| Audiophile Jargon Demonstrated I think I can say that I've heard "grain" as well. I had a Cambridge Audio 840A integrated amplifier for a few months that just had a digital grunge sound to it and I think I even used the word "pixels" to describe the sound. I think almost all ... | |
| Two amps into one pair of speakers Before I got my custom switch built by an EE friend (it's setup to protect a tube amplifier at all times), I used 10AWG Blue Jeans speaker cables with the welded banana plugs and just swapped cables back and forth with my home theater receiver. I... | |
| Audiophile Jargon Demonstrated @tylermunns - The discussion that you're referring to is partly why I started this post. I can tell you that I have experienced PRaT in my system after swapping in a better power cable and interconnects. I believe that the previous tube rolling ... | |
| Speaker Switch That Protects Tube Amplifier @therandyman - Here you go. | |
| Audiophile Jargon Demonstrated Unfortunately, like many posts, this one has missed the intended mark. I am curious if any of these terms can be demonstrated. I'm not intending to be negative about the words at all. | |
| Two amps into one pair of speakers I'm guessing from the OPs description that it's not an issue as long as they are not both sending a signal that it's two amplifiers connected in parallel and not a bi-amp setup. I have a home theater receiver and Pathos integrated connected to my... | |
| What are some of the mistakes, failures or bad purchases of your audio history? Sometimes there's value in the journey, but with hindsight being 20/20 I could have skipped the detour on my way to owning my Pathos Classic One MkIII. I saw the Pathos in a local shop used and while it was a great price, it was more than I was i... | |
| Unusual Old School Way of Wiring Speakers @sworksone - Yes, indeed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hafler_circuit | |
| What Power Cords for Rel S510 Subs? @kingharold - Boring! Actually, I mostly started dabbling with cables out of a curiosity to see if I could hear a difference with my own ears and my own system. The end result was yes and a very nice improvement in my system. The experience did... | |
| What Power Cords for Rel S510 Subs? This is kind of a random way to approach this. I was looking at the Audioquest price book and noticed that their most expensive subwoofer cable retails for $340 for 2m. Contrast this with their most expensive interconnect that retails for $2,750... | |
| What Power Cords for Rel S510 Subs? @1971gto455ho - I assume that you believe that every audible difference can be easily measured. I was a cable skeptic for the most part until a few months ago. I got the itch dabble in the voodoo that is all things audiophile and opted to start ... | |
| Unusual Old School Way of Wiring Speakers I'm not having any luck finding anything about it, but I thought I read about connecting a rear speaker to one of the outputs (i.e. lefts or rights) from the main speakers with the result being a bit of a phantom channel the added some depth. Doe... | |
| Batteries in my Audioquest Colorado RCA interconnects @cinqcepages - There's all kinds of harm to possibly finding out that you can't hear a difference! It'll lead to some type of unhappiness. Is your system not good enough to hear the difference in? Is the DBS 72v a total scam and now you feel co... | |
| Washington Post article on MoFi vs. Fremer vs. Esposito I feel like this topic boils down to what the customer was intending to pay for. It seems that the people that are upset with MoFi are disappointed that the vinyl that they paid for wasn't the result of wholly analog processes. In my mind, there... | |
| NEWS FLASH!! Listening to Music is NOT a "Distraction." dis·trac·tion noun 1.a thing that prevents someone from giving full attention to something else: Is it possible that truly great music just might be the ultimate distraction? Can it stop you in your tracks while you're doing something ot... |
