| Moving cables around killed dynamics for days anyone else experience this? Nelson Pass makes amps that purposely distort the signal to make them work with certain speakers. I know a recording engineer who bought one of his designs and said it was one of the worse sounding amps he's ever heard. He even called Nelson and t... | |
| Moving cables around killed dynamics for days anyone else experience this? Because every second person on any audio forum likes to talk about science and measurements.It's been my experience that those who hear a difference don't usually cite scientific findings to explain what they hear as they trust their ears.Once the... | |
| fair complaint about Audiogon, violating no guidelines, removed I’m in Canada, and have had many an American refuse to do business with me due to where I’m located. That speaks volumes of how small minded some are. All the best,Nonoise | |
| A cable routing reminder The insulator I use (which is a foam used inside of piping with a slit down the side) provides about <1" of barrier between the cables and it worked for me.If I wasn't so lazy, I'd set about creating larger distances, but, like I said, I'm lazy... | |
| Another marketing gimmick? A friend of mine was the youngest engineer at JPL at the time and he worked with Gallium nitride back then. That was in the late '70s. I don't know what the application was but he told me it was difficult and dangerous to work with.All the best,No... | |
| Moving cables around killed dynamics for days anyone else experience this? All of this reminds me of a cartoon that The Audio Critic had where the audiophile was behind his stereo, holding some cables, and yelling at his family, "Who the hell cleaned back here?", or something like that.It was meant to ridicule folk like ... | |
| Steakster nailed it! Well, in most cases that works. But with this person, it was like a slow, water drip torture session. He went out of his way to dissect and comb thru every utterance made and throw it back in people's faces.I stayed away for as long as I could, re... | |
| Steakster nailed it! What's his new nom de plume gonna be? | |
| Another marketing gimmick? Nope. My intention was not to look knowledgeable at all. You must not think that others do things for the same reasons you do.As for personal attacks, you just mask them (sometimes poorly) in your rebuttals, but they do show. As for mine, it's jus... | |
| Another marketing gimmick? Using "radar" and providing the link with the attribution shows I was just lazy. Nothing more.Your needling every and any point to better others shows you to be an audio (and carpet) harpy of the highest order. I think you’ve found your niche. Car... | |
| Another marketing gimmick? The device I use was developed very specifically for class D audio, not for power supplies, low voltage points of load or RF circuits.Yes, others use GaN devices but not the ones he worked on with the supplier and he bought out all the inventory. ... | |
| Moving cables around killed dynamics for days anyone else experience this? Idle hands are the devil's workshop.👍 | |
| A cable routing reminder This recent thread should be of help: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/does-raising-speaker-cables-off-the-floor-really-make-a-big-difference?highlight=raising%2BcablesAll the best,Nonoise | |
| A cable routing reminder @steakster,Thanks for starting this thread. One can be in this hobby a long time and forget some of the dos and dont’s. Case in point (no, I’m not Rod Serling), I raised my cables a short while ago and heard the benefits. Then, I sold my beloved B... | |
| Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference? So many chiefs in the kitchen but only a few real chefs. |
