| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? It might be unwise to extrapolate too much from this very interesting study: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/2800197 But it would seem to me that making an effort to broaden your horizons and seek out challenging music as ... | |
| Fee for home audition That's disgraceful. My dealer in the UK drove an hour and a half to drop off demo speakers (ATC SCM40), despite me being a new customer to him. Not only that. Once I'd placed my order for them, he loaned me a pair of SCM19s to tide me over for ... | |
| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? I'm 51 and I've never been so attuned to new releases as I am now. Streaming has opened up a huge world to me. Weekly, I scan album reviews on Pitchfork, NME and The Guardian - it's amazing how often a cracking album gets overlooked by at least ... | |
| SOtM dCBL-CAT8M - Is this the new reference in LAN cables? @in1voice , regarding the ER's A and B side, the Uptone guys state that the full benefit is only derived from an input on the A side and the main component receiving the B side's output. The internal "moat" isolates any noise between the two side... | |
| SOtM dCBL-CAT8M - Is this the new reference in LAN cables? @in1voice , by the way, is this the full length CAT7u, or the short filterless version which comes with the red ISOCAT7? Yes, the clock made an enormous improvement, and continues to do so as it’s only 2 weeks old. It can take up to a month, appa... | |
| SOtM dCBL-CAT8M - Is this the new reference in LAN cables? Hi @in1voice I had a very similar setup to yours. It was: Netgear Orbi Satellite => ISOCAT7 => Cat7u => Innuos Zenith 3 I was in communication with May Park at SOtM at the time and this was the configuration she advised. I did also ... | |
| Ultimate test of bass - Lana del Rey's A&W Must be electronic. Nothing natural could generate such a force. | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers @sns I just noticed a comment you made on 28th Jan about the addition of the Finisar 1475 being the final upgrade of your ethernet stage. Can I ask your impressions of it? I'm at the same stage. I have the FTLX1471D3BTL and am very happy with ... | |
| A SHOCKING DISCOVERY ABOUT DIGITAL AUDIO Clickbait, and in upper case too. You got me. | |
| To extend Ethernet to remote location, are Powerline extenders or Mesh systems better? Over the years I’ve had two sets of Powerlines, and they’ve worked, but are limited. I never used powerline while I had a high-end hifi. Therefore, I would question how a high frequency powerline signal on your mains might affect your hifi compo... | |

| Will increasing speaker cable AWG make a difference in sound quality? If the cable is Duelund, then the quality remains the same, but the sound signature changes. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/duelund-speaker-cable Duelund compared I prefer the 16 over the 12. Others don't. I do wonder, however, whethe... | |
| "Audiophile" Power Cables: The Greatest Audio Conspiracy Theory of All Time? The most lavish power cord in my system is Furutech DPS 4.1 for my amp. Can't say it made a difference. The other cords are either Belden 83803, or Supra LoRad, which are all good enough. Decent shielded metal is more than enough. What I woul... | |
| FAVORITE POWER CABLE under $100 (1M) I'd recommended either Supra LoRad 2.5 SPC CS or Belden, so long as it's well shielded with the shield earthed. I really don't see much point in spending more. MS HD power make great plugs. Easy to wire up with plenty of room in the UK wall plug... | |
| Duelund speaker cable @alexberger . My impression so far, after a day with the 16 is that the 12's bass is fuller, softer and a little slower. There appears to me a tighter faster, more textured bass with the 16s. For my system the balance of the 16s is spot on. The Go... |
