| Hype, Hyperbole and high price! I always seem to like Orvis for clothes and of course there is always Nordstrom. Would be cool to see a Nordstrom electronics and hifi department. Lots of good quality stuff available via amazon of course not everything is a gem. | |
| "High End" Bluetooth Receivers - Snake Oil? I have a Bluetooth speaker I use that sounds very good for what it is (Harmon Kardon Onyx Studio 2). It uses Bluetooth 3. I also only use wifi currently to my good hifi systems but am optimistic with the latest and greatest Bluetooth technology fo... | |
| "High End" Bluetooth Receivers - Snake Oil? wtf what Bluetooth device did you use it with? Thanks. | |
| Hype, Hyperbole and high price! ’Look, let me give you some advice while we’re or least I am on the subject. If you want to be somebody and be a big star in the eyes of the Naysayers and Pseudo Skeptics and other assorted tweakaphobes, obviously something to which you aspire. Co... | |
| Hype, Hyperbole and high price! Geoff, those teletubbies would kick your invincible butt! Don't think otherwise. :^) | |
| Hype, Hyperbole and high price! There is no doubt that all wires do not sound the same although many may sound more similar than different. There are basic electronic principles that alone explain why. Plus I actually hear differences in certain cases. Just avoid cheap wires and... | |
| "High End" Bluetooth Receivers - Snake Oil? I agree with kijanki. Audio engine is a reputable company with a focus on sound quality claiming cd quality sound for their Bluetooth 4 based device and I see no technical reason that would not be possible as described. I suspect no snake oi... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Op my main point is one can predict how a fuse might sound in another system better or worse based on what they've heard or others say but they cannot know. There is a difference. The prediction could turn out to be right or not for many reasons... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... " I know what these fuses bring to a good system."Charles in all seriousness how many good systems have you heard with these?How do you know all good systems will respond similarly?If they do not does that mean the system is not good? | |
| FUSES??? Just when I just replaced all my PC cords. If its a good product and has good sound, chances are they made very educated decisions about the fuse just like everything else that goes into the design. Why did they not use a fuse that costs the end buyer $100 and the seller likely a small fra... | |
| Hype, Hyperbole and high price! Geoff have fun jibing. Me no play. Just stay on topic. | |
| Hype, Hyperbole and high price! Obviously those who’ve been around and know the system need no warnings.Its those trying to learn still that might appreciate hearing the old news discussed again.Maybe idealistic young folks with technical knowledge might make things better in th... | |
| Hype, Hyperbole and high price! The unwritten law seems to be that it is OK for marketers to exaggerate. Its all part of the game. Right or wrong, it helps keep goods flowing and our economy going. But its never Ok to outright lie. At some point when vendors cross the b... | |
| Hype, Hyperbole and high price! I occasionally transform into Madman, especially when the nonsense or propaganda detector goes off, but I do try to resist. I do believe that value is in the eye of the buyer and that knowledge and understanding is always the best ticket.Knowledge... | |
| Hype, Hyperbole and high price! Its a good topic. How about addressing that and calling a cease fire on all personal attacks or judgements. |
