| Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects? The gauge of the wire in my Darwin ICs are somewhere in the 20s. I believe they get thinner the higher up you go in the line. I'm talking human hair thin (22GA) and was told that it's very labor intensive and part of their secret. The same weight ... | |
| A blessing? Or a curse? I think you mean people who think they hear better, but never really put that to the test should stop insulting others. All these people who claim they have "superior" hearing, rarely do but they certainly feel the need to tell everyone else they ... | |
| A blessing? Or a curse? I believe our hearing gets better as the night comes on. A combination of tiredness and an increased sensitivity survival mech?No doubt. One can't erase 200K+ years of evolution since we've only been "civilized" for about the past 12K years when w... | |
| A blessing? Or a curse? No two people see the same. I’ve had bad eyesight my entire life and after cataract surgery, I know see 20/20 in one eye and about 20/30 in the other (slight astigmatism). The blueprint in our DNA is not exact and varies greatly from person to per... | |
| *WHITE PAPER* The Sound of Music - How & Why the Speaker Cable Matters Mapleshade used to make flat copper ribbon ICs. I still have a pair. Also, Ed Shilling of Hornshoppe Horns used to make flat copper ribbon speaker cables many, many years ago. Both claimed they sound better than "normal" cables.All the best,Nonoise | |
| How it works! From a common man. I've always thought that there's no way in hell that both ends of the melt wire are connected in the exact same manner to the insides of the end caps. Because of assembly line automation, you'd have one kind of attachment point with the first end ... | |
| Questions that Never Die Is this a timely thread or a timeless thread? | |
| The conclusion I've reached about speakers I hope he understands the meaning of the word, conclusion, as he used it in his title, and spare us any more. | |
| The conclusion I've reached about speakers I'll second that. | |
| smaller speakers for critical listening? If you're in the Los Angeles area, contact Tony Minasian (Toninlabs.com) and arrange a listen to his latest effort, the G6 monitor. You'll stop searching right then and there.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Bought some 14/2 “speaker wire” from Home Depot Hey, I've got some string that used to work between two tin cans. Can I use that? | |
| Millercarbon's Mega Vibration Control Journey I'm a bit late to the game with isolation having only tried Herbie's products. They used to work for me and after a few rounds of component changes, the magic just wasn't there. In fact, those footers were having a negative effect so I stopped com... | |
| Power Conditioning / Surge Protection If you do a search in discussions (at top of this page) you'll be rewarded with all manner of thoughts and views on this, from those with first hand experience, to those who've never tried it and love to troll those who have. Just give it time.I u... | |
| I have been a stickler about keeping power cables away from signal cables...on equipment ? I'd venture to say that it's all due to design, packaging and costs. Some makes will go so far as to put shielding, covers and walls inside an amp to segregate sections so they pollute each other. It's sad to think that someone will go to the trou... | |
| The secret to a great amplifier... Is fuse rolling a thing now? To Rip Van Winkle, maybe. |
