| Question for cable/wire naysayers..... Although double-blind is a pain and I've found single-blind (level-matched and without tells) to work just as well for informal tests and be quick and easy. Having been a participant in blind tests myself, I now totally ignore all subjective v... | |
| how much should you spend on cable? how much should you spend on cable? However much you can afford. | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? what can you possibly "expect" from a $25 fuse in a $60K system that already sounds great. That's just it, "expectation bias" will ring forth after spending $$$ on a 10c fuse.Cheers George And the problem is ... If it works so who care how it... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Actually I feel sorry for trolls can’t hear differences with fuses, super duper clocks ... and especially cables. Double blind test ... Either you’re deaf or what the hell is your system???Hope you’re enjoying the music. Boy you’re missing out! | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? @jakeman Waste of money . I don't think you will hear a difference in voodoo fuses or magic clocks or super expensive cables . But hey , its our hobby , so if you have money that does'nt interfere with monthly bills , have fun ! You need a hi... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? When I start listening to the difference sound for which direction I installed a fuse, I'm not listening to music anymore. I'm searching for extremely subtle changes in sound quality that may or not even be there, but certainly ignoring a grea... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Nice dodge. The point was that designers think about how to design their best sound into a component within a certain price range and given more $$ would choose to spec a better traditional component that they feel more confident in than a fus... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? So you don’t think a designer ever thinks, "I wish I could spec XXX, but just too pricey"? C’mon. Why are there "SE" editions? Good business sense?? They trickle out changes whether SE or new models to generate interest. So you propose compan... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? HA HA HA. Why don't they use better resistors, capacitors, chokes or transformers, chassis metal thickness, feet, etc. Cost to price ratio? I think those would make bigger improvements than some fuses IMO. Why not just use a copper bar?Any... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Same reason MOST companies don’t supply NOS tubes for stock ... matter of personal preferences, no best! Let owner decide/roll for themselves. | |
| What Is The Cost Of Amplifier Casework? So you would pay Porsche prices for a Porsche built car that looked like a Gremlin? IMO, car is more status symbol than an amp. You drive a car in public and listen in private. I enjoy listening in the dark so who cares?The best is TriPoint ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Minus the ridiculous political diversions ... +1 ... and I thought this is an audio forum. | |
| KT150s in Audio Research Reference 75 (non SE) By the way. I dropped a set of Audio Research sourced KT150s, no problem, they biased w/ ease.How do they compare to KT120s? | |
| Silly prices for Nordost cables If the manufacturers convince us that someone is actually buying this stuff then they can convince the average consumer that $500 to $1000 for speaker cables is inexpensive. I have to say that their marketing is working. I have spent more on m... | |
| KT150s in Audio Research Reference 75 (non SE) My guess is the tubes. In 2015, ARC officially approved running KT150s in non SE and other non reference models.BTW, SE shares same transformer as Non SE ... most obvious differences are caps and wires. |
