| Skeptic or just plain hard headed Cool.I’m sure I missed some previous details.What “recording?” It sounds like you used a cassette deck to record a music signal from....a DAC? Turntable?So your friend is going to choose which side of the cassette to play?You can blind test for... | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? @orpheus10—-“I stand by that statement 100%, “Suite yourself. Doesn’t make it a jot more reasonable to keep standing by it.If I declared “Without a shadow of a doubt the most desirable car is the 68 corvette” everyone would understand I am talking... | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? @orpheus10—- “Without a shadow of a doubt, the most desirable aspect of high end audio is "The Holographic sound stage",”Correction: FOR YOU that is the most desirable aspect.I’m often puzzled by how many audiophiles confuse their own subjective p... | |
| Well... guess I have to jump in the rabbit hole of speaker cables... lol captbeaverIt’s not your Belden cables. They are “industry standard” cables long used in the pro realm for many of your favorite recordings. They would not be used if they had some weird defect like “raspy highs” and all the recordings using tho... | |
| Skeptic or just plain hard headed @barnettk Exciting!As to finally putting the ac cable issue to rest, whatever result you get will not lay it to rest. My “negative” results for detecting sonic differences do not settle that AC cables can’t alter the sound in either my or other pe... | |
| Skeptic or just plain hard headed Oh jeeze, I don’t mean to cause you any more work Keith!But since you seem to be up to more testing...Its no good to rely on concepts like “X person has no interest in the gear so if they report hearing a difference it can’t be bias and must be ac... | |

| Thiel Owners @samzx12 Which higher powered tube amp did you just try and how many watts?I’ve long used my Conrad Johnson Premier 12 140w/side mono blocks and they seem to drive anything with grip and verve, Thiel 3.7 And 2.7s included.I owned a 55 w CJ tube am... | |
| Is it all in my head?? boxer12No audio grade outlets. Until very recently no power conditioning at all. However I added some new equipment not long ago, which finally got me to redressing my wiring. I found that a couple of Furman PST-8 SMP EVS power bars quite usefu... | |

| Skeptic or just plain hard headed Thanks for the considered reply Keith.As I said I’m absolutely not trying to declare, or convince you, that you heard no real sonic difference with your burned in cable. I was only raising points to consider if you are really trying to get careful... | |
| Anyone Else Here In To LIBRARY/PRODUCTION MUSIC? @nicoticoGlad my post was of interest. Can’t respond with more links now - travelling - but THANK YOU for the heads up on those albums I haven’t heard. I’ll check it out.I own the Unusual Sounds book. It’s terrific. There’s an earlier book on Libr... | |
| Is it all in my head?? Elizabeth Fair point!However I’m used to seeing just that criticism lobbed at me and others here who are not calling you and others deluded idiots. I believe I’ve seen you impute this to my posts before as well.So taking “the naysayers” to include... |
