Do your ears deceive you?
@coralkong - simple for us, but not so for the many audiophiles who may have just started out with perhaps less developed listening ability - I was one once, you see. As with trained photographers, who observe and see with great skill, learning ho... 
Do your ears deceive you?
For those audiophiles following this thread and are still on the fence as to what to believe, there is no easy-to-grasp one answer fits all. Some cables in fact do not make a difference, regardless of their cost; some do, but in very small degre... 
Your Most Prominent Audio Component
@bolong - what you say may well be true, but the basis for determining what sounds realistic to each of us comes from the same sources that create sound waves, which pass through air and into our ears. We may well hear differently, but what we ide... 
Eversolo or Aurender: Options and Opinions
@tony1954  no worries ; ) - but just so there is no misunderstanding, the digital fuse box is a device you plug between the wall outlet/power distributor, and the specific piece of equipment the fuse of which it will be replacing, so concrete floo... 
Eversolo or Aurender: Options and Opinions
@tony1954 an alternative thought is, you could get the cheapest reliable server of those you’re already considering, and put up an additional usd300 for a Swiss digital fuse box, if all still falls within budget at days end - more than any other... 
Why Preamps Thump on Turn on
This happens with asr amir too - in his rush to have a reply for everything in making response to anything, he too never reads first much, in then making an answer to an entirely different issue of his own manufacture. 😆  
Audiophilism is a hobby
@engineears - thanks for your lovely post : ) - I’d just like to say, that to many, the journey and the end are one and the ever evolving same - that every part of being simply lost in the music; the search for that transparency and realism of whi... 
WHY CABLES MATTER!
Oh, and yes, all preferences aside, it would be great for everyone, brothers included, to better understand the relationships of specific context in order to develop a more nuanced sense of taste 😂  
WHY CABLES MATTER!
@tonywinga  i think the apology is mine to extend, I am sorry for not speaking more plainly. My use of ‘he term ‘notwithstanding’ was not in disagreement to your post, but in addition and perhaps even extension to it. I do feel too that wavetouch... 
WHY CABLES MATTER!
@smurfstain I am so sorry for my earlier rambling post that caught the wrong kind of attention. What I had meant to say, in response to your very specific original questions, was that learning how to listen is the only way to answer your questi... 
WHY CABLES MATTER!
@calvinj Thanks for your kind words, and yes, cables do make a difference. It is a difference I would never have truly learned about, if I hadn’t been fortunate enough to have had access to demo a huge variety of them in the familiarity of my ow... 
WHY CABLES MATTER!
@squared80  my post was about the only system you can improve at no monetary cost, your listening ability - it wasn’t about the money one chooses to spend on cables, a silly issue that imposes your limits, or lack of, upon someone else. We sum... 
WHY CABLES MATTER!
Hi @smurfstain - it’s been awhile since the last post, but if you’re still following this thread, I wanted to tell you I had a similar experience to yours when I first started out about five years ago. I didn’t really know what I wanted, what was ... 
Heavy speakers: How to be able to reposition?
Hi @musicfan2349 - I just came across your post and was thinking, if you hadn’t yet got those sliders, and your listening space is planned to be hard-floored, that you could use the placement plinths I designed for my 85kg apiece speakers. They wo... 
What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another?
@jji666 “I believe I've already done this without having to take it anywhere.  I've built all level of servers, from the AudiophileStyle's totally quiet fanless model with no moving parts and using the various OS tweaks that are/were supposed to...
