| Hearing Tests Agreed. At the phys.com site, IKhz is the reference. At the digital recording site, mentioned above, there is a graph that closely mirrors mine and is indicative of hearing loss. Yet I still can hear and enjoy, albeit with the hearing loss. I list... | |
| Hearing Tests With all things turned off (as best I can), through my Shure SRH-940s and my Centrance DACmini, I could hear up to around 14.3Khz at www.phys.comAt the talkclassical site, the graph shows my hearing topping out here:12 Khz @-24db8Khz @-69db6Khz@-7... | |

| Audiogon members poor packing and shipping damage Everyone knows that shippers have the potential to really mess things up. Any package should be packed as carefully as possible. You'd have to more than a few screws loose if you just stick something haphazardly in a box and send it on its merry w... | |
| Best finger food for audiophile listening Personally, I find it too hard to eat and appreciate a great listening experience at the same time.But I do imbibe.A good glass of Pinot Noir does the trick for me. I just slowly savor it with the music.All the best,Nonoise | |

| why do we argue? Just as arguments are another form of communication, being 'funny' can be another form of being serious, serious being thoughtful, careful and deliberate and funny being just another way of getting your view across without the associated cost of b... | |
| Speaker cables of cooper, or silver :Pros/Cons Charles1dad +1It's all in how it's made. All silver cables do NOT sound the same. The same goes for copper, which has been around for a long time and we all know just how different they all sound. All the best,Nonoise | |

| Thoughts from THE Show, is $29k the new $10k? Bryon,I didn't know the Evolution Acoustic MMMicro Ones were only $2500. I had a quick listen and was really impressed but thought that they were one of the expensive ones due to the quality of the cabinetry. Very impressive sound.Mribob, You put ... | |
