| Brief Review: JW Audio Cryo Nova Speaker Cables Congrats @foster_9,It pays to keep those older cable around. I have about half a dozen that I've never bothered to sell and try them out when I get a new component just like you did, just to see how they fare and as an indicator of how and where t... | |
| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio @mzkmxcv,No. No grasping at straws as the measurements show only part of the story. The only straw being grasped is the one you chose in saying that the measurement is definitive of what an ideal speaker should sound like without being there to he... | |
| How good's your hearing How about 'sense' it as your mind fills in the gaps? I ask because the harmonics start right where the actual range stops.All the best,Nonoise | |
| How good's your hearing For some reason I can’t get any links to post now. Just google ’musical instrument frequency chart’ and you’ll see that the violin’s frequency range is from 200 Hz to about 1.3Khz with harmonics out to about 17Khz and the flute is about 250Hz to a... | |

| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio @mzkmxcv,I think you missed my point, which is that no speaker can be ideal as all speakers are a compromise due to the fact that they are the biggest generators of distortion in the audio chain. The fact that everyone picked that speaker only goe... | |
| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio That’s not what Floyd Toole and Sean Olive has found. Toole said people picked the more ideal speaker every single time, no exceptions. So in one test that you cite, everyone picked the same speaker, which produces the most distortion of any audio... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound I’m sure there is but do you honestly think that we’re at the height of our ability to measure it or that there will be no more advances in our ability to measure? Add to that that there’s no doubt that there are differences in say, sound staging ... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? Thanks Al and sorry Elizabeth,When I inserted the link, I must have cut off part of it. I miss the old way I used to do it before this site and apple did their updates/revisions. Also, you can go the right side of the page and see Roger's other ar... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? Here's a couple of articles from Roger Skoff that can either add or detract, depending on one's inclinations:https://positive-feedback.com/audio-discourse/rcl-part-1/ &http://https//positive-feedback.com/audio-discourse/rcl-part-2-roger-skoff-... | |
| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio I don't know anyone who listens to the test tones that reviewers use to determine how good, or bad, a piece of equipment performs. Those test tones are not representative of any piece of music that I know of. They're a metric that has been agreed ... | |
| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio @mzkmxcv, You have a peculiar way of seeing (hearing?) things. | |

| A DAC that crushes price vs. performance ratio Sterility does not equate to transparency. Tone, timbre, sound staging, fullness and realism can most definitely point to transparency if that is in the original recording. The lack of those qualities can take a natural and pleasing production of ... | |
| I’m pretty sure I’ve lost my mind... I’m having a huge dilemma here because these cables make everything sound so natural, real, detailed yet less bright and less sibilance, great imaging, bass, and timing. The music fits together better.Time to stock up on some Ramen noodles for th... |
