| Science that explains why we hear differences in cables? I had an electrician help me wire my house. Whole new service, new panel, the works. Didn't just do it, helped me do it. Learned a lot. But I am no electrician. Read on to see what I mean. Building inspector comes out and to me it was like every ... | |
| Dustcover Blues For anyone following along, now one week in, this is the price you pay for being a, well this guy. Simple enough problem yet no one has figured it out let alone provided the solution. Don't be that guy. What guy? This guy: Don't listen to me.... | |
| One big reason why brick and mortar high end audio dealers struggle. Nice try. But tubebuffer mangled prose still way better. | |
| Audiophile Fuses - Are We Certain They Provide Protection? Same thing happened to me. Only instead of giving up and going back to crap I called High-End Electronics and picked their brains. Then called Keith Herron and picked his. Even after stuffing my cranium there is plenty left in his, so relax. Then ... | |
| Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker? The human ear brain processing can differentiate between the initial primary sound and the reflected sounds so long as there is enough time between those sounds. Something that microphones are challenged to do. So true. I once challenged a dipo... | |
| Townshend Maximum Supertweeters Of course I'm still using them. Haven't yet got around to experimenting with different placement but that is because of being so happy with them right where they are. We did have one interesting experience recently. A younger audiophile was here... | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses When I was young and playing tournament racquetball there was this one young kid Keith who was always there hours before I got there after work, always there when I went home. Not just playing games, he would practice drills, run the court, and wh... | |
| Tonearm for Technics SP-15 My suggestion is avoid connections wherever possible, especially with cartridge output. This means no removable headshells, or armwands, or interconnects. This one thing alone will get you more performance for your audiophile dollar than anything ... | |
| Measuring Turntable Platter Speed Sorry, but how will measuring help? Won't. All it will do is quantify and confirm what you already know. If the wow seems related to platter rotation that points towards the bearing. Which you would want to clean and lube anyway as that is the nex... | |
| WTF: uncontrolled Tsunami of Spam pure crap post arising on AGON daily Having to scan past scores of irrelevant off topic nonsense hoping to find the occasional nugget worth reading. Situation normal. At least we now know the level it has to go for some to notice. | |
| Adding an ignore list feature to audiogon Polarization is a thing. Applying double-standards to different people is not helping. | |
| What happened? Typically arrogant response. My 15 years in health care corroborates everything hhscott said. Especially the last few years it has really gotten obvious. Physician, MD, used to be a profession. Doctors used to practice medicine. Now they follow pr... | |
| Have you ever been turned off by an Arrogant Dealer? Thoughts The list of turnoffs is a long one, but the closest to arrogant I have seen was really more elitist than arrogant. Or greedy. What is the word for when they radiate the impression you aren't worthy to lick their shoes? That you should write a chec... | |
| D’Agostino progression preamp Was about to award steampunk points. But is steampunk a plus or a minus? | |
| Measuring Turntable Platter Speed Wow is one of those things that seems clear but really must be specified in order to get it right. Wow factor, wow that sound, and wow you got it for what are all important. Can we even agree we all are going for wowza? |
