| Power Cord brands mixing. "Your Opinions" whiole empirical experience can build confidence, there is no logical basis or necessary condition which makes one brand of cables throughout a stereo system superior to multiple brands.how do you prove this ? remember, the goal is to enjoy the mu... | |
| AQ HDMI Cables i have had experience with one of the aq hdmi cables--don't remember the model. i used it between the pwt and pwd.compare the aq to the harmonic technology. | |
| Building a System around Magnepan Speakers... i own the 1.6's. i have powered it with a tube amp and several solid state amps.i have found that i prefer the sound of the mids and highs with tubes, but the bass has more impact and greater extension with a ss amp.i have yet to find an ss amp wh... | |
| Equipment you just must get if you can cj 125 amp, which is my favorite amp. | |
| Have digital players improved hi tim:for the record the sound i most preferred was the following system:stacked quad esls, 4 quad mono tube amps, mac c22 pre, thorens td 124 table, with ortofon cartridge and arm.i have heard many systems since 1966, when i owned the above, and... | |
| Have digital players improved one can make the case that components of the 60's through the 80's, when configured sound better than today's better stereo system.the point is "better" sonically is highly subjective. | |
| The amazing new Marigo Evolution Signature Mat no one has contradicted the notion that some cd players are mat insensitive, or when a mat is used it degrades the sound.although not related to this thread, there may be tube preamps which are insenitive to tube changes. | |
| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? for the record, any statements i have made regarding audio matters are opinions. i do not claim to have any knowledge in areas where knowledge is obtained via sense perception. | |
| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? hy byron:i can provide a definition of knowledge:here it is:justified true belief. justification requires proof and knowledge implies certainty.if you consider the above dogmatic, so be it.the above definition is not otiginal.i would also apprecia... | |
| Have digital players improved improvements in sound are highly subjective.i prefer some older digital gear to many of today's digital products.so i would say, it's a matter of opinion and one's criteria of what good sound is. | |
| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? hi almarg:what you "experience" is only probably true and you have confidence that it is.yet because of the possibility that in the future you may have a different experience, there is only a high probability that what you have experienced is true... | |
| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? the issue is:can knowledge come from sense perception ??if not, knowledge is derived from premises and assumptions, and d efinitions.euclidian geometry, trigonometry, and boolean algebra are examples where knowledge occurs.as i said it is fruitles... | |
| Power Cord brands mixing. "Your Opinions" hi doug:i think you are the one who needs to offer evidence.you have not defined mediocre sound and your idea of what it is vs superior sound is still your opinion.since you have not yet sampled all combinations of cables, your sample is incomplet... | |
| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? hi byron and almarg:to effectively discuss epistemological matters would require a face to face encounter, which is infeasible.byron is correct, i am a radical skeptic, as i do not accept knowledge that is derived from the senses, as it is based u... | |
| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? hi Byroncunningham:since components are inaccurate , a stereo system is inaccurate.knowledge is analytic a priori. it exists in the realm of mathematics and logic, where it is absolute. for example, given axioms, postulates, and other "rules" base... |
