| Ridiculous assertions that someone is being ripped off or conned @jerryg123 You are thinking of another contributor who quoted that, I forget who. While the quote may have some merit depending on the circumstances, it is not one that I subscribe to when questioning what I consider worthy of being questioned. ... | |
| Ridiculous assertions that someone is being ripped off or conned But we are not professionals. We are enthusiasts rather. Perhaps that is all the more reason for certain ethical practices to be agreed upon. To my knowledge there is no international outfit that will offer guidence, so we must self regulate ... | |
| Ridiculous assertions that someone is being ripped off or conned @snilf You articulate the reasons very well for maintaining quality professional standards. | |
| $39K for the Linn Klimax DAC/streamer? @mahler123 I’d be most interested in reading that article if it is available. I did a search with no success. Would you be so kind as to pont me in the right direction? I think that the quite sustained increase in inequality (in both relative an... | |
| One big reason why brick and mortar high end audio dealers struggle. Also, one person’s idea of a great sales experience will not be the same as the next. Too right. What some here have shared that they find so displeasing in their (less than great) sales experience I may often prefer. I do recognize that perhaps I... | |
| That Other Audiophile Website You know the flip lid on Rega CD players? They make for a great ciggie ash tray. | |
| Can You Hear Me Now In any experiment, especially psychological, the devil is in the details. Even when elementary errors of logic have been avoided, and even when the statistics have not been abused, measurements are often irrelevant to the goals of the study.The wh... | |
| Science that explains why we hear differences in cables? A clue: science is not an industrial planified theoretical and experimental centralized project Yeah, people should stop saying that about science all the time, I agree.Where's that confounded vodka. Dingo must have taken it. | |
| Science that explains why we hear differences in cables? When the argument is presented that “science says it isn’t so”, it’s a very limited outlook. The phrase should be “our current scientific knowledge suggests that it shouldn’t be possible”. I'm not actually sure where “science says it isn’t so” ... | |
| Does Heavy Metal music benefit from a high end audio system? @arcticdeth That is all priceless. with a very few exceptions, %94 of bands listed here are NOT metal. I think that number might be a bit low, but anyway, your point is well made by someone who knows exactly what they are talking about. | |
| Science that explains why we hear differences in cables? Why not apply it to audio cable design, if it produces desirable results…? Apparently it has, at least for some. Red paint applied to cars makes them go faster. Apparently it does, for some - ask any traffic cop. | |
| Does Heavy Metal music benefit from a high end audio system? But the few times I’ve heard heavy metal, I couldn’t help but notice it was so compressed that whatever fidelity good audio gear brings to the party might not be as noticeable on typical recordings in this genre.Of course, that wouldn’t hold true ... | |
| Science that explains why we hear differences in cables? @djones51 when science is used as in the articles cited in the OP to promote cable sales and sound difference it’s okay to call BS when the underlying principles in those articles prove no such thing. Buy what you want but don’t deride science th... | |
| Science that explains why we hear differences in cables? The type of cable and the manufacturer doesn't matter, my point is that from my experience, no matter what the technology, it's a hit or miss with cables, and if you're lucky, and all of the hidden variables happen to align... based on reviews,... | |
| Does Heavy Metal music benefit from a high end audio system? @cd318, pedantic is good. Heavy rock is just that. It may be loud, with lots of shrieking vocals and dominant electric guitar, boisterous and many other things of merit. That was a few Zep songs. Levee was very much blues, a country-blues song ori... |
