Speakers as the principle component/other components are servants I've heard EL34 vs 88 vs 120's, So close as to make it pointless.TranslatedI’m so tinned eared that EL34s and KT88s sound the same to me. | |
warmest speaker cables you've heard? You are both wrong. The argument is senseless. My argument is “senseless” to those who cannot comprehend the English language and keep within context.There is no sense in educating you …FLMAO. This from somebody who cannot comprehend English. | |
Why is science just a starting point and not an end point? Look at Prof's post above then read the book mentioned. Nobody's hearing is reliable enough. My audio system is there solely to please me; more exact, to please my hearing. If it pleases me, it is performing as it should. There is no higher judge ... | |
Why is science just a starting point and not an end point? Good science is a very high bar. A theory must be proven universally true. That is why science is always a long way behind conjecture.Name a single scientist fact that will not be proven at least partially untrue in the future. Not possible.For ex... | |
What system would a robot with ears buy? The same system the humans without ears buy … meaning the folks who need a scope to confirm that they have a good sound system. | |
Amp switcher with tube amp protection You need to consider your music listening vs. tv watching patterns. Tubes will last a lot longer if left on for slightly longer periods than frequent power ups and power downs. If you listen to music 2 or more times a day, broken up with a period ... | |
Returning to audiophilism after 20 years: a little guidance would be nice :-) Hi Pieter. Welcome back. In short I think vinyl can still trounce digital sound wise, but cost wise an analogue front end is exponentially more costly than digital. A $500 streamer can produce surprisingly good sound from a source such as Tidal, a... | |
Why is science just a starting point and not an end point? Test tones also shows how equipment performs at listening levelsNo they don’t. Some of us do have hearing that is both sensitive and reliable enough that we don’t need to a scope to tell us if we heard something or not. | |
warmest speaker cables you've heard? That capacitance albeit very very low, is the only characteristic that could possibly affect audio.This probably one of the most profoundly anti-scientific and outright absurd statements I have ever heard in a while.There is no scientific model th... | |
warmest speaker cables you've heard? @docroastyNot sure how this would translate to you RAAL headphones, but I’ve warmed up my sound by wiring a low value cap across the amp terminals. You can get a couple of inexpensive orange drop caps to see if it works and determine which value h... | |
How much do caps matter-Cary SLI-80 A bit late to the party pauly...I don’t like responding without taking the time to give it some thought. | |
Will line conditioner do anything for the other receptacle in a duplex? It will depend on its design. Ask the manufacturer. | |
How much do caps matter-Cary SLI-80 Changing your caps will change the sound of your amp. Consider if you want to alter your sound, and if so what type of change you’d like. You have many options. | |
Why is science just a starting point and not an end point? " Science is a methodology that allows you to detect patterns in data.""Science" is organized knowledge, not a methodology. "Scientific method" is the underlying methodology which results in the creation of scientific knowledgeDetecting patterns i... | |
Why is science just a starting point and not an end point? ... but [science] should be able to measure the performance of equipment! That would be very useful ... sadly it's biggest contribution currently is to make the hard-of-hearing believe that the rest of us are as ill equipped to judge sound b... |
