| The Science of Cables douglas,I'm unclear about what you mean when citing "explanations for analogue ." Especially given you've mentioned vinyl.Are you saying there is no one out there citing measurable, objective basis for why vinyl can sound different from digital s... | |
| The Science of Cables @douglas_shroederI imagine that if you would dismiss all these persons' conclusions you would say it is due to confirmation bias. FWIW...I personally don't simply dismiss your findings as confirmation bias.Not that I know either way how the percei... | |
| Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period. @rodman99999Thank you.As I said, I do find your hypothetical explanation interesting. I've heard something similar before to explain possible changes in cable performance.I'm no expert on electrical theory to say the least, so I'll have to sit bac... | |
| Thiel Owners andy2,In my personal experience, my emotional engagement with a speaker is not based on whether it's first order or not. I have several speakers using high order topologies that I find very emotionally engaging. (In fact, I was partially driven... | |
| The Science of Cables taras,Except for the fact that you contradict yourself by consciously choosing specific cables for the given system in hand ---to act as tone controls. Try looking up the fallacy "Begging The Question."Then get back to me. (Hint, you are assert... | |
| Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period. @rodman99999Conversation will prove impossible if you refuse to try to understand what is being written instead of leaping to some caricature you have in your mind. If someone just doesn’t automatically believe what you believe or doesn’t simply a... | |
| The Science of Cables erik,I sometimes use my old Eico HF-81 integrated tube amp and I quite enjoy using the tone controls. I don't go adjusting them for every recording of course as that level of fiddling would for me suck the joy out of music listening. But it's n... | |
| Thiel Owners pwhinsonWhen I was seeking a possible replacement for my Thiel 3.7s (only due to the size/depth of the 3.7s causing me a little ergonomic problem in my room) I auditioned the Magico A3 at length. I wrote about my impressions in another thread, b... | |
| Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period. elizabeth,It's not true that no one's mind is ever changed in discussions like these, including audiophile controversies like cables, tweaks, burn in etc. There are plenty of audiophiles who have switched from whole-hearted belief in all sorts o... | |
| The Science of Cables taras22,You are clearly referring to your post in which you wrote: taras: So if you are happy with functional mediocrity go ahead and knock yourself out, but please don’t try to impose your rather dogmatic beliefs on others. And I paraphrased your... | |
| How I would measure cables thyname,Another pointless discussion from the people who yell "PROVE IT TO ME" all over the Internets, with no desire whatsoever to try for themselves. You can make it pointless by attacking strawmen. Or, we could have a possibly interesting conve... | |
| Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period. @rodman99999It’s amazing how much exception you take simply to the obvious questions of how you would turn your conjecture in to a testable hypothesis.Why does this cause you to run around in circles, and shift the burden to me as if I had to some... | |
| The Science of Cables taras22You attempted your usual: "don’t be so dogmatic about science because science doesn’t know everything, scientific knowledge isn’t absolute, and even the greatest scientists got some things ridiculously wrong."I explained as I have to you ov... | |
| The Science of Cables taras22I'm sure it hasn't gone unnoticed by a number of others that, yet again, you posted some more nonsense about science and, when that nonsense was taken apart, you ignore the points (because you have no plausible replies) and retreat back to ... | |
| Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period. @rodman99999You seem to just be avoiding the questions I asked.That cable burn-in occurs, has been established by the manufacturers, as well as those multitudes, that have provided their empirical evidence. Can you please provide links to this evi... |
