What is wrong with audiophiles?
The OP has done quite the opposite, majority of his posts stems from his biased opinion instead of actual experience with the product or accessory under discussion. TOTAL FAIL! So total in fact it has nothing to do with audiophiles at all. If t... 
What is wrong with audiophiles?
Ordinary people should be so blown away by your system I doubt they would say it sounded any different because you took off a cable elevator. Have them close their eyes next time instead of you talking it up first. As a matter of fact what happens... 
What is wrong with audiophiles?
So the non-audiophile, average human being talked about the soundstage collapsing and image depth changing? Yes, very interesting!Not in those exact words, but yes, definitely. A more literally accurate quote would be, "Its like before it was lik... 
channel imbalance freak out
How many times is a perceived problem, just operator error?If the problem is bad sound then: always.Speaking of operator error, you just cleaned. Good. But did you take apart and clean all the connections? Anything more than a few months and you w... 
VPI's new "Vanquish" Ultra High-End turntable is a STUNNER!
As the owner of a Teres table and Verus motor for over 15 years reading about this VPI and the reaction to it is almost comical. Chris Brady developed a direct drive way back then, and was a lot more open with it leaving little doubt the vast majo... 
Heavy power cord
Yeah, dream on. They ain't changing' nuttin.Electrical heat shrink wrap will stay in place without adhesive making it better than tape. Ceramic cable elevators are primarily for improved sound. Try and see. 
Thank You, Audiogon Community
After many years trying to get really good bass and being totally frustrated I one day here came across the distributed bass array. Usually when someone really figures out how to do something this hard they keep it to themselves. Especially if the... 
Any recommendations for aftermarket C-7 power cord for Bluesound Node 2i
How can one justify a power cord that cost just as much as the component?When one upgrades the wire and it improves the sound at least as much as when one upgrades the components the wire is connected to, and for about the same cost, what more jus... 
Looking At CD Players
Take whatever you were planning on spending and put it into modding the Oppo. As others have said its already better than most and with mods it will be a whole lot better. I've compared and a modded Oppo is awfully good.  
Tube amp kit build question
It seems like a good kit but the instructions are absolute crap. Sounds more like a box of parts than a kit.You might try looking for any numbers on the transformer, plugging what you can find into a browser, crossing your fingers hoping for a ... 
Help me with decision
Its actually quite simple. Go and listen to everything you can find locally. What sounds good to you is all that matters. What someone here says means nothing. No one here lives in Brazil, no one has your budget, or ears, or room. Only you.When yo...

Room correction in noisy environment (ARC, Dirac, Minidsp, REW)
First chance you get, go on-line, look up Fletcher-Munson curves. Then do a search for room reinforcement, nodes, frequency and speaker placement. If you're smart it should take like maybe an hour to understand that no matter how quiet you can get... 
How may a simple "Power Cable" change, improve an audio system?
Old news. How old? I was introduced to this back in 1990.For those who are bad at math, we're only about a month or two shy of that being 30 years ago.Okay. So now here's the thing- the question of WHY, at least as it relates to what to look for, ... 
Heavy power cord
if power cable is mostly (or completely) in the air then you need a longer power cord, which will keep majority of its weight on the floor. This is one of the easiest things to test. Simply listen with everything laying on the floor. Then listen...
