| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? Short attention span theater intermission.The subject was the premise double blind testing is inappropriate and meaningless. The supporting evidence is a study involving speech recognition. The flaw in the reasoning, no evidence is given that spee... | |
| Adjusting the sonic fingerprint of a system. Does it matter? These are all digital after all. So elevator music, basically. Who cares? | |
| EXTRA! EXTRA!! Millercarbon Proven Wrong!!! Read all about it! EXTRA! EXTRA!! This is clearly explained in my review and in the thread, but just to reiterate the cables I got were Mr White and Mr Silver. Technically they weren't anything just cables, I only gave them these names myself just to avoid clumsy writing like, "th... | |
| What is better, analog or digital? Of Course this is MHO Using a Rega Planer 1 w a cheaper Project phono amp. Let the debate begin, and what should i change out first for better soundYou answered your own question: change out the cheap phono stage. https://www.decware.com/newsit... | |
| What is an audiophile? Are you an audiophile? No. I am not an audiophile. I am the audiophile. | |
| Power cable education needed So then can you please explain to me what these giant power cords bring to the table? I purchased a couple and I couldn’t notice a difference. I’ve got good hearing and approximately 50 K in my system. I’m trying to figure out what a $10,000 Power... | |
| Burning in newly rebuilt crossover capacitors The main difference I have noticed is off vs on. When on they burn in. When off they do not. The only time volume seems to matter at all is the physical drivers. Even then it is more something people say or that seems to make sense than anything I... | |
| My conclusion: mid level $$ analog vs digital It's a lot of fun to reach a point with analog gear where it sounds better than digital. It sure is. That point is called the gramophone, and once you hear one you will never forget. | |
| Cables, just as important as a hi end component? Been saying for years wire is every bit as important as any other component. The essential components of a high end system are source, amp, speaker, and wire. Four equally essential components. My rule of thumb, 25% on each. The thing is, the corr... | |
| Power cable education needed I can't spell Synergistic either. They are however my favorite. Not necessarily because they are the very best. But because they have been so consistently good for so many years there are a ton of them out there and so whatever your budget you can... | |
| Power cable education needed Companies don't include power cables because: specialization.It really is that simple. If you are using freebie rubber power cords then everything out there is such a big step up you cannot possibly go wrong. If you want better then buying a power... | |
| Does tube testers tell how much life is left for tubes? You can take a brand new tube that tests perfectly (this is after all the way they leave the factory) put it in your amp and watch it blow the first week. You can take another brand new tube that tests perfectly put it in the same amp and it lasts... | |
| Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Interconnects - Less is More! I have been a lifelong proponent of integrated amps, and tube integrated in particular for a good 30 years now. But that was always with the understanding separates are ultimately better, it is just that you have to get up into a very high range o... | |
| My conclusion: mid level $$ analog vs digital Just by chance the CD happened to come out when I was just out of college, broke, and moving around a lot. My turntable and records were boxed up. By the time I had anything to put into audio it seemed CD was the way to go. Several years of seriou... | |
| Favorite cable brand. Just look at the huge list of companies making big money out of gullible audiophiles. I don't say cables can't make a difference but hasn't it all got a bit silly?I note that each post names yet another cable as favourite. Surely if there is big... |
