| The Absurdity of it All @oregonpapa Thank you for that. The difference between hearing, and listening.Put an omni directional mic in a busy room. Play it back. Try do isolate any conversation and follow it. Not so easy to do. It hears everything, and listens to nothing.H... | |

| Cat Scratch Fever? @oldhvymec I feel your pain :)Every month, the Ex would think she was pregnant.My response would be "Nope, not pregnant. Tuesday..."Tuesday would roll around."I'm not pregnant"Yeah...I'm sure the records are fine, what are the chances of mold fo... | |
| Cat Scratch Fever? @boothroyd Thank you for helping to clarify malevolence. Prior to your link I had no idea what that meant...And thank you for providing a science>media example by pulling something out of context and using it for your own purposes.The preface ... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? @OP Well, how do you think Riedel has established themselves at the forefront of wineglass design? The shape of the bowl, the height of the glass, the angle of the sides and the size of the opening.All designed to deliver maximum satisfaction fro... | |
| Cat Scratch Fever? Read about him contracting Covid. Sad, I don't wish ill on anyone.Have concerns though. If he walks away from this with comparative ease, its not going to help raise any public awareness as far as the risks associated with Covid.So, as much as i d... | |
| The Absurdity of it All @edgewound What? Tweaks are not something that have to be overcome!Lets see... The components need to sit on top of something. Hmmm, do they sit atop a rickety old chair, or a solid platform?Tweak one...Now, to better control vibration, both in... | |
| The Absurdity of it All @jpeters568 Thank you for being open to considering these things.I live with changes, adjustments, components in my system for a while so as to become numb to the changes. I need to hear the thing for what it is, what I like and what I dislike. ... | |

| The Absurdity of it All @jpeters568Not claiming we can hear better, just that we can listen better.No one is claiming "Huge differences", just differences.No one tweak is coming to shatter your audio experience, however, when all put together, they add up to something mo... | |

| The Absurdity of it All 04-20-2021 10:19am"Point being to encourage more humility and less dogmatism. "Right. So, what is more dogmatic? Saying trust your own ears, let them tell you what you hear, on your own system in your own room using your own judgement combined w... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? The only people I know of who run wires in reverse do so in the basements of churches. Apparently, they hear some pretty dark stuff...I find the idea of listening to an entire spool of wire a very interesting idea. Always appreciated/enjoyed calcu... | |
| Definitely lonely to be an audiophile OP,Perhaps, just perhaps your four legged friend likes you just fine, and maybe, just maybe, she thinks your system sounds like, well, dog poop :) | |
| Definitely lonely to be an audiophile Solitary pursuit for sure.There are a couple of people I can sit and listen to music with, usually followed up with conversation about what was just listened to.There are others I can share my gear head nerd side with, which is followed up with co... |
