| Have you reached your end point with this addictive hobby? I have two systems I'm extremely pleased with. One is my studio set up for my work (EDM producer,audio engineer, mastering engineer), and for my mains, I continue to find improvements. Just recently went from an Odyssey Kismet amp to a Pass labs... | |
| Disagreements and Conflicts between Audiophiles have we lost our brotherhood and maturity? I think the responses in this thread show us how strong the community is here at Audiogon especially. @052rc I agree most of the people OP is referring to are not audiophiles, but online trolls with nothing better to do than to talk smack to stra... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. This thread cannot die. It has been so utterly entertaining @samureyex @knownothing thanks for posting my exact thoughts. Making it super easy for me over here | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @oberoniaomnia "So the burden or proof is with those who think there is a difference" There should be no "burden of proof" in these matters. The burden of proof is for the individual to decide. Not for us to prove to the rest of the community ... | |
| Treating the ceiling and floor, who else has had great results? This is my studio room. Double clouds, full reflections covered. Built most of the panels myself with Mike Major at gik acoustics doing a 3D mockup of my room before I built it and filling in with diffusion absorption Alpha 6A panels and scatterin... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @hilde45 valid point. Measurements are for showing what's measured (duh). This can be invaluable when trying to match equipment to the room. But yes, at the end of the day, our ears have to like the results. I'm happy ASR exists for the purpos... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @analog_aficionado this seems like the most complete explanation of the disparity between certain audiophile communities and ASR. I'll try to enhance your points without reiterating too much. Measurements have their place. The measurements aren... | |
| What's the weakest link in my stereo set up? I live in a townhome, so limited on space. Nice work, OP! 👍 You were mentioning sub placenent etc. If there's a way to localized your sub(s) near your listening position, that would be huge for you in not annoying your neighbors. And I agree multiple smaller subs is probably the way to g... | |
| Are upgraded power cables for subwoofers worth it? That sounds great. How much do materials wind up running you for a single cable like a 1 meter? Just roughly I assume it can vary widely depending on component choices | |
| Are upgraded power cables for subwoofers worth it? @sns thanks for the detailed instructions. One of my best friends is a tinkerer that does all my soldering work so I may see if he's up for the job. If you are saying you're getting high end results at a fraction of the cost, I'm all ears. The ... | |
| Are upgraded power cables for subwoofers worth it? @sns that looks like a solid option. What do materials cost on those typically for you and how difficult are they to create? @knownothing good call on that. I figure these were at least OFC but my shunyata stuff is all OCC which is definitely ... | |
| Are upgraded power cables for subwoofers worth it? This is what I wound up going with. Well reviewed, thick gauge. I’ve also heard people say their isolation feet for speakers are real good for the price. If these offer an audible benefit on my second system, this may behoove me to install higher ... | |
| Are upgraded power cables for subwoofers worth it? @stereo5 yea I know the feeling. Plenty of gear I need to list as well I think I'm going to go with some of these well reviewed Amazon chi-fi ones and see what happens. Hard to justify nice 3 or 4 meter sub cables when I'm extremely pleased wit... | |
| Are upgraded power cables for subwoofers worth it? @stereo5 - you had thousands of dollars worth of cabling and power conditioning "just laying around" haha - must be nice - also good to hear that Sandy G would use the equipment too. I've really been impressed with Shunyata gear @docknow - inte... | |
| Are upgraded power cables for subwoofers worth it? Thanks everyone for the responses. Varying answers which I always appreciate. I have noticed power conditioning has helped my subs sound more tight and controlled so I figure a solid power cord may able to help as well. But I agree that going f... |
