| cables vs wire? Trust your own ears. Let things settle in. Give it time.There will NEVER be consensus on this subject.I've always stayed within my budget and found some great cabling without the hyperbole. Darwin Silver ICs and Tempo Electric SCs (with bare ends)... | |
| How loud is loud? Rarely is the time I can listen to anything loud. I don't go to conerts hardly anymore due to it being so loud.It's little girls with guitars for me :-)All the best,Nonoise | |

| Do distortion 's affect enjoyment of speaker? One's system aside, distortion of the mind by way of drink can add to the enjoyment. Too much drink does lead to gross distortions though so take it easy.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Computer vs CD/SACD discs Until I can try and afford something like the Antipodes (check out Darko's review http://www.digitalaudioreview.net/2014/02/antipodes-audio-ds-reference-review-6moons/ & Steve's recommendations) I'll just add another +1 for Grannyrigs' insight... | |
| Anything you can put between spikes and carpet? I have my Tonians on a 1 1/2" maple butcher block with metal discs under the spikes. I used to have some flagstone under the butcher blocks and tried many variations with these three elements and ended up without the flagstone, then without the di... | |
| Atlantic City casinos closing... Quite a while ago there was a congressman from California who lived either in Bel Air or Beverly Hills and he came right out and said that if you based rates on ones driving record (speeding and accidents) and then factored in the cost of repairs ... | |

| Atlantic City casinos closing... It's nice to see a civil discussion here. There is, however, one meme that I have to slay and that is the "billions" we spend on the poor. It sounds like a lot but compared to what?Someone, somewhere went and did the math for an average person who... | |

| Atlantic City casinos closing... One needs only to google predatory lending practices to see how badly the poor are marginalized and screwed.I'll continue.One needs only to google redlining practices in insurance rates and discover that although it's illegal, it's still done thro... | |
| Is computer audio a bust? Nice link Agear. There seems to be a lot going on that we simply don't take into account. I, for one, am not keen on putting my head in a vise in order to eliminate the comb effect from moving my head around :-)What I also found interesting is the... | |
| Is computer audio a bust? My ears tell me that my CDs sound a lot better played in an SACD player and that SACDs don't necessarily sound better at all. Is this due to the fact that most SACD players are more robustly built with better power supplies and regulation?It's onl... | |
| Is computer audio a bust? I dunno.Has this been shot down hereabouts yet?http://xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/neil-young.html&http://xiph.org/video/vid2.shtmlAll of this reminds me of the horsepower wars that any conversation about cars engenders.All the best,Nonoise |
