| Most Beneficial Cable Upgrade If you haven't tested the cable change blindly, how do you know for sure?I am not saying cable changes have no effect on the sound, I have never tested cables, so I am still uncertain. But, there is a significant psychological component which can ... | |
| Most Beneficial Cable Upgrade Hotmailjbc,Your porch reponded better (better steering, better shocks, better tires, better acceleration, better transmission, better shift, better seats, etc); it performed better at 100 MPH than the Vega(and an any other velocity) than the Vega.... | |
| Most Beneficial Cable Upgrade P.S. Elizabeth,I agree with you, if it doen't sound to your liking right away (or within a few hours), it will never sound good; get rid of it. | |
| Most Beneficial Cable Upgrade Hi Elizabeth,You just touched on another major controversial topic in our great hobby. 'Break in'. Breakin of cable, amps, pre-amps, CD palyers, etc., is it real, placebo, or is it a miyth? My Esoteric K01 sounded great, brand nes, cold, right out... | |
| Most Beneficial Cable Upgrade Elizabeth,I think almost everyone who bothers to get involved in the Audiogon forum is an experienced hi end audio lover. Why else would they be here? Most of us in this forum are at least fairly experiemced in hi end audio. We are all here becaus... | |
| Most Beneficial Cable Upgrade Hotmailjbc,I am not saying that a perception of improved sonics with high end cables is due to placebo. I am saying placebo effect may have an influence on sonic perception. For example, I recently purchased an Esoteric K01 CD/SACD player. This is... | |
| Most Beneficial Cable Upgrade Elizabeth,You seem to be very angry and agitated. No one is critcizing you. No one is attacking wires. This happens to be a controversial and interesting topic. I intend to do my own power cable evaluation within the next couple of weeks. I may or... | |
| Most Beneficial Cable Upgrade Gsself,I do not know the answer, I have never compared power cables. My goal is two fold:1) Determine if I can detect the difference between stock cables and expensive high end cables. I have an excellent high end audio system, but have never both... | |
| Most Beneficial Cable Upgrade To All:Let's use the power of Audiogon and conduct our own objective test right here.I challenge you; try this very simple objective test. Set up an honest blind test with a friend (minimum of 10 repetitions, preferrably 20):Compare stock power ca... | |
| Most Beneficial Cable Upgrade Schipo,I suspect you are correct. High end audio manufacturers like Krell, for example, are in a very small, competitive, nitch market. Krell started marketing their own power cables only wihin the past few months. I know Krell is very concerned a... | |
| Most Beneficial Cable Upgrade Schipo,I think your expalantion is logical, it makes perfect sense. How could the last 6 feet of cable attached to the electrical outlet make such a difference when there a several hundred feet of standard wiring in the walls and out to the street... | |
| Led Zeppelen and Dire Straits Japanese SHM CD's Geoffkait,I have not listened to the Mothership CD's. But I have read several reviews stating that the Japanese SHM CD's are the best sonics available, including the Mothership version. That is unfortunate, from what I have heard on the Led Zeppel... | |
| Led Zeppelen and Dire Straits Japanese SHM CD's I received the Led Zeppelin SACD SHM Japanese limited box set yesterday. I have listened to portions of the first four discs. My initial impression is just O.K. Despite several rave reviews that i have read, I do not consider the sonics outstandin... | |
| Led Zeppelen and Dire Straits Japanese SHM CD's I have a couple of SACD SHM discs, they sound absolutely outstanding. I believe most, if not all, SHM CD's will eventually be available in SACD SHM, which probably sound better than the CD SHM discs.So, I am hesitant to buy the SHM CD's at this time. | |
| Krell S-150M Mono Blocks The Krell CX series amps are absolutlely superb, especially the monoblocks. I think the Evo e series amps are sliightly better. I had 450mcx's and loved them. I now have Evo 600e's (and S275's). |
