| Would you buy a pair of speakers by just looking at the measured freq. response? The original question in this post is an important one, vitally so for an ambiguous assumption inherently made in its wording, and taken up by the many responses that follow. This assumption concerns the phrase “to listen first”, generally interpr... | |
| Swiss Digital FUSE BOX Question Thread Hi there mark, I contacted you earlier regarding the possibility of a 240V version of the fuse box - are you any closer to this? Thanks much! In friendship - kevin. | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? @thyname @steakster Thanks for your kind words. I’ve occasionally found that what we sense as aggression or arrogance is often a cover for uncertainty and sincere confusion or the frustration of inability to communicate more clearly 😉🙏🏻 @do... | |
| When are speakers considered Hi-Fi and not Mid-Fi??? @dean_palmer I believe it’s been said many times before, that ‘hi-fi’ comes from the term high fidelity, and that high fidelity is about bringing the original signal from source to ear with as little added and taken away as possible….with as lit... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? @donavabdear I have some questions for you, and some suggestions to make that might help your troubled journey. You had mentioned earlier that you have personally heard Anthony Hopkins in direct conversation and know what his actual voice... | |

Just not as much as cycling and listening to music, as I suspect is the same for almost all of us : ) @tomic601 - ... | |
| Convincing your local dealer to let you try speakers at home @hilde45 - you're so welcome, hilde ; ) - with deeper consideration, I hope you too come to see how different the test drive of a performance car, or any other fully developed system for an experience is, to that of a single hifi component : ) I ... | |

| Convincing your local dealer to let you try speakers at home Hilde, I haven’t fully thought through every instance of product purchases, but I have a very strong feeling audio demos are far more difficult to undertake than any other sort of thing. The reason being that at the level most of us are in, rarely... | |
| Convincing your local dealer to let you try speakers at home Hi there hilde: ) - I found my best way forward was putting myself in the shoes of any dealer I met.
