| Do powercords make a difference in sound? 09-08-11: Drubinthe fact that audio equipment makers are not shipping product using these "upmarket" power cords tell me that the people who actually make audio equipment aren't buying into these assertions.All you'd have to do is visit a high-end... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? 09-08-11: ZaikesmanWhat I must wonder is, how you would explain it if you came to my house, listened to my system with different power cord substitutions, and heard the correlated sonic effects that I hear? Because I don't see how you could fail t... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? 09-07-11: TbgPaperw8, why do you care? It is not your money nor your listening. It sounds like you are offended for others, why would that be?i engage in these discussions for the following reasons:1)intellectual interest: i sometimes learn stuff ... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? 09-07-11: TbgRwwear, no one owes you proof. I doubt seriously if many audiophiles avoid trying different power cords because several people, imbued with the "laws of EE," claim they could make no difference.let me give you a hypothetical: a person... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? 09-07-11: Mrtennisi think most would agree that many statements made on the discussion forums cannot be proven, because they are opinions, not facts or knowledge.to a certain extent, it's like trying to prove/disprove the existence of santa claus ... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? 09-07-11: ZaikesmanPaperw8: I can't help but notice that you basically punted on my question. You said you couldn't know what was going in another audionphile's head, so to speak. Well of course, but I didn't ask you that: I asked what explanation... | |
| vibration control 09-06-11: GeoffkaitAn electromagnetic field is subject to a number of things, including as you suspect, static electric fields. But we have learned that the electromagnetic field - the audio signal carried through wires and cables is also subject ... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? 09-06-11: RwwearI think anyone interested should read this:http://www.roger-russell.com/wire/wire.htm#houseremember: shiny side out! | |
| vibration control 09-06-11: GeoffkaitIt seems pretty clear than any wire or cable or electronic element such as a capacitor or resistor is subject to vibration. Tonearms and cartridges as well as the platters of turntables are also subject to vibration, since they ... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? 09-06-11: Douglas_schroeder(poking my nose back in for a moment...)Paperw8, you do harm to your argument with such illustrations that stretch credibility. I sense you are quite passionate about your position, but you hurt yourself when you suggest... | |
| vibration control 09-05-11: Roxy54I don't believe in magic either Paperw8, and I have tried several tweaks that yielded little or no positive result for me. It is really too bad that we need to waste sometimes substantial amounts of money to find out that it was fo... | |
| vibration control 09-05-11: Roxy54Paperw8,I think that what is ridiculous is making the comments you make without having tried any of these devices. It isn't always possible to explain why something works, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't work. That isn't to s... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? 09-04-11: ZaikesmanPaperw8: How do you explain the audiophile, such as myself and no doubt just about anyone who has actually tried a variety of power cords and hears differences among them (or any other component for that matter -- power cords ar... | |
| Is no preamp the best preamp of all? 09-05-11: AmfibiusThere is no such thing as no preamp. A preamp is simply gain stage + volume control. Just because your DAC has a built-in gain stage and volume control, and you elect to connect it directly to your power amp, does not mean that y... | |
| vibration control i don't get it with all these "vibration control" devices: is the idea that they prevent the vibrations from shaking up the electrons, which would (presumably) affect the sound? the idea of it all just sounds ridiculous to me. but many of these "t... |
