NO to busy LOOKING rather than listening. It looks pretty ... |
