Other factors affecting sound
hi there ei001h - the biggest leap in sound quality I ever got in my system was by running a dedicated 10gauge furutech CB10 line from my distribution board connected with a 50amp german made circuit breaker. But I didn't run the line to a wall ou... 
Elrog 300b vs we300b
Thanks so much for calling me out for clarification, charles1dad, and do excuse me - the KR tubes I was referring to were NOS mid90s 300B I bought for about USD800 about a year ago, no where near 'a fraction' of the EMLs, but still a lot cheaper t... 
What makes the biggest difference in sound quality?
thanks much for your reply, ted : ) - kevin  
What makes the biggest difference in sound quality?
hi ted, may I confirm by your most recent post that your own order would generally begin with power cords? how would you rate the others after that, in this case, or correct my assumption, otherwise?  
Elrog 300b vs we300b
hi there smodtactical : ) - I've had WE pre and post 80s, takatsukis, elrogs, KR audio, and different psvanes, among others, in my LM845P fronted system and only the Chinese tubes and others don't sound quite as realistic. Every single other has a... 
Putting listening ability to rest - privately
This was supposed to be private, guys - but since you’ve made your results public, I think it should be said that audiophilia is about the ability to listen through the noise, big or small - nuance isn’t just about the skill to hear differences of... 
Describe the sound of point source loudspeakers?
As in a speaker with a single driver that covers the entire frequency range? 
Describe the sound of point source loudspeakers?
hi there tuberist : ) - is what you meant by 'point source' loudspeakers those that do not have multiple drivers that require crossovers internally and good geometries for their drivers externally, such that the sound waves from each driver arrive... 
Science that explains why we hear differences in cables?
Thanks for your clarification, perkri, as well as your relevant comments regarding the true nature of science and possibility : )You have made a good case for the combined presence of expressed and intended visual recording being around much longe... 
Science that explains why we hear differences in cables?
Perkri, I want to tell you that I enjoyed very much your post regarding the comparison between recorded images and recorded sound, as it gave me much to think about. However, I do not think it is an accurate comparison, and that I believe you may ... 
Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
Hi pulinap, this response is coming a little late I think - David alerted me to your post regarding the nenuphar, and from a read, I see it in specific reference to ‘holographic imaging, overall balance, and bass performance’.ok then, I’m running ... 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
djones51/ dletch2 - I think I have finally figured out where the dogma lies, and it is silly for us to go on about it. You both believe that all the complexities of timbre can be measured definitively in their passage as signals through a cable, a... 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
“Cables do not transmit sound. The transmit electrical energy, or voltage potentials depending on whether a load is connected or not.” - dletch2The point here is not whether cables transmit sound, but rather, if what we measure of them in reverse ...

https://www.google.com/amp/s/abcnews.go.com/amp/Technology/research-helping-scientists-understand-humans-recognize-voices-computers/story%3fid=60699647And so, I wondered - if human beings are not only able to recognise human voices quicker and bet... 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
“Finally this article about polynesian "primitive" navigators about to "see" their routes around islands very afar in the pacific is astounding about the INTERNAL GPS of human and say a lot about underestimating the perception of humans ” - mahgis...
