| Happy 4th of July This thread was a really bad idea.....I think your comments should be about hi-fi. This should not be a political thread. | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? $10,000 speaker cables | |
| Musicians in your living room vs. you in the recording hall? For rock concerts and orchestra I prefer my home theatre system. I put on Thunderstruck by AC-DC in the Live at Donington blu-ray the other day with the receiver set on DTS Neural X and about blew the windows out. I'm sure my L shaped living room ... | |
| Blind fold hearing test Doubt if I could tell the difference unless it was side by side. Glad I have not spent a $150,000 on sound system that in blind test I couldn't tell from a $1500 system. Did one of these tests on you tube to see how far my hearing has gone south. ... | |
| What system can adequately reproduce the sounds of a tanker being hit by torpedo ? Maybe Grateful Dead's wall of sound. Kendrick's big horned monsters about the size of my house. | |
| What’s your vote for the most ridiculous, overpriced, and useless tweak? cryogenically treating speaker cables. Back in around late '80's or early '90's cryoing rifle barrels was all the rage. Had one cryoed and it was 100 bucks pissed away. In spite of anecdotal evidence there is no proof that it does anything. | |
| Am I considered to be a materialistic person? Think materialism is part of human nature. Archaeologists have dug up ancient graves and found Og buried with favorite spears and trophy saber tooth tiger teeth, jewelry, medicine pouches etc. Regardless of what level we suffer from. Even homeles... | |
| Am I considered to be a materialistic person? Love my toys. I have three separate sound systems-one for vinyl, home theatre dolby atmos, and a small emotiva bas-x100 which I use with a pair of HD600 headphones and B&W 685 S2's and a thrift shop sony SACD 5 disc changer I found in a thrift... | |

| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance Sibilance exists in nature and in everyday conversation--ever hear somebody talk with their dentures out? There is nothing perfect in nature or the recording process. If a little or lot for that matter comes rolling out of the mouth of Linda Ronst... | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance Audioguy 85-just hear s's sizzling kinda and a little distortion. Kinda like running out of headroom. | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance Well, I suppose we all have to be OCD about something.....I have seen this Canadian on you tube, can't think of his name, think Farraway is his last who is a musician by trade and ends his rant with "remember, vinyl is final" he also crafts home b... | |
| Power amps into surge protector/Conditioner or DIRECT to wall? Final verdict? I have a Furman power conditioner (a cheap one bought on Amazon) to protect from spring thunderstorms. Back in the nineties a thunderstorm took out the memory on a Denon stereo receiver and I use at least a surge protector on other devices. Have n... | |
