| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? @grunge1000 In regards to $2000 PCs, I think you'll find most here, me included, in thinking it's overkill. I've only spent as much as $500 for some PCs and found easily discernible differences and at that point, called it a day and just listened ... | |
| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? @grunge1000 Your hypotheses of all the variances in power that a power line goes through in it's 100s of miles journey presupposes variances in its power delivery, cleanliness and stability, so why would it matter by the time you get in at your ... | |
| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? How did you get "aging electrons" from this? It was never stated or implied. What's with the trolling? Is it that the more it makes sense, the more you refuse to entertain the idea? I'm glad you don't hear a difference but to pollute a thread on... | |
| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? Hook up your system to at any point in those 100s of miles of transmission, at step up transformers, step down transformers, at 25 yr old 6 GA and 12 GA wiring, and your system will sound different at all the points you choose. One can't argue tha... | |
| A special loudspeaker - Revival Audio Atalante 5 @jbhiller Thanks for the information. Now I'll spend the next week analyzing my room and maybe change things around. All the best, Nonoise | |
| A special loudspeaker - Revival Audio Atalante 5 Hi jbhiller, my room is around 10.5' by19.5' but my listening space is 10.5' by 13'. One side opens to the rest of the place allowing SPLs to bleed out to the side. I used to run JBL 4319 monitors which are ever so slightly smaller than the 5s a... | |
| And a Ho! Ho! Ho! To All! I think it's due to images not posting. At least I hope it's that. | |
| And a Ho! Ho! Ho! To All! Happy Holidays to one and all! All the best, Nonoise | |
| Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs? When I asked one of the owners of the company that makes my cables why he's getting into streaming he said he'd settle for 85% of what he can get out of his CDP and TT for casual listening. They have four completely different systems that they tes... | |
| 2024 Form 1099-K IRS tax reporting threshold on PayPal? All the best, Nonoise | |
| Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs? To all the audiophiles who have for decades touted that the shortest signal path is the best so many times that it's become conventional wisdom, how do you reconcile that with a signal that can (theoretically) be transmitted halfway around the pla... | |
| Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs? This has been discussed to death but yea, I like and prefer CDs. As others here whose opinions I value have said, one would have to invest at least as much into streaming as they have for their CD setup and that, I'm not willing to do. Way too man... | |
| Is the microwave the perfect model for audio marketting? On a more granular level, the Dreo Chefmaker should be the model that audio follows. It does everything rather well, and all in one box. All the best, Nonoise | |
| The end of physical media is neigh AI is today's cotton gin. You can say the same about streaming. Pretty soon AI will be used to seal the deal with some variation of this to win you over and you'll be content, happy in knowing just how convenient everything is: https://www.youtub... | |
| A special loudspeaker - Revival Audio Atalante 5 Congrats on your Atalante 5 speakers. I have the Atalante 3 and love what they do and plan on getting the 5s if and when I get a bigger place. Revival recommends at least 30 sq meters for them to sound their best but I have my doubts as I used to ... |
