| If you want the utmost clarity from your CDs @clearthinker So this is $34.99 snake oil. As snake oil goes, cheap at the price. And for an experience so intense as to seem almost tangible, who wouldn't want to just have to try it? | |
| Audio nonsense @waytoomuchstuff This forum may be a good source to flush out the pretenders from legitimate products. The principle is very good on so many levels, but evidence is that the suggested means of implementing it is flawed. On the other hand, woul... | |
| Inflation @socalml528 Yes, @noske, the FEDs are top economists in the country and recent inflation cycles don’t comply with our daily existence. Bearing in mind that the current Fed head honcho, Jerome Powell, has no formal economics education and was a ... | |
| Audio nonsense @waytoomuchstuff The absoluteness of their belief systems are a bit stunning at times. Subscribing to known and accepted maths and physics that have accumulated over the history of human thought is not a belief system. While this goes back mill... | |
| Audio nonsense You may recall the comment somewhere along the way that given what we know about science and math, an Aeronautical Engineer would have to conclude that Bumble Bees can’t fly. So given that this is incorrect and maths and science can explain why... | |
| Inflation Realistically, my guess is that in specific cases, it is due to supply chain issues. They can be cumulative - a delay (or a price increase) in a primary component affects everything that went after it in the chain. Especially sensitive products ... | |
| Inflation inflation is managed through the Fed The Fed knows not what they do. A topic for perhaps another forum. Watch out. | |

| Is the Cyberpower Pure Sine AC regenerator a good buy? What is the process called that ensures the output power is pure sine wave? | |
| Law of Accelerated Returns There is a well respected school of thought, that has been around for quite some time now, that what someone pays for something is less than or equal to what they value it at. What Mr Harley is on about is something rather different. Although, a... | |
| Inflation The Bonn N8 was $399 in 2020. Now it is $549. Perhaps its been upgraded and enhanced to be even more superior than it was previously. You don't get that with gold or silver or dirt. | |
| Law of Accelerated Returns Harley wants you to maintain interest in increasingly expensive equipment so that you will read the magazine that employs him. He then gets to play with the really expensive stuff while you just read about it. I have no wish to speculate on his... | |
| AGD Tempo in the house I'm always keen to learn more about the AGD products. Other people have also noticed this similarity with Class A and some have suggested SET tube sound. I have read only one review that was of a disinterested disposition where by definition the... | |
| Law of Accelerated Returns Harley has been promoting this idea for quite some time. In 2014 he wrote this - Many audiophiles think of an audio system from the perspective of The Law of Diminishing Returns. That’s the idea that each successive dollar you add to your hi-fi ... | |
| Audio nonsense @jpwarren58 Same as arguing against another's faith. Fruitless endeavor. Sort of, but people of faith normally have a creed, a well formed and reasonably coherent explanation and philosophy for the basis of their belief system. Here it is al... |
