| Double blind test- over a month- could this be a reliable test for any equipment? It is very common for those who are immature, inept and ineffective, especially in writing, to think they are funny, entertaining, or amusing while trolling, boring, and annoying. It is odd to think, conjecture, or contemplate how anyone unable,... | |
| Looking for my first DAC Mod the Oppo. By far the most cost-effective approach. All your money goes into boutique parts, vs hardly any when you buy a whole new component. | |
| Installation of new AC lines......best way to ground to avoid loops and noise The worst source of hum and main thing to avoid is plugging components into different legs. The three utility cables coming into the box are two hot leads and one utility neutral or ground wire. To this you add one earth ground. The two rows of br... | |
| Soundstaging and Imaging: Not an Illusion I would put speaker placement first. Other than that, what he said. | |
| Double blind test- over a month- could this be a reliable test for any equipment? No. Wrong. Only occasionally. So get your facts straight. | |
| Double blind test- over a month- could this be a reliable test for any equipment? Our perfect auditory recall period is about 10sec. If there is a minute difference you didn’t pick up immediately, it’s impossible for you to notice a change the next day. If I changed the volume of your setup by 2dB, I doubt a single person on ... | |

| Double blind test- over a month- could this be a reliable test for any equipment? Well, no, that's the point. Its not reliable. In fact its been proven not to work. This after all was the basis for some of the early codecs that were claimed to be scientifically tested identical sounding before everyone who actually heard them s... | |
| Double blind test- over a month- could this be a reliable test for any equipment? I once read that a/b-ing by switching back and forth during a track was the quickest way to missread true differences (as opposed to whole track with A, then whole track with B). And this was my experience...but a few people on another forum tol... | |
| Dealer Behavior Best dealer I ever knew was Stewart Marcantoni of Weekend Environments. Stewart was one of those guys who never really cared about much besides audio. One of the hardest things about this is how the very best stuff is so scarce and scattered aroun... | |
| Difference in sound between day and night. Help! Do you have to work at being irrelevant? Or does it come naturally? | |

| Difference in sound between day and night. Help! Right. And the brain is a sensitive radio transceiver that picks up extraneous information floating around at night. Got it. Thanks. | |
| Difference in sound between day and night. Help! whostolethebatmobile I have noticed the night/day effect for at least the past 25 years since I first bought electrostatic speakers. I tried all sorts of remedies, but as millercarbon said earlier - anything you do to make it better in the daytim... | |
| Great multichannel amps do not cut it in stereo I struggled a long time with this same problem. Fortunately by spending vast amounts of time not money. Time driving around listening bringing stuff home auditioning, until it was well and truly proven that genuine audiophile quality and conventio... |
