WHY CABLES MATTER!
tonywinga So this video, which we are listening to on our phones/computer is supposed to show us how bad music reproduction is by comparing it to a natural voice speaking at the same time- through our computer/iphone speaker. Mr. Spock would say... 
WHY CABLES MATTER!
kevn You see, getting into hifi audio is much like getting an education, albeit one in listening, and hearing. In a similar way photographers learn how to ‘see’ better, an audiophile learns how to hear, and listen better, for nuance, inflection,...

Top Audiophile companies over the last 60, or so, years..your choices?
Sadly, no audio company eliminated the coloration, glare, and veil from audio sound. And no company makes a natural sound. Only top audiophile company is Wavetouch audio which makes a cleanest fatigue free natural sound. ML 23 was one of bests de... 
If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments?
emergingsoul OP It’s not rocket science, if you have an echo room get a rug, buy some furniture and maybe stick an absorption panel on one of the walls and corners. I agree 100%. That is how I did for my room (few 1st reflection points treated... 
I see the issue with ABX blind testing
I'm content with where I've ended up  on  this journey & you sound like you are too. We can part as friends & move on. I wrote a trap (bit offensive) in my defense. This thread has been a joy to me. I learned few lessons and I like this... 
I see the issue with ABX blind testing
dwcda OP With usual my computer speaker (Bose companion 3),best sound (0:17), 2nd best (0:50), Worst (1:08). This shows the difference between listening to sound where we know what we’re hearing and can be influenced vs a blind test. I agree.... 
People complain about lack of bass, not enough mid range. Solution?
OP People complain about lack of bass, not enough mid range. Solution? You mean the sound of the original music. We don’t want any more bass or mid than the original sound. It won’t be a nice sound. What we want is the recreation of the origin... 
I see the issue with ABX blind testing
@ tonywinga, @donavabdear To evaluate the sounds, one needs to check the state of ears. Human ears trick our perception of sounds. A same sound can be heard much different by ears. In below video, the sound at 0:27 seems pretty quiet, but the sa... 
What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
I live recorded below music with my system (source: modded Oppo BDP-95) to compare with the one of best systems in the world. Alex/WTA Original music. MBL system.  
I see the issue with ABX blind testing
dwcda OP @mihorn You chose the JPS cord as the best & worst sound, the WT v2 was your second best choice. I agree with @mahgister they all sound the same. I mis-estimated my cond. I listened lots of other people’s violin videos at WBF this... 
I see the issue with ABX blind testing
dwcda OP Anyone in an optimized room with a balanced system want to give their impressions on the 7 power cords in this file? With usual my computer speaker (Bose companion 3), best sound (0:17), 2nd best (0:50), Worst (1:08). I mentioned ma... 
I see the issue with ABX blind testing
dwcda OP @mihorn I listened to that on my system & heard no difference between any of the 4. Is it just me? Has anyone listened to those 4 recordings and heard differences? Thank you for your honest feedback! 1st, it’s hard to notice the... 
I see the issue with ABX blind testing
OP    There is no way my brain is retaining what I previously heard and then comparing it to what I currently hear. I agree. So, I record the sound each time I change any cable or equipment. Can you post any live-record video? This is my video...
